Long shot question:

Does anyone have a spouse, significant other, friend or buddy who will be tagging along in a cage?
The use of support vehicles has always been encouraged! Without them, GZ1 would not have made it from NM to SoCal. I drove Shawn's truck back from Lordsburg, while David provided moral support as well as navigation. We also had support from Seligman, AZ to Joshua Tree, and back to Kingman. Makes for a much nicer ride when you know help is at hand if you ever need it, not to mention it helps to have someone haul the beer, ice, and camping gear. ;D

can we get a head count on who is going?????thanks
I'm in there, gonna take work off friday the 20th, and Monday the 23rd(for recovery, showering, etc.)...so let's try and make these dates work.  B.Danny, pm me if you need any help with accomodations of any sort, as it sounds like you will be the long hauler, even if it is in a mitten shaped circle...

not sure yet, I will have to talk to Danny to see what his thoughts are, when he is getting into MI., etc. ...here is a map that Bruce has beautifully updated with our campgrounds, reservations, rough route, etc.

I will probably peel off for home on day three(Sunday)somewhere around South Haven or Benton Harbor

I'm thinking the same thing Sean, peel off at South Haven or Benton Harbor to head back to Kazoo.

What about the rest?  Does anyone need a place to overnight? Cycle-Moore to Chicago is a long day for Danny as is CM to the East side. 
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.

I will head from Grand Traverse back to Illinois. I will probably stop at my Sister's Sunday, which is 50 miles south of my home. But it depends on what time we get rolling on Sunday.

The lizard is in Ohio. I met up with Tripps in PA and we had a good meal and some good talk. GZ says he wants to rest a couple days and do some light sight seeing around here before heading to Michigan with Artsqu and Dave the Welder. Are we still on for Wednesday? GD is looking forward to seeing you again.

Good to meet you, Becken, hopefully next year we will be a little more organized, and I will have some time to ride out your ways a bit.

I'm probably going to split off somewhere around Manistee and head for home. Gotta be at the Bus Lot at 5am Monday morning.  Maybe we could head out together, Dave.

Great to here that GZ is in Ohio and yes we are still on for Wednesday. I talked to Dave yesterday and we both are going to take a half day off and head your way. Lets plan on meeting at Maumee Park at 3:00 PM ( Ohio ).

Now for all Michigan Riders who are interested in getting GZ here Dave and I will be meeting at the McDonalds on Woodward Ave. 1\4 mile south of 9 Mile at 12:00 PM on wednesday weather permitting. Send me or Dave a pm if you want cell # for coordination. Artsqu.

3:00 it is. I'll tell GZ in the morning. He's sleeping now and you never want to wake up a sleeping monster.

I know what you mean. One year GZ hit me with that dragon breath, it took a year of rehab to recover.
Well time for work will talk with you on Tuesday afternoon.

Sean, I'm still working through my plans, but I will likely come up to KZ on Thursday so that I can ride with you and MJ on Friday, so I will need a place to stay.

So, maybe you and Sean might be meeting me and Dave in Davison?  The Terrible Trio Rides again!

My plan is to stay at my sister's Wednesday night. She lives about 50 miles south of me right near I-80/94, so it will save me about 40 minutes on my trip to KZ. I will work for about half a day and then head out around lunch time. So I should get to KZ mid afternoon.

I'm going to see about getting Eric to give me a tour of his warehouse.

MJ: yes, the Three Amigos back for another ride.

So Bankerdanny will get GZ to Nick in Milwaukee early next week. I am not available until AM on Friday the 27th. Then willing to travel west or north.............but no contacts from Minnesota or others in between. If I have a destination, and the weather is dry, I could travel for a LONG weekend.

I have a lot on my plate for the next week..........so if someone could coordinate, I'll help to deliver the lizard.
