We are moving the Mascot and need your involvement. Moving it can only be done by motorcycle, and it's here in south central Ohio, needing someone to help it move along to greener pastures, a new locale letting other riders get involved in this longtime tradition. We want to see it move southward so it might keep moving throughout the winter and visit all the southern states.

Pm me if you are interested in doing a handoff and helping keep our mascot moving forward! I can get down as far as Lexington Ky (Man of War Harley) or Huntington, WV (Charlie's Harley Davidson), or a radius of about that distance where we could do a handoff.

 

I can pick it up in maysville ky.and get it as far as wildcat hd (london ky) if that will help,tell me where and when

 

Thanks for chiming in, Jay.

I added your offer as an optional stage to the Planning Map.

Please be so kind to check this thread to make some arrangements:

WANTED-Members to help keep our Mascot moving

 

How about this Saturday? Say 1pm.

 

I was contacted by Ohioskully about possibly picking it up down in Ky after the handoff to backroads. Ohioskully is out of Knoxville, Tenn.

 

sounds good to me , applebee's on "AA"(KY 9) ok with you?

 

I was thinking more like downtown along the river, but you know the area better than me. It might more toward 1:30 or 2......that looks to be about 2 1/2 hrs from me staying on the main roads.

 

Currently (10-22-2013) the Mascot resides wit forum member LeadSSled in the Knoxville TN area.



If interested to get involved in the Mascot's travels and help it move South, please let us know in this thread:

I'm in Athens, AL if I can help.

No "plan" yet, just trying to identify the options. Honestly, I was hoping to find a willing contact somewhere southeast of Knoxville - on the other side of the Smoky Mountains. But that is driven only by my motivation to get iconic photos with Dale Walksler at the Wheels Through Time museum in Maggie Valley during the next hand-off. I also have promised to try to get photos with the mascot at the Tree of Shame at Deal's Gap/Tail of the Dragon. If the hand-off was at WTT, I could do that on the way over there in one trip. If the mascot goes a different direction, then I would have to make a separate trip to get those photos. But for that master plan to happen, I need a willing partner on the other side of the mountain. There has been zero response from that direction yet.

We are supposed to be cold Wed-Fri and then it warms again here in Knoxville. Forecast is for a high of 62 again by Sunday. I am out out town Friday until Saturday afternoon, so the soonest I could do ianything would be Sunday anyway. But, I would not have time for TOD pics before heading out if that is hand-off day. The following weekend, I am out of town Friday-Sunday, so that weekend is out for me. I would have to do something the following weekend or sometime during the week.

Let's see what options present themselves over the next day or so and then start putting a plan together.
