If PZ(GZ3.0) or GZ1.0 went to BC then FunJimmy could meet him and hand off and then the tag could start down the left coast back to Mooshie. But, I think there are some riders up near Erik who expect to see PZ.
Whispering - The northern riders don't have a lot of riding season left in warm weather so, they need to get on it when he arrives, regardless of conditions.

Have fun on the Salts! Stay safe. Don't let those blue and red bubble machines on top of some vehicles or inside them take your hard earned cash.

David:  I would totally do that.  I was planning a Canada trip (on the Ducati though) but that got canceled.  I know Fun Jimmy drops into Oregon (fun fact about him--he likes Pop Tarts  ??? and they don't sell them in Canada) so we can coordinate an exchange and I can get PZ or GZ or both to the San Francisco group.  Lets get them on the road again.  Lots of riding time left in California!
I don't know if I can make the Salt Flats.  Have weekend work trainings going on that I have to be at (hosting) so that doesn't seem like it will work.  But like Ofreen I may be able to swing it.

PimpZilla and the log book are now both in my possession.  Thanks Mooshie and Evanphi!

I've got some time this week to meet up with someone to get this relay going again.
Updates???

He was shipped to the East Coast I think. I shipped him to Canada after he rode with me around CA, AZ, NM and CO.  Now he is in hiding somewhere.

I think that we might want to give future GZ a GPS where am I tracker he can push the button to let everyone track his progress.  Some trekking folks and outdoorsmen traveling great distances use them. They can give peace of mind to family and friends.  Website tracks them and can show progress. Sean from Ireland used one on his trip from alaska to south America and then back through Africa on his C90.

Sorry guys.  Got crazy busy with work the week after I got the journal and had a scheduled vacation last week.  I ended up handing PZ and the book off to artsqu last week in an attempt to keep PZ moving.

First day back to civilization.  Was hoping to see that PZ was on the road again....

According to his profile he was last active here on the forum back on July 24th. I've sent a P.M. hoping that he receives e-mail notifications about forum messages, but if you have other contact info you might want to reach out as well.

We continue to look for PZ in Wisconsin................but now the trip to Bonneville is CANCELLED. The BMST event has been cancelled due to poor salt conditions. Keep me informed about when we may expect PZ..........and if other riders want to carry him into Iowa or Minnesota.

I think it's been a while since a 'zilla has had a proper rampage through the PNW, so now may be the time to start planning for it before the weather turns cold. Let's put a date of 9-1 as the start of the PNW leg? You guys in the East need to have your way with PZ and send him on to Greg by then. If Mooshie shows up at any point on a Duc, and there are no SOHCs available, she can give PZ a ride, Italian style. ;)

Yes, yes, and yes.  PZ won't ride on my Ducati Scott, he made that quite clear when he was visiting for a couple of months.  Dash is ready to roll with his new front brake stopping power.  Lets get PZover to this side of the universe and meet up.  Greg, Scott, lets make this happen...

I can get some time off in September except for part of the third week, so should be able to make a decent ride of it.  All the 750 needs is an oil change and a new rear tire, which I already have on hand. Mooshie, how much time will you have to ride? I know distance is otherwise no barrier to you.

8/22/2015 Return of Godzilla
 After a long hiatus, Godzilla was spotted today doing what he likes best: riding on an SOHC4. He was seen with Dave the Welder, Artsqu, and Kevin D, riding through the Michigan countryside on a glorious summer day. He got 100+ miles in passing through Northville, Whitmore Lake, Strawberry Lake road, North Territorial road, Huron River Drive, Pontiac Trail and Plymouth. He especially liked the whoopers on Hankerd road and lunch at the Dam Site Inn in Hell.
 Zilla is with Dave the Welder and is expected to travel with Dave and MJStone to meet with Sean Barney in Kalamazoo before leaving for Wisconsin and beyond.

1) Dave, Kevin, Zilla, Art
2) Zilla perched where he likes it best
3) No no no, don't gimme no VTwin, no cruiser, its SOHC4 for me
4) Art keeping a short leash on Godzilla
