I am trying to pick up the pace on my 550 build. Hopefully I will be able to join you this year.

Hello Dave

Count me in for this years ride. I have been following the lizard and I believe that he is out of Texas on his way over to New Mexico to devour some Gila lizards. Team 4 has the lizard.
Bike is ready for some serious miles. How's your 750A. Give me a shout out. Took a ride to Hell during the week with stops all over the place.

Don't think I'll be able to do much this year.  Daughter is graduating from college and the trip to Colorado to see it happen is going to eat up my vacation and my cash.  Gotta hold what's left in reserve depending on how contract negotiations go at work.

Tagging up on this thread just in case.
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

If GZ is coming from east to west in northern Ohio, I'm in the best spot to transfer to Michigan.  There's some guys in Cleveland, and I thought there was as guy in Sandusky, which is about halfway between me and Cleveland.  I'm about 50 mins south of the D, but I thought there were some Ypsi guys, so handing off with them is prob how I'd like to go.  But just lemme know!  Gathering a huge posse would be awesome too :) :)

Try and get a projected date as soon as possible so I can set aside the time on my calendar and reserve the vacation days.

Hmmm. I would be willing to drive a distance if the hand off was needed. Of course I would have to make my schedule work.

Yes, it is up to YOU, the riders, to decide where and when to ride. ;) I'm not sure why Michigan needs it's own team thread, when it's in the middle of team 6??

It's a leftover structure from R's 1 and 2 where Michigan was it's own section.

I should be able to make sure that GZ gets from Michigan to Wisconsin. Hopefully via the 550, but the GoldWing if not.

I'm in if my schedule will allow.  I'm driving a summer school route that starts on July 22 and ends on August 22.  Its Monday thru Thursday, so that gives me 3 day weekends if it falls in around that time.
