What's up with that anyway? lol

I dunno. I do know I wanna ride. I think that I am going to set the finishing strokes in motion and get the rest of the parts for my bike to finish this oh so long project that has been lurking on these archives for so long.

Were you away all winter that you would miss Wisconsin? I was here and I wish I had missed it. It's snowing again as I write this.

The flag is in west central Illinois. It's moving north soon, supposed to be around Chicago the weekend of April 13th. You're in the Fox Valley, correct? Oshkosh, Appleton, somewhere? Riding a KZ440 I believe?

I summarized the route for Link14 yesterday. Keep an eye open for updates. Glad you survived the cold.

Crap, I need another cup of coffee. I realized the route was in a PM, so here it is for all to see.

From Rainman in Quincy, IL to BlueJ58 in Marseilles, IL. BlueJ takes it into Chicago to Saxjones and another rider there, sorry I don't remember the name. I'll go into Chicago and pick it up and carry it into Wisconsin. There are several riders here. WendyS and DoubleDub in Madison, Daddy Jama in Oshkosh, I think Moneypit is up north (with a bent frame if memory serves) then into Minneapolis. A Minnesota rider goes west to clip the corners of the Dakotas and then the flag moves south into Iowa. There are 3 riders in IA, I think from Ottumwa all the way west to the Nebraska border. Then south into Kansas, Again multiple riders to cover that state. Then south west to New Mexico. That ends leg 3. Link 14 takes over from there to cover th4e really big Rocky Mountain states. I'll study the map some and come up with a detailed plan as I here from the individual riders.
Wake up every body! We're on the road again soon. *^$@#%^&( winter is almost gone and it's time to ride!

Good to hear!! I'm actually in Sheboygan now. North of millwuakee. The kz440 is still going!

While I'm glad things are getting moving, I'll have to admit its hard to get much enthusiasm while its snowing sideways outside and piling up. :)

Dangit boy, I need to get yours done quickly then, I think I only have the 1 rotor left to do and the fender mounts.

65 here. Put gas and a battery in the SR and she sprang to life on the third kick. Probably the only riding I'll get in for a while.

pretty much the same here as it was in dec on this weather map...country is different but this coast is chilly days still (for our coasts blood and gear)...the garden stores all have plants for sale and vegetable six pack starters are on display everywhere....but again...Ice on the car two days last week....soon enough it will be warm and then we will get this thing rolling smooth....do we now have one flag ride?
or a few in progress at this point?
has the map been updated ?
and does anyone have ,or, want to post a link to it here for updated new pinned riders,or new readers of this post?
