Can't wait to spank that overweight, over-valved, six foot long exhaust piped Yimiha of Jeff's.

Actually, I have no idea if I can beat that Yami. But, you can bet we'll be finding out soon.
My log in over there is Twin Vipers or maybe this one just cause you have a cat. What I found most useful in the site was while venturing to new areas you post where your going and gat lots of good feed back. I also found that getting trail condition reports straight from the last guy out on them was a little better than the once a week updates.

P.S. Tell your wife that the Velocity chit has to wait till next week. I used all my allowance money for this week to buy Whipple kits for the Biotch and don't have anything left for the UPS charges. But next week is looking good!
HCS = hardcoresledder. As for the GPS yes a handheld would work but they all don't like the cold for the most part. Which means you have to stop dig it out of where ever you buried it. then wait for it to figure out where in the He!! you are. The other problem I've seen is that there is no good source for traill maps to be loaded, so now that you no where you are where do you go from here when you're surrounded by white space and not a road in site. You basically need to plot them your self and save them. Myself, I've opted for the good old reliable map and stick in the nice clear window of my tank bag. For speed runs and comfirmation that are sleds will blow away yours and daves boat, now that will work

Well I was close.

You bring that sled with you when you come back next summer and you and I will do that Singer and back deal.

Bout time one of you two stepped up to the plate for the challenge. Now all we need is a pace boat/sled and a couple of third parties at the end to confirm that I'm still King of The River

Got an estimate on the paint this afternoon $400.00 with a 95-98% Guarantee that I won't be able to notice the blend lines? What do you think go for it or not, Cheryl already gave me the go ahead?

Sounds more than fair to me, actually based on shop rates and paint costs now it sounds like a bargain. Get R Done!

Now lets make sure we're on the same page here, Singer and back?

Sounds like one of those "When he!! freezes over deals" to me. I haven't seen the St. Lawrence freeze solid since I was a kid. Hot Stepper is going to have his work cut out for him next summer.

On a side note, I was talking with Jake this afternoon and he tells me he has a sled for me that you couldn't touch if you mount both of your "twin" triples on one sled. Only draw back is the one his buddy built, just like the one Jake has, sold for some $57K. Yea, $ 57,000.00!!! I'm thinking this thing is the snonmo version of the Cat Killer.

I thought I saw an earlier post where AXA had dibs on that one?
