There are alot of members willing to help from the southwest. Looks like getting it moving out west to head up north wont be as big of a problem as we all origionally thought. I started a thread in the southwest section of the forum so yall can check that out as well to stay abrest of things.

A$$less chaps? If chaps had an a$$ they would be leather pants.
Set a date Gamma, just don't make it the same weekend as Bike Week in Pomona.
So I have to wonder why California wants the Mascot. It's been to San Diego, but I don't see any pics of it at the 4 Corner dealer in the SW. While in Washington, we had dealer support at the NW corner, we had well attended meets with signing and it crossed the border into Canada. All this was well documented with pics and map. The Mascot was trapped in "out of the way" Lompoc for the longest time with nobody offering to move it or get together. It's fine that it was in CA while the weather to the north was rough. But, you didn't have any interest shown in the Bay area or Sacramento that would have lead to active Mascot parties while in CA with your year round riding weather. And it could have traveled back to the Southland for more events and it wasn't. Go back to page 36 and read some of the travel history in CA. There were some really great meet and greets.
I say enough of it doing a west of the Mississippi Loop and get it back East.
I had the understanding that California was the necessary evil as there was a member from there going to take it North and then East. I believe it was Owner of Hariet that was gonna get it to Milwaukee and then Sturgis if we got it to him in time. Whatever the case may be, if I can help get it somewhere I will.

iam with the rest if its neccessary then ok but got to remember the mid west, north and east is where it needs to be heading now while its warm in those states and can cover some ground. and make its way south by the end of summer to make it back to the west. If you wait to long then time runs out for riding around ohio, IL, the new england states the middle of the country like the rockies etc. But the mascot can reasonablily travel year around across the southern us thru fla, georgia, miss, texas, az, new mex, cali, utah etc
Right now in my own opinion not that it counts for much but the mascot should travel across the northern us and mid west with a plan to get it back south before winter.
I havnt been able to access the frappr map cause I usually log on at work and it doesnt allow the site. Is there anyone in Colorado that can get it up North if the Green Chili Run crew can get it to them?
On a similar note, would it work out if we set up a route for the mascot to follow? Somehting that eventually gets to all the major areas and gets to everyone that wants to participate? We could get everyone together and set it up 6 months to a year in advance to ensure that work and scheduling issues can be worked out. Just an idea but we could start working on one for next year and whoever is gonna start it off in January, we set a deadline for the mascot to get to them. Do one year of a scheduled "tour" and then a year or two of free for all while we set up the next tour. Just an idea.

If you boys can get it to ohio before july6th i can take it for a trip down to the dragon and blueridge park way. and pass it along.
Skully, if you can get it to the Dragon, I will meet you there and take it to Charlotte where I-85 and I-77 meet. Plenty of members riding both north and south from here.
If someone can get it to me before july 6th i will take it to the dragon with me id love to do it and have no issues with taking it with me. Looks like we may go south after the dragon instead of going up the blue ridge were thinking of going to Tupelo mississippi. Don't ask why lol inside joke. when ever anyone ask us where were heading when were out riding my dad always says tupelo miss. so were going to go there and then follow the mississippi river back north.

I hope you meant..June 6th ????????????.....Mascot seems to still be in North Texas...after being bogged down in Southern Oklahoma...All Winter.... I'm Hip with what you're thinking. I am actually trying to get it to take to New Mexico, Colorado, and 4 Corners Monument with about 20 to 25 other Members....Both being very worthy events.....So let's see what would have to happen to fulfill both dreams??? I agree with some of the other comments that I have read on here...up North during the summer and down south during the winter...when we basically ride year round.... but let's see what develops..ya know kinda like the old Kodak Instamatic...
Safe Riding....cuz I know if you're riding you're happy
