Hi Holger,

Thanks for posting those vids. I never imagined that that many 1300's could be assembled in one place. Very humbling considering the chances of even coming close to that sort of rally here in North America.

I did recently participate in flag relay that's still going on in North America. It was organized by some members of KZrider.com. I carried the flag from Bend, Oregon to Carson, WA, about 165 miles. So far the flag has been to most of the United States with two loops into Canada. Unfortunately the flag seems to be stuck in Seattle, WA for the winter. To this point the flag has been handed off to several hundred riders, All on KZ's. I believe that mine was the only Kawasaki Six to participate in the whole relay.

Here's a video of my ride back to Bend after making the hand off in Carson.



There's some momentum building for a KZ rally in the Four Corners area of the USA next Spring/Summer. I'll post updates of the plans as they unfold.

Hi Bill

interesting concept to carry the flag, something I have never heard of her ein Europe. Indeed the video has been shot on the biggest rally I have been so far, there have been around 70 KZ1300 from 8 nations. The location itself is placed in the mid of Germany as well as in the mid of central Europe which helped to gather that many people.

regards,

Holger
