I had a good experience with Mikes Discount Auto Transport out of Stratford WI.  One on one with the owner.  He is just a broker but everything went well and was responsive to calls/texts.  Think it was $900 Virginia Beach to Marinette.

I'm pretty sure we've ridden together up on the North Shore.

Maybe in spirit.

17 years old.

600 miles a year. 

Tough life.

Lost three seasons to injury and two to finances.  5000 in the last three years.  Properly flogged every ride.

It's been said a million times....if only by those that know shit about sleds....ZOOK for the mother fucking win.  That is all.  End of story. 

 

Couldn't agree more.  I keep a soft look out for a NOS longblock, just have on the shelf.

Johnny Larue had over 17,000 miles on his F7 before he got a new one. 

I'm not worthy.  That said, I don't see doing anything more than the same maintenance routine I always do and continue to run it, still pulls triple digits with ease.  Also have an 06 Sabercat 500 that will turn 10,000 this season.

Ok, I'll play.  04 F7.  Bought new.  Proper warm ups every time, APV oil only.  142 compression each side.  Just crossed 10,000 miles.  Two powervalve cleanings but never been touched.  Pistons and cylinder walls look perfect through the y-pipe.

So.  What do gasoline and MC have in common?  See topic title.

Hopefully we will have some snow waiting for you!  Much appreciate the report.

I'm in Marinette.  Hopefully we actually get some snow Thursday and can ride local.  Did the UP last weekend and the traffic was insane.  Plus I'd like to avoid two more MI trail passes if possible.  Ride Pembine/Wausaukee/Crivitz quite a bit.  The last few years have ridden more by Mountain/Lakewood as they tend to maintain the trails much better.  River Road Riders actually panned today so maybe they are going to take this a bit more seriously in Marinette County.  They actually opened up access to the City of Marinette and the bay this year for the first time in decades.  

Thanks Much!!

Was wondering if anyone has a first hand report on the Dodge/Washington County trails.  Considering a trip south as my kids are chomping at the bit for a ride.  Any insight appreciated!

Not sure if it's the official term but we used to call it "skitching"...... one of my friends was a real a-hole and he would always aim for  exposed manhole covers or potholes to try to throw us off . Looking back was   still a lot of fun and no one got hurt, fortunately.

That's what we called it too!  Used to skitch the bus to school!

There is a black one with a manual in it sitting on a old car lot here that I'm eyeing up for some strange reason.  Has some plastic hub-caps on it now. 

Thinking either LeMons car or beater.

Had an 83 that was was my first decent car.  Red, stick.  Regretted selling that one.  Unique offering for sure.

Our covid overflow hospital at state fair grounds has 8 people in it. Holds 600.  Our governor thinks we need, and is sending in 45 additional army medical doctors to help out.  Fucking brilliant!  Fuck off Evers you dick. 

Worst man to ever hold the office.  

My 04 was terribly fat, reflashed to 06 spec in 06, that was likely the best tune with some safety margin.  Last year with my 240 pound ass, windshield bag full and two saddlebags stuffed it still hit 100.  Just short of 10000 miles, motor never been cracked open.  1'' track.  That said, out of the box, I think the 03 had it.

Please report back on the press experiment!

It looks like JDELS is the " WOODPILE KING " of FS.com. 

I only had that much one time, about 7 years ago.   

I cut mostly for grounds maintenance.

He must be burning wood for primary heat source.

Holy shit, he's got a lot of wood there, and neatly done.  

LOL.  I burn about 5-6 cord a year, thats whats in a section.  If I don't stay a full two years ahead the oak it a bitch on creosote.  It accounts for 80% of my heating needs.  The lower level has in floor after I raised the place but did wood only for about ten years.  With the price of natural gas it hardly seems worth the work anymore.  Speaking of work-- This was a project. 

Woodshed only full for a few months a year.  80% oak 20% maple.  6 cord a section.

Kicker of overflow on the side.

And some pine for outdoor fun fires.

Give it till Wednesday.  LMMFAO.

Anyone pick up any great gee-rage shit with all your time off?

No but I do now have some harbor freight jackstands to take back on recall.  Check out the recall, be hell to get smooshed.

Act like a prick get treated like one.

I would guess ghost toast, white as white can be for toast with a thick swirl of orange marmalade. Final answer.

I concede.  

I would guess Trumps toast is a nice medium dark.  Unsalted butter and just a nice spread of strawberry jam.  Yup.  

Don't worry little fella, I've been around since FS1.  You used to present good debatable points of view.  Personal responsibility and all that.  And although I rarely agreed with anything you said it was at least intellectually honest.  You've jumped the shark and quite frankly your input here is pretty stale.  Blather on though, it's all about freedom.   Nice try on the sexual reference.  Not even close.  You haven't had the balls to respond to anything so I figured I'd drop to your level.  Seems to have got your attention.
