OSO Snowmobile Bash 2004
 

Great weather, great snow, great people. No need to say more or talk about the ditch pickle ravine slam. Turtleneck girl called last night and sweater girl was coming over tonight:D :D We had Rob Rambunctious, Brian Vicious, Scott ? Chuck scarab26 and his dad Joe (57 and kept up like a champ) & Me. Plus two of Chucks friends, Jim Morrison and another buddy:D Drove 7 hours and hardly watched the road, we watched Terminator 3 and a few other movies, all going 75 towing a 24ft trailer in the fog. I know this route so well I don't even need to look up but for a few seconds every 10 minutes or so:D Here is what it looked like.

Sup mitch.. Musta survived the trip I see. I went up thursday night in the fog. It wasn't too bad a little muddy and alot of water on some of the trails. Still was able to slap on another 420 miles. Is your ditch pickle still running? I barely had any track clips on mine after I got done riding this weekend.. When the track would ratchet, it would just rip them off :eek: I have to run the track hanging 3/8" off the hyfax, only way to keep from ratcheting, alot tighter then I would like. I just got done putting the missing ones back on :rolleyes: this sled is totaly gonna be worn out after this winter, the only decent thing is the motor, still hasen't let me down :cool: Drive it like ya stole it :D 2750 miles this year and countin ;)

Guess I'll have to miss the fun. Just sold all mine. Go'in to LOTO. Western Plow for sale like new!

Sorry OSO stands for Off Shore Only...(Boating) No snowmobiles allowed. :D :D :D :D

Come to the Great White North for vacation and rent some. Slightly riskier than hammering in a cat.

oops, sorry

nice pics mitch.. too bad you ol guys can't do any action pics ;) :p I wanted to see the ditch pickle with the skis in the air :cool:

10 This is grand marais, mi. (not this pic, this is Holland) we have at least 4ft in the woods still.

One of my favorite H-58 road Munising to G Marais
Looking at my Dunes Saloon sweatshirt now. The guy that has a brewery there.

Traviss...don't talk about the ditch pickle action shots. I was 7ft in a ravine in a river up to my calf when a nice jump turned into a huge hole. No damage but to my ego and next year it is a Ski Doo REV if I have to steal one. I have 10,000 miles on the t cat and it is all new underneath but those REVs are like a caddy on pavement:D I will own one or I won't ride again.:D

Hey Downtown, thats where we meet sweatergirl and pissed off her husband:D I have about 10 of those, Chris (owner) and I are good friends. The cabin is my old one, I have 4 acres on the bay now and have to build this summer again. This place rules. The groomers in Munising were both down and we were warned to stay away at the Bear Trap.

post 19 doesn't look like GMarais. Theres gotta be more snow up there?

AWESOME

DT, next year you need to join us, we can find a good rental for you are I may keep the T Cat and rent it for drinks at night.:D We rode all this sober as a nun, no screwing around with thousands of sledders on their last weekend. This will be my 5th to the last if the snow holds out.

No, 19 is at my house in Holland, MI and there is no snow now!!!

post 22 ever come around 'ye bend and be lookin at him crawling at 10mph towards you? I always seem not to have trees on my side when that happens. Glad there gone LOTO

ya, and I can't remember nice subdivisions like that either in GM.

My fat friend has a t-cat 2000 limited edt green for 4000. Its nice he rides like a puppy tho. hes 300

On Fri night we had untouched groomed trails for 30 miles, we went 30 miles in about 20 min. On Sat we went 28 miles in about 15 min, hit 100+ for 10 miles..non stop.

Thats why I don't stud Traviss, 8000 miles before the clips came off. I run the track 3 in from the slides

howd you take that pic

:( Nobody invited me. :( sniff, sniff.

At least you have a sled cord!

Mine are gone >>>>>>> LOTO

Long as your still alive, thats all that matters :D My buddie runs rev 800ho renegade 136", 1.75" paddle track. He said it took a little to get use too, but loves it now, he rides only in canada, last month they had over 6ft of snow :eek: Big paddle track are hard on hyfax, he is on his 4th set in 1800 miles.

by the way.. sweet speedo pic :D
sweet pics bud! I love snow thats not brown :D

Ofcourse I am back in black :D Just need to dye the yellow in my seat :cool:

took it like this :D This was early winter :D

Camera in left hand running wide open with one hand :eek: I had to follow in the footsteps of my mentor mitch :D

Hey Cord, I wish you could have made it, it looked like it might rain but it didn't. I am pretty sure I told you but if I didn't you can kick my a$$. Now I feel bad. The year is not over so if you want another knee twister we can arrange it:D I took the pic like Traviss said, I was on a long, straight road with one hand on the gas and the other on the camera. It was easy since the road was plowed and smooth. That was only 7000 rpms, it will go to 9000 and that is about 120 and I am not taking a pic at that speed no matter what.:D Next year we will get more people, this is the inaugural year. I want to do it until I am bed ridden...then I'll put a motor on that too:D Hey, Chucks dad Joe was a great rider and a great guy to have along. He loves to talk and if you saw him you would think he was 45. You always wonder when people bring their dad but this guy could hang with anyone...even Chuck who has a death wish.:D :D :eek:

mitch.. I was a the dealer today. they had the new brochures. Ski doo will have a 1000 SDI sled for 2005. they call it the "RT" chassis, but it looks identical to the rev. 165hp they claim.

here is a link for ya.

Heck yea! It only took me about 3 weeks to start walking right! I'm going to try for 5 next time! Give me a weeks, maybe two notice and I'll be there! I really, really enjoyed that trip.
