Leaving Florida

[c10]

@mabupa is meeting me for a departing breakfast. I've passed the Hayabusa baton after traveling 2600 miles with it in last 30 days .
We met for dinner on Monday evening and he tried the Tiger for a short go .
FYI my phone camera made my friend look like a cartoon character. He really does not look like a bobble head.

....and here you are teasing @SSGT_B with pie porn....

Bill the baton goes to you after Miguel. Then John 300 miles south of you will get it from you .
He's in Canada also

Sadly it will have to be mailed as I don't (can't) ride that far anymore...

I've made arrangements ahead. You don't have to ride that far

I wished this stuff happened to me when I was almost living on a motorcycle...I used to ride the wheels off these things

The bike should be out late April/early May as long as Mother Nature plays nice...

Miguel trying out the Tiger for 45 miles .

Very wet and cold afternoon.

Rougher day than planned. Cold n wet but polished off 600 miles. From Bradenton Florida to West of Mobile Alabama into Mississippi.
Waffle house dinner!

It was a pleasure finally meeting you in person Bryan @c10! I really enjoyed That short ride on your awesome bike.
@Bumblebee I’ll have to dust off the 2 years worth of spider webs from the busa and put some miles on it with the baton @c10 handed to me and then ship it your way. I’ll let you know when im ready to send it north.

Is the baton being passed in person from one org member to the next; like the Toaster that was mailed?

I don’t think I could pull that off in the busa, but wind would treat me much better hiding behind the Honda Civic windshield size screen on the concours14. Lol! Where in VA is this?

12 hours+ north of Orlando.
Alot of slab.
Not my kind of riding.

I don’t mind the highway so much, even though, is not as entertaining as the backroads. I’ve never done more than 10hrs on the saddle, so it would be a long day. I’m in the Riverview area, so about an hour SW of Orlando.

Rode around with it a while but then just mailed it across the country to @HayaWakened.

Almost needed a thread titled "The Baton and your bike" so we know this is in circulation and on the move...
