I did 120 yesterday. My buddy I was with only got about 18 before his zr900 diamond drive broke. Towed him back 3-4 miles to the road. After he got his truck and borrowed a trailer, got it loaded, I continued on.

See, you should have gotten the trailer hitch on that big rig!

Silly cats...

That would be about right. LOL

Still trouble free when I got back so all is good Eric.

Morning guys! We're in a blizzard up here. I slept in a bit as I was supposed to work at 1030, and now my boss just called and said we won't even bother opening until 1230. More coffee time for me! I don't know about you Chris, but my Monday is off to a decent start.

Silly Cat owners.
What lug length? I have 1.25 on my 05 studded, I like it a lot. The 09 is 1" no studs, don't like it. Will be on the look out for a 1.25" hopefully already studded.

I should have offered him to ride the 10000+ mile 05 to finish the ride

1.25 and now 136" instead of the maybe 1/2" X 121 with no studs that was on there. My original track I think was about a 7/8" with studs. That was pretty good.

Nice theory. My Friday is Thursday this week.

I don't think it'd do much to you Jay! It's not snowing much, just snowing enough to bounce off the ground and then blow sideways...

Morning Jake! We have kind of a mess down here as well. Blowing like crazy and some snow. Not a blizzard but still a mess.
