Maybe I'll start a thread that riders can post their route while carrying the flag, yes ?

That's a great idea!! Ed

I just picked up the flag from WABBMW (Bill Baker) and jtmcculloch (Jim) at the The Progressive International Motorcycle Show in Dallas TX. I left at 7:30am and got there around noon. Bill and Jim had a more eventful trip but arrived safe around 4 pm. Greg (Arai59) came to the show and we got a chance to meet him, a nice guy. We had our pictures taken with the flag and then I had to get started for home. I left at 4:30 and with a fast 25-30 mph tailwind I was able to comfortably cruise the 650 at 80-90 all the way home, taking only 4 hours and two gas stops.

The ride was great both ways for me, I rode 452 miles round trip. The weather began cloudy and 60's, but got up to 80 and sunny in the late afternoon. No rain at all on Saturday, but Bill and Jim may get some on Sunday when they ride back to Houston.

All in all, a beautiful fall day, lots of riding, saw some great bikes at the show, and got to meet great people from KZRider. The next hand-off is to 531blackbanshee (Leon) from the Tulsa area, sometime very soon.

Awesome job Kent Jim, Greg and Bill. You guys just filled a huge gap in the road to completion of the relay. I would have liked to have been there. A month ago I rode along that route from DFW to OKC on my way home from NM. Two more states off the list.

I hope the weather holds out good enough for a quick trip to Tulsa. Should be nice this afternoon, 'eh? (-;

Leon, you're up to bat. Oil yer chain and air yer tires, your going to ride west for a bit, soon we hope.

One more thing, where are the pictures?

Glad you had a safe trip ,that's a lot of miles for one day and just a head of bad weather.

Great timing, I hope other guys dodge the bullet too.
