World tour
09/02/11 at 12:30:39

The other group I'm getting involved in has a cool event called the world tour. Basically it's a relay tour, pass the baton kind of thing. Haven't actually found what they are passing... they call it godzilla though. Could be a euphanizm for something else or a godzilla figure. They form teams to coordinate hand offs. It's not a race so timing is whatever. No specific route either.

Any one interested?

I would propose ad hoc relay, take it for a ride, perferrably down a road no one's taken it before. Then meet up with another member to hand it off. The route will need to be documented. We can start up a thread for updates.

While it could be a figurine of some sort, I think something hollow for stuffing notes into and plain enough that we could write on or apply stickers to. While I'd rather it not look like a pipe bomb the only thing I can think of is a white PVC pipe w/screw on end caps Ø1.5" x 12" pret near indestructable, big enough to roll up sheets of paper in and white to be written on with sharpe.

Other group? OTHER GROUP!!?? I knew it. You've been on the computer less and less. Then you want a Honda...and ask our blessings. No way Bucko. You leave now, Don't come back! We poured our problems out to you. You acted like our pal. Now we see...we feel so used. You were just waiting for this other group. What makes THEM so special? Just go on. Go on over there. I don't care if you buy a Chinese scotter. Hope you enjoy. Grin

I saw a Honda like yours at a tire store parked in the employee parking. (On the grass) You can't buy antiques in Mississippi....we're still using them. Wink

And now that I see you get 2 babes with every one, I gotta have four. And it's probably the same age as that one too, an official antique. I just hope the babes aren't antique too.

Yeah I thought of him too. And of course what every one wants is cool with me. I was just thinking of the yule log type thing. Writing on it, putting in notes in it's "belly" for the others on it's tour.

Also, there's going to be times when we reach an impass, such as an ocean.
I should be small enough to drop in a cheap box and mailed forward.

It can start from anywhere.
It doesn't ever have to end.
But hopefully it would return to where it started.
Once we decide on the token, it can start.
The one who suggests what the token should be, should be prepared to donate it.
This is a club thing, I feel it should be carried by club members.
But not a hard a fast rule, circumstances will arise.

Versy, I didn't know it was thumper. I thought it was a CB 500-4. For myself the Ascot thumper is the one I would love to have, I think. Have you guys ever heard of Flat Stanley? It's a little cutout of a kid you mail to grandma, friends, cousins, etc in another place and take pictures of him having fun, then mail it back. I did it once for some friends who mailed it to me. Something cut out of a piece of leather could work, but it wouldn't be easy to write on, just easy to carry under your riding clothes. Sounds like ya'll will have a good time.

how about a map .... we could mark the hand-off places with numbers at every handoff .?

or

A Map in a Tube ? What about map '"A" going around the US. and map "B" going around Europe , Map "C" going around Australia ?

At some point the maps can be shipped overseas ?

What if I bought a US map and passed it on to OldFeller (or vice-versa) during our upcomming Sept. ride ? The first "TRADE-OFF" point could be the Dragon Central ?

What do ya think Versie , this is you original idea .

I don't think a map will do, or one map will do.

I would go back the original design of simply a carrier for such a map(s).
add maps as necessary.

And people would be less inclined to log their travels on the site.

It's gonna be important to know who has it or had it last.

And I like the banner idea, nothing but the banner to get lost.

And provides a good size for pictures.

I'd like to get this going so the inaugural run is 9/11

How about it Lukeduck?
