RonP,

I have been out 4 times so far. Riding has been between terrible and excellent. My buddy went yesterday and said it was phenominal. I am going with the wife EARLY EARLY EARLY Saturday morning to beat the crowds. Been waiting for the riding to improve in Canada to go away with the boys for 4 or 5 days.

Kurt, Wayne said there was no good riding yet in Maine! Should we consider heaing up that way?

A couple weeks ago we trailered 3 hours and I put a whopping 34 miles on the new 2002 ZR800 efi and my buddy put the same on my 580 efi on crappy trails :rolleyes:

We got some snow yesterday (4-5") but no base. Next weekend we'll have a bunch of us together for "Tip-up-town" so maybe we'll actually get to use these things a bit (if the lake is still frozen)

:eek:

Well today was one heck of a day! :eek:
I live at the mouth of a river going into a lake, the river does not freeze and there is a big field next to the river. Sometimes I`ll rip across the field at about 80 or so and cross about 200 ft of open water and then you hit the ice :D It is a blast and I`ve been doing it for years and never had a problem. Today I had a non snowmobiling friend visit and I let him ride this old Polaris Indy Trail. We were in the field and I shot past him and ran the open water :eek: I looked back as I hit the ice and the guy on the old Polaris had FOLLOWED ME across the water. he sunk half way across and swam to the shore :eek: Luckily he was fine , we ran him into the house and he changed immediatly into some warm clothes then we got out the jon boat and went fishin for a sled. We hooked it right away and motored it to shore. Then the ambulance. sherrif and game warden arrived :( They were not happy with us. Got the sled back in the house and we had it running 1/2 hr later :D Just glad he was OK!
The law said not to do that anymore!

Kurt.

Kurt now that sounds like living on the edge and a ton of fun. One of these days I need to get a ride on one of those snow toys.

Biggus 01-19-2002 09:20 PM

Your welcome to use one of my sleds! :eek:

Biggus 01-21-2002 08:55 AM

Hey guys, we are heading out in the winter wonderland for a few hours :D
Man, the riding has been damn good!

Kurt :D

Kurt,

Water skipping is a BLAST! Glad to hear you had a good time and your friend is well. Saturday went riding with the wife and she smoked the motor on her 600. Yesterday I took HOTBOAT riding for his 2nd time. Trials were good but can use more snow. Going to Canada on February 6th we hope!

Shane :cool:
