I'd love to make it but at around 1,200 miles and 18 hrs of drive, I have to decline. Honestly, it's too much with my other obligations and I'm sure it would be a needed vacation but saving that for honeymoon this fall, mama wins that vacation.

Happy wife, happy life....
I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.

It looks like we will get the flag moving next week if all goes well. Anyone south of Portland interested in getting together?

The only N.CA contact I have is Slayer61 down south of Sacramento. I was in contact with him last fall, and I just heard from him again the other day. He is up for the relay still. So once it gets to Portland, there needs to be a link south, possibly into N.CA and beyond. I have a trip already planned to ride to N.CA in June, so I could take it then, if it needs moving. Or another weekend of a meet up more half way if Slayer61 is up for it. Since the relay doesn't seem to be moving to Canada, it might as well just move south through the rest of the states, then be at the rally at 4 corners in August.
Anyone from the Pacific north West going to 4 corners? Plan a head, post up your intentions. I'm going to ride there and back, with my friend and his CBX.

I'm in AZ now but at least 6 weeks before the bike will be done. I'm willing to ride as far as I have to to get the flag on its way.

I live in Roseburg, OR and would love to help move this along...unfortunatley I'm semi-bikeless right now as my one year kz1000 project goes into it third year, and my kz750 that I picked up to be a daily rider is still giving me problems ans needs more $ put into it than i was expecting. This leaves me with my wifes 260cc chinese scooter as the most reliable thing here to ride.
:sick:

at this point i think we could just put some kz parts in the trunk of the car and drape the flag over the parts and drive it to the next bike/rider that is ready now

Re: KZR North American Relay Ride North West Leg
27 Apr 2014 06:39Thanks for the interest in the relay. Hopefully you'll get the KZ running before the flag makes another trip around the Continent. Or at least that's been the talk, a second, or continuous relay. So keep tuned in to KZR to see if that becomes the reality.fastidiots wrote: I live in Roseburg, OR and would love to help move this along...unfortunatley I'm semi-bikeless right now as my one year kz1000 project goes into it third year, and my kz750 that I picked up to be a daily rider is still giving me problems ans needs more $ put into it than i was expecting.

Sorry no Chinese scooters are allowed to carry the Flag.
So once you get the KZ running post up.
