hey doug, i think me and king kat were the first ones in and out of no cigar from the top. maybe through the trees but still first:) looking forward to tearing it up with ya' this year, always nice to have another aggresive rider to bust the pow with. need to get out and do a little early exploring this year, may have a couple of areas that have opened up, which will make you pucker!!!
VICTORY IS MINE!!! fired the precious for the first time today, took a nice deep breath of smoke, smelled like heaven:) fired right up with no leaks so looks like all i need now is some pow. wish the stuff that came through at the start of the week would have held, would have been plenty for a break-in ride. so now comes the worst part of the year, raining so won't ride the quads, and no snow so no snomobiling:( every week the anticipation gets worse and worse. all i can do is watch the weather 5 times a day and cuss the snow gods who have forsaken me. becoming more and more jealous of all the other peeps posting they got out on thier first rides and i'm sitting home wondering how many snowcones it would take to make a small mt. to ride on:) too many;) maybe if i bought my own snowcone machine? i would of course flavor them all orange! after a couple of more weeks it will come to "if it doesn't snow here by thanksgiving its time for a road trip." need to get ahold of king kat, he's always got the time and the money, we just need to find snow. usually the snow comes just in time, but remember eating pork and beans out of a can up at greenwater a few thanksgivings ago. was one of the best meals ever!!! well lets hope it doesn't come to that this year, want to be eating my turkey sandwich at the top of kelsay in a couple feet of pow. for that i would be VERY thankful for.
heres a pic of the precious all but done, a hood and a couple of side panels and she's ready to rip. for all of you who seemed to take offense to my "suitcase" you'll notice i have replaced it with a shiny new one. doesn't work very good for a shelf but sure sounds good:)

I bagged no cigar with Greg the year before back when it was just a pipe dream. I got a year up on you but who cares. Lets keep it on the down low what do you say?
 
i say hey, hey, hey its fat albert, and i'm gonna sing a song for you!!! don't know what your talking about, have never heard of the place;) i ride mostly trails up by diamond lake, i always check the grooming schedule to see the best place to ride for the day. been looking at the new 2up touring sleds, a heated seat with an electric shield on my modular helmut sounds like heaven. the remote start might just be a deal sealer. wonder if touring sleds have enough room for my snow bunjie and snowscoop...

Nothing wrong with heated seats!! I've got them in my truck, and the remote start. I might like a sled with those features!
 
sled looks good ron! I am going crazy! I wanna ride so bad. I am bummed my sled is still stock this year but oh well I guess. Can't wait to destroy some pow with you in a few weeks!
 
Hey Ron,
Thought I would show you my new sled.....

Ready to rip, where is the snow? Low snow shootout should be soon

I wanna ride with the great Sandman too :face-icon-small-hap I have one of those old new fangled 4-strokes with a Mod snow flap and some stickers from SledHeads. Something happened to my suitcase though. Do I need one?:eek:
 
Hey Ron, All this talk of Pipes and Cigars is confusing. Buy a Polaris then you don't have to install a pipe! Just Kidding, really looking good! Let me know if you plan any trips 1/2 way to Idaho and We will come down for the weekend. Kent
 
diva, maybe you could take one of the seats out of your truck and put it on your sled:) then just send the hubby out in the morning when you want it started!!!
devin, i've got the itch also, these next couple of weeks are gonna be tough. the pow will come and we will ride. got a couple of places down your way i want to hit this year.
dave, hey was just thinkin' about you the other day, hadn't heard from you. you still down in medford? king kat sounds like he's gonna be in semi-retirement this year so need a reliable riding partner. even one that rides a 4 stroke;) love to watch those turbo's climb, suitcase optional!!!
tedd, sweet sled! do you really want to ride your new sled. looks like gregs from last year? well if it is, guess what, i've already rode your sled:) are you jealous??? tuning was spot on, almost as nice as my M, almost...
kent, i'll meet you halfway, thats better than noway, theres got to be someway we can get it together. sounds like a plan, don't know what kind of riding there is in the middle of oregon??? will have to do a little researching. would like to hook up with you guys and bust some pow.
lowsnow shootout should be happening soon. just need a storm to come through at the right time. all are welcome, you just have to be willing to ride a little dirt here and there and not mind banging a rock or two. just riding the roads but will be nice to get out again. hate this dead time in between quads and sleds. am getting a little chunky already, first couple of rides will take care of that. swear can loose 10lbs easy on a powder day!!! start eating your wheaties now...

Ya Ron you gotta come down this way a bit more. If the snow is right we can ride right outta my house. There is only a handful of people that rider here and ask SilDoc it is bad ***! When I took him up it kinda sucked but he saw what it has to offer when he went hunting up there this fall. I am trying to find the wife a used sled for the season but I am up for riding any chance I get! I am getting kinda bored of racing right now and I am ready for sledding!

What? You mean you need to see? Great time there Devin. Always hate to bust up a new sled mid season. This year though I will have your number on speed dial. I can see lots of time there in the Gap.
 
ya I am gonna ride as much as possible this year! We are going back to Diamond Lake around Christmas like we did last year for a few days. This is the 3rd season I will be on my sled and it only has 800 miles on it!!! In 05 I rode over 2000 miles!!!! The last 2 years I have barely ridden. I gotta get that thing paid off and then I can pass it on to the wife and get myself a new one!!!!
 
heck i've put more miles than that this year riding in my shop!!! have found sitting on it and making my own engine noises is soooo much cheaper on gas;)
 
well it looks like the lowsnow shootout is down to just me and hero:) were loading up and heading out first thing this morning!!! snow or bust, i think that will be the moto for this years ride. hoping to get to unload around windigo and head north, if not we are gonna drive north until we find enough. one way or the other theres gonna be snow in the skid of the precious, sweet fluffy white powder, why have you forsaken me and headed north? why does the weatherman tease me with 2-4 feet forcast and then delivery 3 inches;) last year me and trenchdigger had a blast with the snowcam showing just 2 inches so were an inch up from that! will most defiantley have some pics for ya guys tonight...
 
I am going to cry!!! I just looked at the snowcam at Crater Lake and at Diamond lake. Not a cloud in the effin sky!!!!! Crater Lake has lots of snow and Diamond is showing 6 inches so you know there is more than that North of Windigo!!!! Damm this flu!!!!!!
 
How many wish they stayed home today? How many sleds are going to Greg's shop tomorrow with TORE off front ends?:rolleyes:
 
i feel sorry for those of you who chose to stay home today, bluebird skies and fluffy white pow!!!! we put in 80 miles today and had a blast, not a problem one!!! heres a little teaser pic for you poor suckers who missed out;) will do a full post later tonight when i'm doing my insomnia thing...


how deep was it????????????????????????????????
