OK Riders, step up to the plate. Time to formulate a REAL team and make Teams 1, 2 and 3 look bad

. No hosers. No posers. We need riders.

Whoever thinks they can contribute it's time to start stepping up and let's work on it.

As usual we have a lot of miles to cover. Not sure how we're going to pull it off but we've done it in the past. Long distance riders and short distance riders, as long as you P A R T I C I P A T E.

From what I can tell Team 3 will be riding to Winnemucca, NV so far. They are always welcome to press onwards. The time frame may have Team 3 handing off early May.

(WY??, NE??, ~~OK??~~ ) Why'd I do this? Way too much territory!! Considering we're never sure if there may be riders in those states or perhaps they may wish to join our group we'd still like to cover as many states as SOHC4'ingly possible. Just another crazy thought. May be something we could consider if necessary IF WE HAVE RIDERS and if they want to take a diversion

.

I know we have a core group of riders in Colorado but we still need to cover NV, UT, and KS. If there are no participants in other states along the way they will miss out and possibly leave some states unridden. That's just the way it is. Let's not let this happen, let's ride!

WHO'S IN??

Will this team include MO?

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #2 on:** February 27, 2013, 08:41:06 PM »

It could but KS/MO had been the handoff point. Was in 2011 anyway, what happened there last year guys? I was totally involved in our initial assault but very limited last year. Team 4 has maybe 2000 miles west to east already. That's a lot of territory. DonR has handled that territory previously. Not sure how it's going to happen this year. One team at a time. Are you ready to rally the troops for Team 5? Can't be too soon!

Let's get something going. Roundup participants. Get ideas. Get in touch with DonR. ETC. It's wide open. It's YOUR ride. Do what you guys want. The main unknown for the next team is when?? Scottly and Wilbur probably have the best idea of a timeline.

TEAM 3 is on FIRE!

Don't get too cocky, gold. We still have only a few riders to get GZ from TX to you.

I should be free from April first onward. I am in Burlington but am always up for an excuse to get out of town

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #6 on:** March 01, 2013, 08:44:12 PM »

Burlington, TN or Boreington, CO??! I'm in Burlington, CO right now?!!

purf_man · « **Reply #7 on:** March 01, 2013, 09:08:11 PM »

Burlington, KS right now...

Dayton, TN in a month or so....well for a week at least

My bike goes into the garage today to have the swingarm pulled off. On Tuesday I'll be dropping it off with HondaMan in Denver for a rebuild and buying his ignition and fuse block to install. I also hope to get new chain and sprokets installed soon. None of these things should be too involved so I think my bike will be in good shape to go.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #9 on:** March 03, 2013, 10:50:14 AM »

When you're up in Denver talk Mark into riding too

Let me know if you need a hand.

K5 Keith · « **Reply #10 on:** March 03, 2013, 04:30:56 PM »

I'll definately ask if Mark will be able to ride with the rally. I'll ask about OBR too.

last year I road from Van Buren AR to Tulsa to meet up with TaxiScooter and Zeek and we then to GZ to a little bike rally in KS (can't remember the city) and then me and weston went to NE he then carried the torch to CO. I had already picked up MO on my way home from TN cause there were no riders in KY and MO so I covered those two states heading out from picking up GZ in Nashville.

If we don't get riders in MS and LA I am considering a run to Birmingham then to MS and LA and back home. then picking up Zeek Taxi and anyone else that wants to head through OK and maybe LA in to TX to meet up with Austin group.

That city was Marquette, coke! Just outside of Lindsborg KS (aka "Little Sweden")

Hey Coke and Eydugstr ....... Marquette rally this year is Saturday May 18th 2013.
Was a blast last year and maybe we could work it in this year also.

