Hope to get a run together whenever it stops snowing.

I don't mind going into the city, well i do a bit because I do it for school every day , but does everyone ever do Westchester runs?
It would be fun to do a Weschester run, let's stick to a patholess road, the city is getting new ones Avery day lol and with more water and snow today we will get some new ones.

Let set it up, I'm good on a Friday or Saturday

Speaking of potholes....OMG! A new one has emerged in the left-hand lane going northbound on the FDR right before it splits (left for the Harlem River Drive and right for the Bronx). I hit it and thought my dang wheel was going to fly off. I hate run flats, but if that harder than steel tire is what kept my rim from getting dented or kept me from catching a flat tire....then I'm taking back every bad thing I ever said about them. Well.....almost everything. Lol

With the nice weather we had today, and another dose scheduled for tomorrow, should we all expect pictures of your installed GP2 diffuser?!

I'm all down for a Westchester run, only one problem...NYS Troopers. Unless we have a native who knows where all the cops are then it'll be a good idea. I'm only familiar with speed traps in and around the Bronx River / Sprain Brook Pkwy up to White Plains / I-287. Anything past that, I'm clueless. Also, looking to set up some mini detailing clinics. The idea is to share some basic maintenance tips for your ride.

You know I'm down...for the run and definitely for the mini clinic! You made Klaus look like new in less than ten minutes :-)

Bear Mountain is right under an hour away off the Palisades Pkwy. It would be a nice run, only issue being is a 45-50mph speed limit. There's lots of cops on the Pkwy. I don't mind cruising speed if we have a large amount of minis traveling. It would resemble a parade. :D

I'm down if we can get at least 10 minis to participate.

i can get to bear mountain in about 45 minutes, it's not bad really. the drive itself is a nice little road up the side, there's often fairs and stuff at the top. it's a nice drive, pretty, especially in the fall. the only issue is sometimes trucks and campers go up there, and they always are really slow and never pull over to let people by.

On 684 My V1 picks up cops 100% of the time from very far away. Additionally I know where they normally hang out.

Sadly, these next two weekends don't work for me. I'm headed to Ron Fellows 3day ZR1 driving school then a drop in Vegas while I'm out there. Earliest I can do is the last weekend of the month.

Best,
Gene

Cool, maybe some of us can meet up on Saturday for a test run morning and then when everybody is back we can do a full run, say April 6 or 7th by then Vizcat,phantasms and psichick should be able to join us.

How does April 7th in the morning sound for everybody?
