Mid-Atlantic Cruise: Spooktacular Mega-Cruise

Ron would you be sticking with the oem 225s up front with 275s out back? If so, you are going to kill the handling. WAY too much stagger for the Z.

Nah, if I upsize the rear to 275 I will upsize the front to 245 as to not destroy the handling. Been thinking of doing it for a while now but I can't in good conscience buy new tires with my oem set only having 7800 miles on them.

When the rears finally do go out I plan to buy 275's to replace them and get a matching set of 245's up front. I'll most likely just give away the oem 225's to someone here when the time comes.

Gotcha. Was just making sure you weren't going to run 100mm of total stagger

ran a test run today to check for color... some trees look at peak, others have dropped all leaves, and still more are green... hopefully they will still look as good next weekend! (vids posting soon)

That's awesome Randy... Ugh cyclists

I did a run to Hagerstown yesterday and stopped by Sugarloaf Mountain, the foliage colors have not been as spectacular as they have been in the past few years. Global Warming is really throwing off the cycle as well as the drought we had a few years ago.

I don't speak much French, but I can speak enough to say in broken language:

Birdman, il dort avec chiens.

And it might not mean the same thing as it would in English, but it's still funny enough.

RandyD · 10-24-2011, 04:50 PM

I made a slight route change based on my latest run... I included Free State Road - it is worth it.

RandyD · 10-26-2011, 08:38 AM

blades.. or eastwest... you guys decide yet?
also anyone heard from Bart? - seems to have disappeared...

m4a1mustang · 10-26-2011, 09:40 AM

I bought Battlefield 3 last night. So I am not sure what I am going to be doing this weekend... ^_^
