I still have the Mascot, and it needs to head either South or East. I will be glad to meet someone either in Albert Lea Mn or La Crosse Wi this weekend (weather permitting) Saturday is looking like the better of the 2 days - 57 and mostly sunny. Let me know! Mascot needs to MOVE!

I possibly can come get the mascot on Sat if the weather permits. Im in the Chicagoland area and would love to get the mascot moving. I was in the Minneapolis area over the weekend. According to the rules, no other means of transport unless by motorcycle...too bad, I would have flown it on a USAF C-130H.

Appreciate your good intentions!

Riding conditions seem to be OK next week-end...




Enjoy the trip and ride safe!

I am very happy to say that the Mascot has resumed it's journey east! I was able to connect with AJ (dvious141) and his wife at the LaCrosse Area Harley Davidson dealership to hand over the Mascot! Aj and his wife rode up from the Chicago area on his beautiful Street Glide.

Thanks AJ, it was a pleasure meeting the two of you!.

Initial image (3.3MB) was bloating the screen so I had to re-size it to 800X600 pix.

Here's the link to the full scale image.
