This topic has been brought up in the main relay thread before. I suggested putting it in a bottle once it reaches the west coast and see if the currents can carry it to Japan, lol. But seriously, some suggested continuing it to members world wide. But not too practical either since the density of KZR riders, in most countries, is not as great as in the U.S. and Canada. The U.K. and Australia do have a lot of KZR members however. And it would be great if they can get their turn. Would be cool if it can end up in Japan with Kawasaki so they can use it for promotion or in their museum. But who knows what will happen to it. But the important thing is that the quest will have been fulfilled.
