Default WANTED-Members to help keep our Mascot moving

We are moving the Mascot across this great country and need your involvement. Moving it can only be done by motorcycle, and it should be in Ohio within a week or so, needing someone to help it move along to greener pastures, a new locale letting other riders get involved in this longtime tradition.

Pm me if you are interested in doing a handoff and helping keep our mascot moving forward!

Mike, you know I'm always ready to help move the mascot. Where is it heading after ohio? I'm sure no one wants it stuck in the ne for the winter. Let me know how I can be of assistance. .. before the snow flies. I'm sure I can find someone interested in a ride with me to move this baby along and I haven't got to sign the new one yet. Any chance we can get it this way soon to let Chappy sign again? I haven't heard any news of that awesome man and his equally incredible spouse in a long while.

Rene has said he would like to see it move south so it might keep moving over the winter. I have sent pm's to several in Va, WV, Tenn and Ky who have said they want to participate, but only one has responded. I know I want to turn it around asap before winter sets in.....

Hey, I'm in VA and didn't get a PM.

Heck, given enough lead time, it might be worthwhile to do an Ironbutt to move it along.

Let me know if it's within 500 miles of the Chesapeake VA area!

Keep in mind that there are already blizzards out in Sturgis!

I did return glideridemike's PM on 9/30 but haven't heard anymore about it since. I could move it southward to Knoxville on the first leg and then work on getting it further south after that, but probably the earliest I could make the meet-up ride to the likeliest rendezvous point (Lexington, KY) is the weekend of 10/19-10/20. Just let me know if that's what you want to do.

edit: I am west of Knoxville TN and that would move the mascot 379 miles south from Circleville, OH. Most likely meet-up point would be:

Man O'War Harley-Davidson
2073 Bryant Rd
Lexington, KY 40509

That is 192 miles from Circleville and 187 miles from me.

Thanks for chiming in, guys. This gives us two options to keep the Mascot moving.
1st Option could be Glideridemike meeting LeadSSled in Lexington KY;
2nd option could be Glideridemike meeting Mike_M in Charleston WV.

It's up to Glideridemike to decide....

Mike M, I didn't pm you because you were just a bit too far away. Instead I chose, due to distance, backroads-2 in Ky, SandmanWV in WV, hd20122 also in Ky, FatBob11FXDF in Va, 92FLHS in WV and LeadSSled in Tenn. LeadSSled is the only one that has responded even several of those people have been online here since I sent them pm's. I was trying to give them ample time to respond. But MikeM is right, winter is a comin....and where is Charleston, Va? Do you mean WV?

Moderator edit: Charleston WV
