I'm on the map, thanks for stepping up and making it possible.

If we start in the north, they can go as soon as the weather permits. The farther south we get, the longer the riding season is. We would be able to keep it going through the late fall and winter if we end up in the south. Who says anything about going in a straight line anyway, it's not like there is a time limit.

Here is another idea I have that would keep the forum from being clogged. How about we start a 109 blog to record progress and post pictures, maybe sticky a thread here linking to it. We could still do it on the forum too, but a blog could be just of the relay and would be permanent.

I have no idea what to use for the baton. It would have to be something that can take some abuse. It could just be posts made somewhere and nothing material.

I'm seeing a lot of good suggestions, anything that several people agree on should just be put into working order here.

Can't wait to see the map filled in!

ON THE MAP AND READY TO RIDE, JUST ASK FOR SOME NOTICE IN ADVANCE TO GET OFF OF WORK THE DAYS NEEDED!!!

Why not just keep it simple?

Someone start it and ride it to someone within whatever distance you want to drive it. Then that person or persons take it to the next place, could be north,south whatever just contact someone on here, near or far and take it to them. Take a picture put it on the thread and then put the dot on the map of where it's been. The neat part would be watching where it went. There would be no way that you could plan that route. If you are tying a charity to it then I would recommend a smaller national charity that doesn't get a whole lot of media attention or big sponsors already. That way we can make a bigger impact. At one of the Vegas meets I think it was Doberman that did this but they collected the hotel's used toiletries (Shampoos, Conditioner, Soaps,, etc) because veterans were not being provided these at all VA hospitals or something like that. Why not put money towards that smaller charity or something like it for kids or Soldier/veterans? That would be someplace that more feel our giving.

Don't over think this or it will get too complicated and no one will do it. Just take it from one guy/guys and to the next. It's a walk of faith and trust. The guy who currently has it decides where it goes within 1-3 days. Simple as that. That way it forces people to get to know others on the board and where they are from.

Be sure to print it on Card Stock paper and put it in a tube!

Now, get her going!

On the map and ready to roll - cool and wet today

a big thanks to Dave for coming up with this idea.

As for Baton it would be nice to have it pass from place to place to country to country and over the continent. We could run few at same time but then each one will have a baton ( not a bad deal ) but then it gets limited. Or we could come up with 3-4 different batons and name them East West North South or Ozy, Brit etc. But if we stick with one it makes it that much nicer and unique.


Maybe a small Book for signatures and a wooden roll. Just small enough to roll into a jacket sort of thing.

We can say PAY IT FORWARD is going it may be slow at times but its moving. Hell withthe love for riding peeps have here i think we will add some serious mileage on this.


I thank you Dave for allowing me to start this from north that is such a kind gesture of you. Ill pass it on to great Nemo down to US to continue its journey down south and away. If all is good i am looking for something that is unique in cyclindrical form.


Will post as soon as i get something if i cant find anything i will carve out a wood stick with Joe's 109r logo.

I'm on...gotta represent the NE corner. Hope a few others join in!
