I like my wheels like I like my women, with some meat on their bones, not only do they look better, they can take a pounding with minimal wear and be ready for more at a moments notice. :yum:

:roflpuke2: you're one crazy mofo Ron

I'm probably a no-show for this cruise :( I might be in Canada, I might be prepping for a party that day ... Not sure yet.

Awesome bro, it was tons of fun with my siblings. I'll be back up there before Nov 4th. Hopefully the cold gives me a break :tup:

It's close by, hop on a plane and voila you're in Quebec :tup: I would love to visit China. When i see you, I might wanna check your pics ;)

Back on topic, sorry Randy :p

m4a1mustang 10-19-2011 06:57 AM

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 :icon17:

RandyD 10-23-2011 12:43 PM

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 :tup:

Vapiano 10-23-2011 08:56 PM

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... ^_^

Haha I know that feeling. I haven't bought this one yet and not sure if I'm going to. All the other ones I buy and play for a week or two and then I lose interest because no one wants to work together except those in clans and I don't have the time or patience to be in a clan again. I might change my tune about that once the new counter-strike comes out though. Used to be pretty damn good in 1.6 and source.

oh and on topic, I will not be attending this weekend's cruise, I'm sure its going to be amazing though with the amount of effort Randy is putting into this! Hope you all have an awesome and safe time!

b1adesofcha0s 10-26-2011 09:56 AM

I'm in :tup:

Might bring my cousin with me if he can come.

:shakes head: There's an entire Winter for playing Battlefiled... but i think i understand ...

ZCarMan 10-26-2011 03:30 PM

I'm seeing the forecast is saying there is a 60pct chance of rain on Saturday. I hope this changes.

RandyD 10-26-2011 04:03 PM

hard to tell Jon...looks like the front should be past where the cruise will be... still over Washington and Baltimore tho

b1adesofcha0s 10-26-2011 04:07 PM

I guess we will need updates the morning of the cruise. Don't want to do another cruise in the rain!

m4a1mustang 10-26-2011 04:10 PM

I'm iffy right now. Ultimately I guess the rain will decide.

RandyD 10-26-2011 04:10 PM

check Hume, VA or Marshall, VA for more local weather reports... right now it says 30% chance of rain... i will keep looking and we can make a call on Saturday. (Sunday looks like a great day if we want that as a rain date...)

m4a1mustang 10-26-2011 04:14 PM

I just realized the cruise was scheduled for Saturday, not Sunday. :bowrofl:

This changes EVERYTHING.

(waits for Jon to make fun of me for not reading the OP)
