Will he clear the border check point without being incarcerated? Will he be smuggled across and become an illegal immigrant? Will he take canada by storm?

Stay tuned for the INTERNATIONAL adventures of our Superstar GODZILLA

It's my understanding that Operator is at the border awaiting the arrival of Big G

Woo-hoo!!! Let's just hope they don't do a body cavity search.

Can he request one?

Stev-o · « **Reply #4 on:** July 02, 2011, 07:49:17 PM »

Isn't he already an illegal alien?! He didn't marry some waitress on the Rally and get a green card?

He ate the waitress and had a green bowel movement.......There will be no cavity search.....

So is Operator still patiently waiting at the border?

Mick, have you started making plans yet to take Godzilla on the south-of-the-equator leg? Start planning, my friend; time has a way of sneaking up on you!

I have to stop buying parts for 3 bikes and concentrate on just one, i will be devastated if i miss this. I would like to ride to Terry's in Melbourne , around 1000 miles one way....

If i don't have a bike built i may have to hire or borrow one...Can we do Europe first......

You should worry Mick, I don't thing "Blondie" can do the whole of NZ on her own.

scottly · « **Reply #11 on:** July 02, 2011, 10:55:24 PM »

It's 74F here right now, but it was 108 earlier today!

What will your weather be like in, say, late Sept.?

Europe first? NOPE! We're gonna finish summer here then it's your turn! Terry has been put on alert. 1000 miles one way - that would include you in the Double Iron Ass Club with me. After your summer it's Europe's summer turn.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2011, 11:08:26 PM »

I have relatives in Perth but have never been there, it would be around 6300 miles round trip...Is there a titanium butt...

I think Melbourne is far enough but you never know.....

scottly · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2011, 11:09:28 PM »

So just when is G supposed to get to the North-West US/Canada?

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2011, 11:19:58 PM »

My hope has been to get there/finish by our Labor Day. That would give us ~6 months. Not sure how it'll finish up. All up to the riders.

scottly · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2011, 11:29:47 PM »

Mick, with the vast distances across OZ, and the lack of riders, no one expects you guys to cover it all. We ALL hope the lizard gets to spend some time with you blokes, and soon at that.

Stev-o · « **Reply #18 on:** July 03, 2011, 06:02:29 AM »

C'mon Mick, we're rooting for ya! Get wrenching!!!

Tintop · « **Reply #19 on:** July 03, 2011, 09:07:45 AM »

No problem crossing the boarder, he just has to declare refugee status, like everyone else.

Hush · « **Reply #20 on:** July 04, 2011, 12:29:07 AM »

Hmm maybe we could do an across New Zealand, I was thinking top to bottom but with the shortage of riders that doesn't seem feasible.
It's like mid winter here now, -3 frost this morning and didn't lift until afternoon brrrrrrr.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #21 on:** July 04, 2011, 08:24:15 AM »

Anyone seen the whereabouts of that crazy damn lizard?

Well, my next international question would be: New Zealand or OZ first?

I'd like to see Godzilla do both. I wouldn't expect you guys would be able to do the entire countries like we're doing in the States. So it would be up to you guys to formulate a plan, enlist riders and ride what is possible. You'd have your entire summer to see how much ground you could cover before shipping GZ to Europe.

Hush · « **Reply #22 on:** July 04, 2011, 09:44:08 AM »

Geeting my thinking cap on Gerry, our summer won't start until November, though October isn't too bad usually. Biggest problem is the distances between known SOHC4 owners/riders.

Don R · « **Reply #23 on:** July 04, 2011, 09:54:38 AM »

Maybe GZ could do some local area rides in Oz and ride UPS to the next area. Not as cool as on a 750 but do able.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #24 on:** July 04, 2011, 01:56:20 PM »

There's a SOHC club in Victoria that is reasonably big and well organised and has members in most states, maybe we should send them an invite for the ride.....I'll look them up....

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #25 on:** July 04, 2011, 03:37:58 PM »

Don has a valid idea considering the vast distances and minimal number of riders. We'll leave it in your hands to make it happen. I've often said there are 2 unofficial rules: have fun and only a SOHC4 may carry Godzilla. I have never brought up Brown but believe me there has been a Plan B in the back of my mind should the need arise.

Now with all that said there have been a handful of us riding over 1000 miles already with one rider whom I will not name breaking the 2000 mile barrier. I really need some company on that list

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #26 on:** July 04, 2011, 03:39:02 PM »

Yessssss! Way to ride Operator

Another day's ride would get me over 2000. But if the relay is back to here around Labor Day, I'm going to have a conflict.

Hush · « **Reply #28 on:** July 05, 2011, 12:44:42 AM »

Yes I have been thinking about this today Jerry, it may be that I can get GZ couriered around NZ to get some kiwi miles in. If that is allowable I think we are onto a winner, now I just need to hook up some far flung riders, Scunny, Fishman Phil, Toycollector and a few others.
What sort of time frame do you envisage for GZ to get into the lower Pacific area?

Radam · « **Reply #29 on:** July 05, 2011, 06:15:46 AM »

I'm still waiting to see if my wife gets the job in Oz that she applied for. If so, GZ can ride with my bike across the ocean, or I can take him on the plane. We thought we'd find out about the job last week, but still no word. Maybe today? If she gets it, I think we'll be headed there around the end of September or beginning of October.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #30 on:** July 05, 2011, 08:52:57 AM »

Radam,

That would be just too perfect.

Hush,

Expecting/hoping to be completed here around 9/1 MAYBE. August is kinda unknown at this stage. GZ has slowed somewhat but he's on a roll. We have a good mix of weekday riders and weekend riders but he slows down if no one is able to ride during the week. I haven't looked ahead to see the schedule of Team Northern and the trek across central Canada along with the ensueing handoff to Team Pacific Northwest. Looking too far ahead is counter productive to a point.

OldSchool_IsCool · « **Reply #31 on:** July 05, 2011, 11:23:00 AM »

Would it make sense for Godzilla '11 and Godzilla '12 to ride together in the Southern Hemishear? in other words, should The World Tour 2012 start down under?

scottly · « **Reply #32 on:** July 06, 2011, 07:23:07 PM »

Looks like the lizard has logged 11,000+ miles so far!!!
