I guess I have a target on my back!

edit: I see you have R888s, that means you get to play with the big boys.

Have you driven on "sticky" tires yet? I have ran a6's on my BRZ, and on my old STi. I wasn't as impressed with them on my BRZ as my STi; however, they may have just been tired rcomps by the time I used them on the BRZ. I know the ao48 are not as sticky as the a6, but should leave some smiles on your face. lol.

Are these any better for vision? How about a shot from your seat?

jdnguyen · 03-21-2015, 06:09 PM

Yes I can see much better with them. Larger horizontal field of view and much clearer glass. They also have the blue tint.

They are nice. Thanks for the shot.

So, once upon a time, I rode my Kawasaki with in group of retired fella's on the milk truck roads in Wisconsin.
It was a fun day of twisty winding roads for about 300 miles with a stop for food along the way.
I'm thinking that this road cruise would be just as fun in my Twin. Will be going for a drive in a couple of weeks to see if my memory is correct and make any route adjustments.
Just putting it together in my head for now and wondering if there is any interest here in the area of doing a day cruise.

I'll be in the area the first weekend of April for cars and coffee

I taught myself how to do paint correction over the weekend. I practiced on a black 2012 camry that had lots of paint swirls
