I got the Dunlop DIREZZA DZ102 last time. The traction was great but they are on the harder side so they got loud on the highway. I need to get new summer tires this spring and I think I'm going for the same ones. I just put my header in so between my exhaust and my radio I won't be hearing the tires anyway.

Everyone seems to like to cruise the kanc...is there a lack of State Troopers up there so people can have fun?

its more the views and curves really its a nice escape from the norm some great food places and overall just fun, i think once or twice out of the dozen times ive been up there ive seen troopers, i always have my fair share of fun while i am up there given the traffic is low. Last year ive been doing alot of hiking up there so ive learned a few great eating spots and places to swim.

That restaurant is actually good?! I will have to try it out. I have driven by it hundreds of times and not once tried it in all my time in nh. Part out the honda when you sell it to get some more cash for your 86. lol

I definitely love a good burger...will be checking that place out at some point. We actually didn't end up getting up there cause we had to go run some errands in Maine (glad you didn't injure yourself horribly on that ice). Injures suck...I know. We pretty much said screw it while we were already there and went for a like 4 hour cruise through Maine. Maine is great cruising too btw.

What is Kaizen? We have a tuner around here?
