Met up with Rob “MMCMSW” in Newton Iowa after traveling with the flag from Bryce Canyon Utah through Grand Escalante, Arches National Park and the Rockies. The ride is the prettiest
I’ve ever seen, and my time with the flag, short lived but well worth it.

June 12, 2012
Met with SGT Rob in Newton Iowa. Escorted SGT ROB to the Illinois border and proceeded to Port Byron Illinois. Spent a month taking the flag with the help of JRMAC (Jim) to the “Field of Dreams”, Balltown, Iowa and Elizabeth ,IL. These destinations would be visited by members attending SWII.
On July 17, 2012, I presented the flag to the Sharkweek attendees.EXAMMO was designated to carry the flag but had military duties, so I, JRMAC took the flag to the STURGIS RALLY. We visited Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower and downtown Sturgis.
The flag visited IL, WI, MN, SD, WY and MO while I had it. Passed the flag to EXAMMO on August 11, 2012 at Wieblers Harley Davidson in Davenport Iowa.

I received the flag from Rob (MMCMSW) at Wieblers Harley Davidson in Davenport Iowa. I was there to have a gas tank put on that Rob gave to me. We hung out for a little bit and had lunch at the dealership. I brought the flag back home to Omaha, after stopping at the “Freedom Rock” for a photo opportunity.

August 17, 2012
I met Dean (CNIDOG) and AKWOLF (?) at Dillons Harley Davidsonto share the flag. I wasn’t prepared to hand off the flag at that time. I had been trying to work with non-point to hand it off. My plan fell through.

August 27, 2012
I met with Dean at Holsteins Harley Davidson to pass the flag. I had to be there to
Load my bike up in my truck to make my trip to California. Thanks for bearing the burden for me Dean!

1830 hrs
I, Dean Cook “CNIDOG” rec’d the Roadglide.org official flag from “Exxamo” - Jeremy. There was a slight change of plans from the previous entry as Exxamo forgot about me meeting him at the dealership so he called me and changed the meet to his home. Luckily we only live a few miles apart so it was definitely on my way. This was the 3rd time Jeremy and I had been in the same place with the flag. 1st @ SWII, but neither of us remember meeting each other.2nd, the 17th of August at Dillon Brothers Harley Davidson Anniversary Bash - We talked a couple of hours and 3rd Today at Jeremy’s home. He showed me the “secret”of the flag, introduced me to his youngest daughter, we enjoyed a couple of Summer Shandy brews and had a picture taken for the official handoff. I won’t be keeping the flag long (I hope). As I’m scheduled to have surgery on September 14 and I will probably be down for a few weeks during recovery. If that doesn’t work I have a backup plan (no need to waste space on it). It was definitely an unexpected honor to receive the flag today.
Until next time.

Today I will be riding over to Stuart Iowa to hand the flag off to a new member, bigdoug1130 (Doug). Doug had just 7 posts on the forum when he stepped on the gas to volunteer to take the flag. Outstanding! Look forward to meeting Doug and sharing the secret. Gene (AKAWOLF) is scheduled to ride over with me as well. We’ll travel Highway 44 (supposed to be one of Iowa’s best roads) and slab it back to Omaha.
Dean Cook - CNIDOG

Had the flag for two weeks. Went on a few trips, took the flag to Indianola, IA. Rt 65 Harley Davidson talked to some Road Glide owners, none members (Yet), Normally wouldn’t do that.

We will be meeting in Quincy, IL on Saturday September 15. Haven't been a member too long but I'm looking forward to meeting more members. It’s been an honor watching over the flag

I received the flag from BigDoug1130 today at TNT Harley-Davidson. The 1130 in Big Doug’s name is his birthday.SIKK1 was also there with his fantastic Road Glide. Afterwards we went to lunch at Kelly’s in Quincy. Great Food, great place to eat. After lunch I rode with Doug and his wife to the best Western in Hannibal MO. There we parted and I headed south to MO-79 towards home.

Just returned from the Missouri State HOG Rally. Did not meet any new members. I did run out of forum cards. Lots of interest, particularly in SW III in St George Utah.
The rally was in Sedalia Missouri. We had over 900 bikes there. Saw lots of Sharks, including one custom job I posted pics of.

The flag handoff was changed from Winslow, A to the Cathouse at Eureka Springs due to the threat of rain south. Old Nerd Guy, Arkie Glide, Mrs. Arkie Glide and myself, Quicksand. Old Nerd Guy handed the flag off to me. Non Road Glide riders Phil +Jeff were there as well and took pictures. After lunch at the Cathouse the weather cleared somewhat so we took the flag down the Pig trail. Later it made the trip back to ES for margaritas
Jim McCalpine - Quicksand
September 30, 2012
Left Eureka Springs Arkansas Sunday morning headed toward Louisville. Took some really tasty roads thru AR and Mo - 142 being an unexpected treat. Not so much curvy as more like a roller coaster - very hilly with lots of - blind hills - when you crest them you lose sight of the road for a minute. Very cool Tracing my route later on the map it struck me the flag has spent a majority of time on the interstate which seems odd.
