For me personally it is all about balance between front and rear bite which is a combination of rider weight, track studs and ski carbides along with limiter strap and front ski shock pressure to get the best feel for the trail conditions encountered most. Where I ride in Michigan there are many lake crossings which can be tricky when bare ice, the trails can be very icy also at times. I prefer to use traction products on my sleds for most riding conditions. That being said, it is also fun to run unstudded track or vintage 2/3 cleats every now and then so that you can remember what it is like to have to always steer with the rear! Everyone has different preferences and typical riding conditions.

Very nice.

Prayers and positive vibes for Trackstand and Dierselgeek.

Love my 2002 for pulling the sleds. about 17 mpg in school bus mode and 11 mpg towing.

Lots of leftover port butt for the weekend.

We did last St. Pats, was so good had to do it again but used the rotisserie this time.

R.I.P. Godspeed Rob.

4 hour smoked butt on left, three- 5 hour smoked corned beefs on right. QUESTION: Is the plural of corned beefs corned beeves???

Congratulations Grandpa!

What kind of wood you using? Do you keep smoking it the whole time or just several hours in the beginning? One last question, can I come over for dinner!

Gotca, Go Green!

Gotta ask, what is a Walmart wolverine?

$25 Per sled (older, 2-01 zr600 and 1-99 zrt600) and $40 for 2010 legend 27' trailer, total of $115 per year on homeowners.

That brings back some great memories. (I didn't give a ship about manufacturer back then either!!!)

Not much hair left to raise! Got to meet a few HCS'rs that weekend. I remember something about a kiddie pool in the bar later that weekend????? Here is another I found. I think that is the back half of my Yukon in the pic.

Correct, Not sure the Sands has ever been the same. Had my appendix out just prior to the trip after a 10 day hospital stay so the sleds stayed home and we went up to get away rather than cancel. The first night up we went to the bar at the end of the hotel and it was pretty empty, they were making drinks like gasoline. It was like a game of pinball going down the hall to the total opposite end of the hotel. Good Times! I would be neat to organize another group outing like AOHL or SSGW.

Cadillac, Michigan.

Michigan trails are always a "crap" shoot, no pun intended. depending on recent weather you can have awesome powder but many times they get quite icy in which case you can't steer with the front or back. Have to have the sled set up for the persons size, style and ability by adjusting weight transfer, front shocks, carbide length-type and track traction. I used to love rear-steering the old 79 Pantera with the 3/4 cleats around corners, could even do a 360 in the right conditions! (not necessarily on purpose either!)

Wow, Nice!

All studded.
