Hey Drew, I thought we were the ones doing the relay ride so it was only fitting that our manly physiques should be showcased! I guess I will have to send in more pics of the bikes to satisfy everyone's need for Kaw! Looking to pass the flag this Sunday to JR.

Wow. News travels fast !!! I just got off the phone with Bear1 10 minutes ago.
Yes. I met up with Kawboy74 earlier in Paris Ontario and Bear1 and I plan to meet in Port Huron MI on Thursday afternoon. All going well we will fine tune the details over the next day or two.
Meanwhile heres a pic of the handoff. I will post more in the photo album under Ride Reports along with some details and an interesting little anecdote

Well, the flag is moving on in the more than capable hands of JR. As he mentioned, we met in Paris (sounds way too romantic!)and had a great time gabbing about a lot of things. The weather started out ok, then started to drizzle in places that it didn't seem like it would, then in places where it looked like the skies would open up, nothing happened. As luck would have it, the rain started just when we thought we would do the hand off of the flag but after separating and heading off it stopped about ten miles out. A little cleaning will be in the next few days I guess.
Thanks for the good time John and have a safe trip out and over the border. Talk to you when you get back.

I'm up for meeting Bear this Saturday and KZCurt on Sunday. Weather looks beautiful - low 70's and sunny : - )
I'm going to wear my vintage racing suit as it won't be in the 90's.
Bear and Streetfighter...I'll email you guys so we can get this lined up.

I didn't get it that dirty Drew, it spit like crazy but the road never seemed to get wet enough to splash up on anything which surprised me! I was glad to get the flag to John so that it could get to the border. Lots of luck and safe riding on the next leg guys.
