All around me, lotsa legal snowmobile trails. Betcher a.s they aren't legal for bikes the rest of the year... Dave XR650L_Dave notes: john said: > > apparently 2 stroke triples can pull a wheelie... And don't stop and can't turn. Dang exciting stuff. > All around me, lotsa legal snowmobile trails. One big advantage. Even here there are lots of trials, they just don't have enough snow on them 95% of the year. Good for scouting pirate trails though. Go fast. Take chances.

Go figure. Stupid machines. A studded dirtbike is still way more fun. JayC > One big advantage. Even here there are lots of trials, > they just don't have enough snow on them 95% of > the year. Good for scouting pirate trails though. Mike, I just talked with Doo yesterday. He reminded me that he has 4 sleds and likes to ride in Wyoming. It looks like I'll be able to cross another one off my "list". Yeah, this winter is gonna suck. :-) HellSickle counts 'em off, > Mike, I just talked with Doo yesterday.

I'd kick you for waiting so long to start on the list but you're having so much fun you wouldn't notice. That's excellent. Go for it. > Yeah, this winter is gonna suck. :-) And that's a good thing, right? Say hi to Doo for me! Go fast. Take chances.

My snowmobile experience is limited to one night riding the same trails on which I learned most of my dirtbike skills, maybe eight years ago or so. Fresh powder on top of zero base. The vintage Yamaha had no studs on the track and needed a drive belt badly, yet it climbed the hills with very little fuss. Then I tried Sean's more modern twin (400?500?) out on the beaver pond. The beaver pond is not very big and I was able to reliably pull 90+ mph on the short straights. Snowmobiles are fun. No beavers were injured in the creation of this memory. That's a different story. You can buy a used Kawasaki 750 tripple from the 70's if you like excitement. Better hang on tight though and wear some protective gear. Stay off the throttle in turns. OF |
