Lost a stator Friday night, luckily it was on a road. Drug it home, fixed by Sunday. Sunday night roasted a piston and ruined the jug, fixed last night. Spent most of today figuring out a carburetion issue, fixed tonight. I got about two hours of riding in and so far all seems well.

I was starting to think that ZRT stood for Zero Riding Tonight.

Hey guys ........... Nykamp has a real cherry 93 Exciter SX that his wife if anybodies lookin for an extra ride ????

I may have to pack up the trailer and head north. That is farther north then my place in Maine this weekend! Riding sucks this year.

 

[Gladhe8er]

Any of you guys had good seasons so far? Upstate NY has been very marginal all year...

 

[redhotsommer]

Same around here. I'm heading up to Grayling, MI in an hour or so. The big storm that hit Chicago this week barely gave them 4 inches...expecting a bit of ice and snirt....but hey...we're riding!

Conditions have been a let down so far this year!!!!! We primarly ride lower michigan, best conditions were in the begining of Dec. All the snow has been hitting the dirty south. WTF

 

[Tony]

Dumping more here.

after 15 years of sledding I sold my last one 2 years ago, got tired of having to chase snow, and here in Michigan its been pretty crappy for quite a while (last year being the exception, I was bumming about selling last winter). I figure if I really get the itch I can rent one or borrow one pretty easy. I really want to do some mountain riding next.

Now there is a classic snowmobile!:driving:

In my opinion the snow has been pretty good for the last 3-4 years with this year been the expection. I think you could ride almost any weekend this year but the conditions aren't the best!:driving:

that thing is sweet!

going on my first sled trip this march...give me some pointers, I'm guessing that the throttle is your friend just like atv'n???...be riding on my cousins sled, it has a snow jack that I'm sure I'll end up using at some point:cuss:

Where are you going? Riding out west or off-trail is a whole different animal than trail riding. Either way, you WILL have fun...and chances are you won't believe the acceleration the first time you grab a handful!

BTW...TAKE YOUR TIME when learning how to to it! Lot's of horsepower to play with...and frozen trees don't bend.

 

[LAriverratt]

out west...Colorado up around rabbit ears pass which is close to steam boat if you know where that is. I'll be on a arctic cat. I think its a 900 so I'm sure it'll be a hand full at first for a rookie.:driving:

 

[Tony]

A 900 Cat is a LOT of power. Just remember, you dont need all the throttle all the time. Theese things will kill you with the simple flick of the thumb if you dont respect them. Have fun, be safe.

 

[LAriverratt]

thanks for the info guys...I do know what 900cc's on the road feels like when you gun it so I'm sure its every bit of that x2 on the snow. I will take it easy and respect the power....I learned the hard way at a young age and have never forgotten it. I'm really looking forward to this trip!!!!

Be safe and use your head
