I met the group on Lolo and chuckled to myself as you all passed here and there running all over the hills like little ants. I was on my souped up 1000 and thought myself much cooler than ya'll.
Your tracks all over the place seemed odd as to the lines you were picking and they dont even look that comfortable to ride!
We had a fun day and I wore out my wife and my 2 first time sled guests and we made our way back to the warming hut and my gosh there they all were again. We walked into the warming hut and I was apprehensive to be around this "crazed" bunch and this really tall guy who seemed to be like one of those kids toys you pull the string on and he just talked and talked and talked well he was telling his story to anyone who would listen. He looked at my friend and asked if her would like to ride one... MY ears perked up and I knew I must befriend this gentle giant who was offering rides. So I asked about Snowest and blah blah blah 5 minutes and music to my ears I was walking towards my helmet as the words were still leaving his lips.
He mentioned tipping over but it was amazing to quickly learn what they were somewhat capable of and I had a blast ripping up a hillside that I would normally drive right past on my sled. I think he was trying to catch me but I was up down across side to side and he finally ran me down. Back to the hut we went and my smile was met with a not so kind comment to the tall guy who had launched right back another "live commercial"!
SO out to the parking lot we went me aboard the Hawk and him on my sled. Once again ripping up sidehills that I would normally drive right past I was dropping back onto the trail and hit a knarly hole and over I went and I hear Tall Guy shouting YAHHHHHHHHHH over the din of motor! Hauled it back on its feet and away I went.
My questions are it was seemingly a little hard to control on the trail seemed to want to go its own way not mine.. felt like I was forcing it I am sure its just getting used to it.
How do you tie them down and how do you load them on a trailer?
And is it ok if I pick up one in Lower Idaho this weekend? Found an 04 600 with a RKT 734 and lots of goodies digital readout, 12 gal tank, hand guards, hoops on rails to save poking hole in track and several more things...for less than 6 grand
I aint learning no secret handshake... tooo much tooo fast
