Woodtick 8,743 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Let's not forget the Yammi 4stroke guys. They are like fucking Jehovah's trying to recruit you over to 4strokes. Total strangers at gas stops that can't even wait for you to get your helmet off. Telling you all about their fat pig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
02sled 731 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Two winters ago there were a group of about 5 stand ups that went screaming past us. A few minutes later we pass them as they are stopped for a smoke break. A while later they come screaming past us yet again and once again we pass them taking yet another break. This time... who knows. Maybe it was time to warm up from the extra cold they get standing up without a windshield. We do the leap frog another time or two and when we stop for a bite to eat... who comes in the stand ups. And then they complain about the spots where the trail was chewed up which was from people like them going dead stop to pinned throttle but boasting about how fast they managed to travel the trail. Kind of humourous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't run onto many of those guys up here. In fact, I can't remember even seeing a Viper. 11 minutes ago, 02sled said: Two winters ago there were a group of about 5 stand ups that went screaming past us.

I carry a stack of Yamaha brochures in the tunnel bag of the Viper. Can you spare a few minutes to hear about my Yamaha? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know, the guys that go out all day on Saturday, put on 25 miles and spend all day between two watering holes drilling up "seat warming tabs". Then...complain that sledding is getting too expensive. Fuck...the trail IS the destination for us. If we stop anywhere, it's for a quick bite of sustenance and a refuel. I might down one cold brew with a grease burger...but that's it. Hell, if I'm gonna drive hammered, I'm gonna roll in my big fuckin truck!

Woodtick 8,743 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The club I'm in heads out at 7pm. It has all night to set up. It's a remote area with very few bars and no hotels, so they can get away with it. Heavy traffic during the day,ghost town at night, no gas after 9pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We would still meet a few yahoos out there in the middle of the night on the weekends. I really enjoyed grooming, but it got to the point were I spent so much time in the groomer that I didn't ride my sled much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woodtick 8,743 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 They are paying our groomer drivers. We have a great group of retired guys that can use some walking around cash and they don't tear shit up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone just donated it back to the club so we did away with it. In my 10 years in the club we only had one guy that we had a problem with tearing up shit. After the third or forth time we sent him on his way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are only a few of the bigger clubs in NH that pay their operators. The money just isn't there for most clubs to be able to pay the operators. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woodtick 8,743 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The guy wanting a grand more than the sled is worth because it was a spring order or it is a limited edition.

Hey dumbass, you just removed almost everything that make that sled worth the extra $250 to me and anyone else wanting a retro, nightfire, or black widow edition.

The ones that groom our massive MN state trails are paid guys. And well paid I believe. All the others are club volunteers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
