Sounds like the dates may work out for me. Jerry, Paddy is fully assembled, but he is running VERY lean (I burned my head and cylinder gold again by charring my fresh paint on a 12-mile break-in ride).  So, if I can get the jetting/problem fixed, I should be good on/after the 24th.

I don't have a sidecar, Jerry, but we can ride "nuts to butts" if push comes to shove!

Sorry to hear about the Fat Boy. I sold my '99 FLSTF of 13 years two years ago - one of the biggest regrets I have.

Any time frame on when this is going through KS?  There's no way my Honda will be ready, but depending on the date might be able to do some riding.

Jerry - get healed up soon Rxman! But please stop all this "blame the squid" nonsense, come to jesus and admit that you flashed the unprepared sportbike rider as he came around the corner.  (Just kidding.  Get well soon.)

Didn't flash him as he was just a red flash coming at me. I did flash a group of restored KZ's at Deals Gap with my SOHC4 Levi jacket  ;) About 10 damn nice bikes.  ;)

You get healed up soon, Rxman!  Any pics to share of the KZ's?

Any word on a time frame yet?

Only took one Z pix. Dixn't want anyone to think I was impressed. I was!  Pic wazn't that good. I posted it in the KZ topic. 

I have no idea about GZ. Ofreen is working on it now. There was a hitch in his connection.

Dave Voss in Cali had bike probs and delayed Ofreen picking up GZ by one week. He will pick it up next Saturday and then we will get him rolling again :)

I was able to get the engine running correctly over the weekend, however the overheating from last week has caused the head gasket to begin leaking a lot of oil, and it is not fit for any distance riding until replaced, which I won't have time to do for several more weeks, so I'm going to have to box and ship GZ to the next participant.  Greg, if that is still you, please give me a shipping address and I'll forward GZ tomorrow.  Sorry for the delay, I was really looking forward to the ride from Napa, CA to Fernley, NV but it's just not working out.

Dave I am really sorry to hear about your troubles! That's never fun :(

Greg when you say next weekend do you mean the 15th as we originally hoped or the 22nd?

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!  Matt may be available to ride GZ to Nevada after all, I've asked that he and Greg coordinate to firm this up before this afternoon, so that I'll know whether to box and ship, or hold for pickup.

Josh - I am thinking this coming Sunday, the 16th. I'm thinking pick up GZ III on Friday from where ever Matt has him stashed, back to the house on Saturday (or maybe head over to Elko and up past Wildhorse Reservoir into Idaho), and meet up with you on Sunday, then back to the barn.  Unfortunately, if I don't get it done this weekend, I'll be tied up for the next two weeks.  My wife is getting her knee whittled on, so I'll need to be around the house.

Let me know what works for you.

DaSchwartz and I will deliver GZ to Fernley tomorrow. The plan is to leave him at Motorcycle Mania for later pick up.

The 19,20 and 21st I will take GZ III through Yellowstone, grand Teton national park, Jackson hole and then to lava hot springs where I will hand off to Boyd. He will then meet up with Curemode in Utah. I think they are still working out the timing on that part.

I have been in contact with curemode via p.m.  Just waiting to work out final details.  I will post our plans once they are set.

I think no matter what G needs to swing by and DR up Jerry.  Sink some teeth into squid and wash them down with beer. ;D

Boyd (EnvinoVeritas) is passing off to me on the 29th I was hoping to do it the 22nd but when Dave broke I had to tell the other guys riding with me and we got pushed out to the 29th. Dave (Proto) and I are bouncing a couple of ideas around and should have something figured out pretty soon.

Hell yeah! Garage party. Plenty of room for an overnight. Looks like it's almost time for the Front Range riders. K5 Keith is here in the Springs. Hello Denver area guys..

What about our Nebraska guys? If they are still on board can CB650 and Paul link up with them then move GZ into Kansas via Pinhead and Eydugstr?

Ive stocked up on the bourbon since I hear that's GZ's drink and he's going to be with me a few days. He's going to be quite the sensation in rural Idaho I tell ya, with his hat and cane!

It'll depend on the date for me.  Beginning in July I'll get slammed at work.  But don't forget about Newboots or Sixgunrattlesnake.
