Hey gang
I have the Guinness bottle here in Nelson B.C. and have tried about 6 different e-mail addresses in the Vancouver area to bring the bottle to but no one has answered my e-mails. If there is someone in the Seattle or Oregon area that I could send the bottle to that would be great. Riding season up here is coming to an end soon and the bottle should really head south for the Fall and Winter. Let me know who's interested.
Cheers
Brendan in Ymir B.C.

Count me in. I'm close to Seattle. Let's see if we can get some riders between Seattle and B.C, to move it on down. Otherwise, e-mail me about sending it down.
Cheers

Hey Brendan,

How close to Sumas can you get? If nobody else can do it, I'll pick it up there. Oh--try Lance. He's "[email protected]" and involved with the calendar--like he'd doing most of the actual work...maybe he'd like a little ride on his Spitfire.

Did you try 441cafeSteve in Vancouver?

Details, details. The Devil is in the details!

I'm pretty booked up with work and band shows for the next 2 weeks. My bike turns into a pumpkin on Oct 9th too. I've got a show in Las Vegas on Oct. 7th and will be flying out of Vancouver on the 6th so I will be down that way though not on my Beezer. Yeah Barb I did try 441cafeSteve but he never got back to me via e-mail.
Cheers

Hey Brendan

Bob Gambarelli rides BSA and lives in Las Vegas

Hi Steve,

Brendan is sending the bottle to me---if he already has, and if you want to carry it, I'll arrange to get it to the border at the Peace Arch (or Sumas) and you can carry it as far south as you like. How's that?

If he has not sent it yet, let's try to get hold of him and have him hand it off to you, and one of us down here will meet you at the border.

Either way, if you want to put miles on it, we'll make sure you get to. If nothing else, I'll call you if it shows up at my door, and give you the option.

Thanks for checking in....

I'm going to be meeting with some OVM guys on Saturday the 16th. Our constituency covers people from the Pugent Sound area South to Ashland, OR.
I'll see if I can find anyone in the Northern half of the state to hand that off to.
I'm certainly prepared to run it through the Southern Willamette Valley.
We might be able to get it to California before winter sets in hard.

Hey folks, I got an email from Brendan and he has the bottle still. We may have it sent here so I can get to either the Peace arch (photo op) or Blaine etc if the timing is tough. I can take a day any time next week to start the ride south so this may be our window if the rain does'nt get to heavy. I'll ride if it is misty or overcast but no day after tommorow torrents please the 441 lost it's water wings last week. LOL! any further I would need a couch to crash on and perhaps a wrench or two.

Hi Guys,

Hey Steve, if Brendan can send the Bottle to you instead of me, that would be great! If I can't meet you at the border, I can arrange for someone to be there, so we can get it headed south! And obviously Carlo has his troops at high alert and will get the thing to the California border. From there it's---up to someone from California. We have long-standing people there. Time for them to step up to the plate.

Oh boy--the West Coast leg is about to begin in earnest! Yummy Guinness wandering down the most beautiful country in the States (go ahead, guys. Kill me now....)
:bigt:

To all concerned!

Barb & Britney

I have emailed Brendan I'm ready, he is busy with band stuff but once it's here I'll bring it down. Just dialed the bike after a bit of gearbox service.
Steve

Hey Barb, the bottle should be here by the weekend. I'll post up a "shout out" when I have it in hand and all is ready to see how far south I get. I'll get the bolts all nugged on the bike this week.
Steve

Hey Steve
The bottle is officially heading your way. Have a great time with it and take a bunch of pics with it.
Cheers
Brendan

Hey Guys and Gals has anyone posted any pics latly? I would really like to read the Journal I bet it is a real kick.. :bigt:

Cheers everyone :g: :g: :g:

Mike Carter

Hey Barb, the actual bottle of wine need to be right here because of the weekend. I will write-up up the "shout out" as i contain it in hand as well as most is ready to observe how much to the south We receive. I will find the bolts most nugged within the bicycle that 7 days.

So where exactly did the famous bottle end up?

Paul, The bottle is now in BritBike museum and it happen that it goes touring. Last time was in Holland for BSA int rally 2017. it was in Italy 2016 Denmark 2015 and it goes back to BSA OC rally in Brimfield Mass 2006 where I picked it up from Lannis.

It goes back in 2006?

Have you got a Tardis?

No it goes back to 2002 when Ron Halem bought the bottle on IOM.
What is a tardis?

A tardis is a time machine.
Dr Who travels around the universe in it.
Sc-fi hero.

It could make it very tricky keeping track of the bottle ?
