I have no idea why but for some reason a shit load of people thought they need to try snowmobiling this year. And these boneheads are buying long track sleds to ride on trails or 800's 850's and I have a feeling there is going to be alot of carnage. We have already had some close calls with people riding on the wrong side of the trails this season. I went for one ride on my summit 154 on the trails and said fuck this....even though it doesn't have the narrow summit front end anymore it was a handful with the t motion skid....my little 600 etec is a great trail ripper.

I’ll drink some beers but since I quit drinking booze 100% I dont and can’t get nearly as drunk as I used to occasionally. I keep telling all these guys to leave the fucking booze alone when we’re riding but they don’t listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, 99% of all crashes have one or all of three commonalities... 1. alcohol 2. excessive speed 3. late at night Thats why I like to get out early and put away after dinner so I can drink safely! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One chick blew across the lake right into shore at about 85 and is lucky to be alive. One guy just got tossed by some RR tracks and hit the ground funny breaking ribs and puncturing a lung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really only do that when in the bush for some reason when I get high in the winter now I get cold unless doing something active and trail riding is not near active enough to keep me warm when high 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL How about a spring loaded 4 foot rubber arm, at about the average riders chest level. If it strikes you, that means you are too close. Remember the 6 ft. rule.