Hey coke, take a look at the latest version of the map that combines team1 and team 2, plus you guys. What do you think?

deafanddiabetc · « **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2013, 12:05:11 AM »

Would love to help be a part of this action. My friend Wes ran it last year from Colorado through Nebraska.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2013, 11:01:22 AM »

It would be great to have you as part of this. Looks like we'll be heading west to east this year. At this point there is NOTHING definite except the west to east part which is why is added (WY??, NE??) to the thread title. Anything east of CO is fair game as long as we have willing riders. We want to cover as many states as possible with as many riders as possible. If the states get overlapped on the return westward then that's fine, at least they got covered. Where are you and how much riding can you do?

Our first impasse is Team 4's beginning - getting from CA across the low populated high desert areas of NV and UT which have maybe NO SOHC4 guys. There may be a few UT guys out there and I certainly hope so. Ofreen puts some serious miles on his bike and he's from out of area ID. GZ v1.0 we had to brave the snowing frozen 20 degree Continental Divide on 40 year old bikes to meet him south of Salt Lake City to make this a success. Don't know that anyone can do that again.

It was great meeting up and riding with Wes and ____ (I forgot his riding partner's name - Bong?) and his lady. Super nice guys and great riders. Are they available this year? Terry/CB650 is farther northeast of Denver now. Perhaps we could go through there, into the SE corner of WY then NE and cut back into KS. Maybe stop at Motorcycle Classics in Topeka again then to KC? We didn't have any western KS riders so us CO guys meet up with KC guys in western KS anmd rode to Topeka. I did 2400 miles over 2 weekends. While I love to ride I don't know how much I can do. If it's warm enough I'd be open for a camping meetup trip in the mountains even. Say, the western CO riders pull in then the Denver and Co Springs guys pull in and the NE guys also.

I know Ofreen is on standby awaiting the progression of GZ. We have/had a couple western CO riders. There are a few 'usually willing' Denver area riders, Craig, Paul, Hondaman perhaps, Theofam, and others plus a couple Co Springs guys. There was JamesB in Topeka and Pinhead and Eydugstr near KC. Lets start networking and see who the 'potentials' are.

Anyone want to ride?

I'll definately ask if Mark will be able to ride with the rally. I'll ask about OBR too.

OBR is still on from what Bob told me last year he is doing it again.
Bob just moved to the Springs on Friday. I saw him at First Thursday.

I have a run here in CO mid June then off to Anacortes WA in mid aug.
I hope I can squeeze some run time in.

Wouldn't be the same without you

Heff and Gordo are gone.

What the hell is Bob doing down here? And when is OBR?

OBR is weekend after mothers day. probably the weekend of the 18th.

Pinhead · « **Reply #21 on:** March 15, 2013, 07:50:19 PM »

I'm in central KS now. I'm definitely up for joining the rally again!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #22 on:** March 15, 2013, 08:03:11 PM »

Excellent. Where are you? Please go to the 2013 list etc and sign up so you can get pinned on the map. Might need to PM goldarrow too. Who else are we dragging into this? Get the word out. Probably a little later than 2011??

Initial thoughts are: west to east ; Denver to nip WY and into NB then head south into KS. Some NB interest so that'd work. Nothing in stone, just thinking out loud and ALWAYS subject to modification.

Hoping we can cross paths again! I still have work to do on the bike before it goes very far.

Well if I can throttle that last charging system gremlin bouncing around in the 650 I should be in. I am in Lehi which is like 20 mins south of Salt Lake City. I met up with Proto in Evanston Wyoming last year on a Friday then did a turn and burn and met up with Ofreen on that Saturday at the Utah Idaho border. So I can do like a hundo to 200 a day.

Plus I have to have more buddies along this time the wife had to rescue me last year when the 650 died on me. I was riding solo and she was pissed but I was able to talk her down as long as I can get some wingmen (or wingwomen). If I have enough time I should be able to get some local folks but I don't know if there is anyone but me with a live bike in Utah. Lostmykeys is close to me but last I heard he is working on his bike I will message him and see if he is in.

I'd love to tag along for some portion of the Utah/Colorado/Wyoming? route. My ride is DOHC not SOHC so I couldn't officially haul Godzilla but I sure enjoyed the last ride with everyone. I see I'm pinned on the map so count me in for ride along support
