[oz353]

meet today?

im going down there just cause i want to. so if you can meet let me know.

[steezin_and_wheezin]

Bump!! I know its cold up that way, but lets keep this wheel moving. Maybe we can get the next meet set in stone before the start of next riding season?

[jestercinti]

Agreed. Although bike less since August 29, I'd like to see this keep moving.

[oz353]

my apologies everyone.... shortly after my trip to virginia i had to do my side cover gaskets and did a valve adjustment also. the bike was unridable. just to much oil leakage. also im very poor so getting everything necessary took some time.

so who is up for receiving the baton!!!!?

[RossLH]

I suppose I should update the map a little bit...I moved to Wisconsin in December, and the GS500 will not be joining me here.

[oz353]

-Bump-

Any volunteers that wish to take the baton further north?

[steezin_and_wheezin]

No worries oz! We knew it would slow down up north during the cold season. No need for a fellow twinner to brave the arctic temps we have brewing now, unless they want to! Check the map in the OG post, send a couple pm's to neighboring twinners. If you don't get any response for a while, keep us posted.

I may try and starting planning my moto trip for this summer. I am wanting to work towards the dream cross country ride, may warm my feet up on a north->south before adventuring on the east->west haul. We'll keep the baton moving once we get some bearable temps back

[iceIVblue]

Hey guys, been away a while. No cold gear = no cold riding for me. OZ when you decide to head north let me know, I'm pretty much in Glassboro.  Steezin, you Brew?

[oz353]

I will indeed ice.  im not to keen on the cold riding either... soon as its warm ill get in touch

[brickerenator]

I'm just north of DC, if we get a warm weekend in February I could take it to NY or farther north.

[steezin_and_wheezin]

Bump!!

[oz353]

Fellow gstwinners! The riding season has begun here in the north. Lets get this baton moving!  Message me and wd can get this thi.g moving again.

[oz353]

Ice blue, you would be ideal for a meet. I wouldnt even have to get off my street (322) for a long while!

[oz353]

Anyone want to take the baton north?

[steezin_and_wheezin]

Seems like the "sparkle" of the Relay has worn off haha. I'll dig into the map and try to dig someone north of ya up. If not, we'll just say screw them states and send it south! Next time I'm bored on the comp, I'll put together a google map showing the baton's travel thus far.

[AnonRider]

lol, so where is this thing? I'm in north nj by nyc trying to get involved in this.

[BockinBboy]

Its in Pennsylvania IIRC... so anyone in New York, Connecticut, other New England States, etc... would be what we were hoping for, but it may have to head back south if no ones comes outta the wood work up there.  In which case I'd imagine VA would be next.  But Anon, NJ... you should be pretty close to meet up for sure regardless if it goes North South, depending on how much you'd like to travel with it.  Go ahead an PM oz since he has it and you guys are pretty close.
