(It's like the Travelling Gnome project.)
The Pig started in Texas. My b/f and I were the Rhode Island representatives and we had Pig for 3 weeks. We toured him across the state having picked him up from the Connecticut person near the RI border. We handed him off yesterday in Massachusetts. That person will take him to New Hampshire for the next handoff (he's scheduled to go to Canada after that).
Part of the fun included the Vespa dying on one of the day trips and the two us riding back into Providence on my Buddy to get help. Ugh, 2-up was miserable.
Here are all our pics with Pig and our scooters. Be warned it takes A LONG TIME to load as the CT guy's server is slow.

Some of the pics are below.
Highest point in little Rhody (812 feet).
At Brown University (I took Pig to quite a few of the colleges in RI).
At Waterfire. We parked the scoots “with the big boys” and as we’re locking up, this giant horse comes clomp-clomp-clomping up the sidewalk complete with an enormous Providence cop aboard. I had to seize this moment and I run up and plead, “oh Officer this pig is travelling across the country on two wheels and it would be super-awesome if you would hold him while I take a picture”. His response: “On those?” He had just come back from a 6,000 mile round trip to Sturgis on his HD.
At Hasbro in Pawtucket.
At Seekonk Speedway in MA, the handoff location.
