I'm definitely getting myself a Passport Card. It's an ID that can be used to get in and out of Canada and Mexico so you don't need a full passport.

Damn terrorists.

Hey Dave, I picked up Lefty & the logs this afternoon.  Will put you down as requested.  I won't get charged with forgery, will I?

Only if all the pins are gone before the relay gets to me!     

[brooze72]

Don't worry yet, mad, seems like lots left so far 

[scottly]

So everyone after the first week of this year's relay got pins??

[Stev-o]

No, I didn't want one so didn't take. What would you do with it?

[OldSchool_IsCool]

Well done Team Michigan!  Special thanks to Sean and Artee as the lead off and anchor riders!  And thanks also to all riders in between.

The leg we ran was a lot different then the one we planned. Dealing with the realities on the ground is a lot of the excitement of something like this. My only regret is not getting Lefty into more hands, for more miles and for more member face time than we did.

If anyone has any thoughts on a fall ride or something for next year, don't hesitate to speak up!

[Bankerdanny]

In the pre-9/11 days when crossing back and forth between the US and Canada didn't require a passport the planned route would have been much easier to carry off. Hopefully by next year I have a passport card and another SOHC4 and I will be ready to ride around Huron.

[dave the welder]

Brooze77 thanks a lot ps because it's now international forgery who arrests who?

[magnum56]

Sorry I missed out riding some with you guys this year. 
Neither my bike or schedule would cooperate this time.

Glad you guys were successful geting Lefty where he was headed.

[Kevin D]

Sorry I missed out riding some with you guys this year.

......How is your CB doing?
IIRC you were planning an engine rebuild.

[Kevin D]

Just posted to the calendar. Lots of good MC roads around Stockbridge. I will be riding out in the afternoon. Hope to ride with you or see you there.

OK team MI, I owe a couple of you guys some things, so here goes:

Dave the Welder, you are in the log book as promised.  Because of the rule "pics or it didn't happen" I've attached the proof.  No international forgery was required as after a few of Lefty's favourite libations,  I was able to persuade him to do it, but right handed of course 

Artee, it was a real pleasure meeting up with you & that great original 750F.  I enjoyed our swapping of a few bike stories, you're a class guy & I hope we can meet up again some day (& that I will be riding too!)  Pics of you at the handoff attached.

Finally, after getting Lefty in the car, GPS & I lost the argument about directions when he said "Shut up & follow my tail, assh#*les!)  Seems like he's just as warm and fuzzy as his brother 

[Stev-o]

Great post Brooze...

[dave the welder]

thanks brooze

I thought this would be my year to be a part of the ride. Next year is my year! Next year maybe come through Grand Rapids and up the lake?

Welcome GR!  Hard to say how 2013 will play out, but taking the long road around the state is always Plan A!

Kevin, yeah ... a top end rebuild is in order at a minimum ... unfortunately "real" life has gotten in the way of all my best laid plans this year.

Old School ... just go ahead and start plans for our own "Mitten Tour" !

Keep the shiny side up folks !
