Ragged,
I haven't found anything. This time of year we switch to the deck & 2 place anyway. Snowcaats did reply to me, I just haven't had time to go look. I can pm ya his phone number if you dont have it. He e-mailed me pics, good looking trailer. I'm just lurking, waiting for that turn key deal lookin for cash.
BigRigger,
Tell the economy sized EricW hi for me. Tell him I haven't forgot to send the pics, I'm just a dope about getting that kinda stuff done. Tell your other brother Mike and his other brother Brian hi too.
As for all this thread talkin 'bout who's the best rider, I think the only gentlemans way to resolve this would be a "Weight Adjusted" tree & hill shootout. In this event I would be bring lots of bench plates and lead weight belts along with a good set of scales. All riders entered would weigh in then begin adding weight to equal that of the heaviest rider (in this case about 350# before breakfast). We would strap the additional weight to you with 75% being around the mid section for accurate rider re-creation. The rest could be added under the chin, under the missing bicept, and rest between ankles and knees. Once you are "Weight Adjusted", we would hit the hills. We would be led by a couple good riders, but ones that wouldn't leave you completely behind because they want you to feel like your right on the edge of keeping up (and you buy their gas).
So, just as we get to those riders taking a break and our arms are numb and cramping, they pick up their Snickers wrappers and fire up saying "c'mon the good stuff if up there" as the point almost verticle. Now here's where we separate the men from the boys, arms and legs already shot, we head through the trees working our way to these giant shutes, but remember, don't let your butt hit the seat once or you'll have instant flash backs of walking through the Varsity locker room as an 8th grader being hazed from all sides. The echo's of parking lot poser, trail rider, where's the groomer, etc will go on for hours if you get caught sitting down even once.
Now I don't want to speculate on the results of pulling shutes for all you "Weight Adjusted" riders, but from my own experience, it's probaly worth bringing a video camera and tow ropes.
So, that said, I am proclaiming my self the best "Weight Adjusted" rider out there. This should put an end to all the indifference and allow all of us to agree on something untill one of you lightweights straps on the other 200# for the day. Remember, before you reply, I have been training like this every day for 45 years, I just need to warn ya.
Glad I could put this whole thing to rest, welcome to my world......I'm hungry now, and hear the good Capt'n (crunch) calling my name. Talk amongst yourselves. LOL. EW

[QUOTETJ, all BS aside what kind of track speed is that Xp pulling?[/QUOTE]
The day the pics were taken it was pulling 52 willing climbing, would drop to high 40's when barly moving turning out. THis is on the digital spedo.....I have no idea if it is accurate.
Have a buddy that was pulling low 60's to high 50's in the fluff. I am trying to get mine there. Some of the ones with stock clutching had a whopping 35....

That's funny EricW, "economy sized EricW" . I like the idea of the handicaps, but man, I'd be lugging around 215 or so of plates!!!
You guys enjoy the sun, don't get fried! I'm sitting in high 30s and rain
Oh well, at least I can watch the ESPN moto x stuff tomorrow.

BTW we didn't go to the shelter. We got another hair brain idea that required more Snobunji time than I like. Got back with no pictures, but If your on a Polaris (Best Mountain sled ever made) you can climb anything in this snow. I've never been so puckered up in my life until today coming down thru the trees WAAAAYYYY FASTER than I could think. That surface slush isn't much for braking.
I'm out tomorrow. I'm way sore after a couple of the stunts I pulled today.

you guys seriously ride in shorts? i've stripped down to the wife beater before on a spring day but I've never gone to SHORTS?! ya'll are ca-razy! i guess i usually switch over to dirt by the time it's shorts weather, maybe that's why i've never seen it.... i dunno, maybe we're just a little more sane over there in the cascades than you all are over here!
nitro, i'm in for sun! whooo-hooo!! will be great to finally get out with you! will be good both days this weekend cause i may finally meet some people. Mini keeps me all caged up and in hiding up there in the trees at trestle, will be fun to finally put some faces to the names both at the camp out and wherever we go on sun!
Whoooooo-hoooo!!! can't wait for some sunshine in the mtns, i's been a stormy year!

Does anyone know why the idiot proof GFI I wired up isn't working!?!?!? It works to break the circuit but it doesn't trip before the breaker does... I thought it was supposed to trip first.... I have the line and load right, I have the white and black right, WTF?!!?!?!?! I even bought another IDIOT PROOF one, READ THE DIRECTIONS, and put that one in to make sure the other one wasn't broken... Same thing... VERY frustrating!!! Any hints?
