Sorry about that. I just assumed you had it covered. How long were you there?
Snowmobilers are fu#%ing arrogant!!!!
- Thread starter straight-shot
- Start date
I thought you dreamed of being a gay **** star? All the times you PM'd me about my lethal weaponry and all. For the last time... Hell no you pillow muncher I will not "dominate you" so stop asking!
I love to see the reactions when you use those three horrible words "left hand throttle". A "real rider" can side hill a Polaris mustang with a big block Chevy without one of those. I have a turbo, I HATE IT. I have a left hand throttle I LOVE IT. Serves me right for listening to the bull being shoveled.
I think you may have me confused with MPS's stalker.
Hey, I have a turbo and brand new Motorfist gear. And I stopped and helped three different stuck dudes yesterday and I had no idea who the heck they were. We always stop by groups and ask if everything is ok. If it is, we leave. If not, we ask if they need something.
That's exactly what he's talking about.......quit being such an a-hole!

Did someone need help changing spark plugs today...Sheesh.
IF you are broke down on the side of the trail and I am going by and you need help, wave me over and I will help. I am sure 99% of the other turbo riders will do the same, we usually have more tools then non-turbo riders. Don't know how many times I pull over to help and end up getting the, "what do you think you know more then me about sleds attitude". We are not the richest guys on the face of the planet. Most of us, at least the ones that I know, were wanting a sled that will get you into places the old stocker will not go.
If you are complaining about peeps not waving to you when you are meeting on the trail or guys like me that hate to put up a number for the number of people I have riding behind me, not going to happen. I don't know you or how good a rider you are. What if you are so wave happy you start to veer towards me while we are both going 40 mph? And for the hand gesture on how many people you are going to meet behind me. I don't know if anyone is following our group. So If I were to put up a 3 and you see three sleds go by and can it thinking you are free to let the ol' 600 get some and low and behold another group is coming around the next corner.
When I run down the trail I am constantly in and out of the throttle. Turbos do not like to be run at 1/4 or 3/4 throttle. Biggest headache of owning a turbo is runnig down the trail to get to the good snow.

Howdy
So are you saying if you live SE Idaho your unsociable?
So are you saying if you live SE Idaho your unsociable?
I think the consensus is just the opposite.
That's nothing.
You wanna know what chaps my hams?
I had to say hams because they will just censor ***....see I told you so!
Anyhows.......what were we talking about any way?
Oh yeah chapped as...uh hams.
Don't you hate it when you're eating a $20 meal and the table rocks back & forth?
I mean c'mon, I expect that crap at the golden freaking arches but not at a real eating establishment.
Besides, what the hell does this have to do with anything?
It doesn't even fit in on this thread!
That's just stupid.
I may just quit typing in the mid
My attitude has always been, what comes around goes around, so I'm always willing to help anyone out because I know there are times when I'll need it in return. I guess I've just been lucky, but I've never had anyone get pissed off at me for asking if I can help or actually trying to help. I'm in N. Utah btw, so maybe that's just how it is here too.
Yeah, sorry bout that. Next time I'll joust em with a tree branch.

i put a big turbo sticker on my hood.now i can snub the poor riders.

awful knawful

Sorry somebody rubbed you the wrong way. I think that this is not so much an issue with snowmobilers, but rather society. Hopefully that feeling of disgust can be felt a little less every day when you spot the decent folk out there...

Did you actually try to flag someone down? I don't know how many times I've stopped for someone with their hood up to see if they needed any help and they were just 'letting it cool off'. I've also stopped to help dig sleds out and have gotten both positive AND negative responses to that. But I've never seen anyone NOT stop if they are flagged down.
Don't get me wrong here as I'm not trying to be a d**k, but I'm assuming you aren't the type that drags a POS sled up on the mountain that is always breaking down and constantly getting buried as soon as it leaves the trail, and then you demand that everyone spends their day bailing you out....... seen lots of people like that too. I won't leave anyone stranded, but when I see the same POS machine and the same rider in the same location with the same 'problems' time and again, yep, I'll keep moving!
On the other side of this, there are always parking lot posers. Fact of life.
Funny as he!! to watch though....

I have stopped and helped so many strangers that I've lost count.
Some hunters on old AC Prowlers who were stuck ON the road back in December up at Lolo Pass. LOL
The guy from Minnesota who went 50' off the road bank (almost a cliff) last year and had to be winched up out of the trees.
The 14 year old kid that was stuck in his old Indy 440 with a 121" track in about 6 feet of powder and pleaded ("can youuuuuuuuuuu help me pleaaaaaaasseeeeeeeee?????)" LOL
The two semi-friendly "girls" who were snoboarding up at Lolo by the radio ower...needed a ride up the hill...they thoguht about it, discussed it, but ultimately declined my friendly offer.
And on and on....
Why WOULDN'T you help people?

Does that mean since I own one of those POS machines because it is the only thing I can afford I am not welcomed on your mountain? I have seen the arrogance go both ways. The pro "have everythings" cutting down on those who are trying to have fun the best they can with what little they can afford and the "have nots" bashing those who choose to spend money on high dollar sleds and mods. It is time to stop worrying about what everyone has or has not and just ride.
I don't own any mountains personally, and the public mountains are for everyone of all levels of equipment and abilities.
Like I said, I won't leave anyone stranded that really needs help, but I do tons of maintenance on my stuff to minimize the potential of being stranded in the backcountry, and it costs money. So why would I want to spend MY riding time doing someone elses maintenance? Likewise, I'll help you dig out but don't expect me to follow you around all day to dig you out of your 'learning curve', ESPECIALLY if you don't have your own shovel!
We're all out there to have fun and ride, right? But I've seen people bring stuff on the mountain that probably shouldn't be there, not only because it's a boat anchor, but because it has the ability to run long enough to take its rider a long way into the backcountry and leave them there. A little fun has now become a life/death issue, not only for the rider, but for everyone that has to go in looking for them.
Going cheap may work riding on the farm, but it can screw you real quick in the backcountry. That's the only real point I'm trying to make here.
