The 1st annual 'HCS Banned' group ride.


Recommended Posts

After a few hours in the truck and a few beers at the track I had an idea yesterday... who's up for the 1st annual 'HCS Bannedgroup ride next winter?  Maybe we can pick a weekend in January between SX rounds, head up someplace into Northern Wisco with snow where a few of us know the trails well, book a hotel and do some riding and socializing.  Thinking hats or t-shirts might be a funny idea too.  :)

  @fortune46x said he's in last night.  Who else is in?  @Bontz @Doug @Badger** @XCR1250 @Zambroski if your wife lets you get another sled or you could borrow one of mine if you sign the waiver, avoid Culvers and stay sober.  :lol2:

this is a Croc's optional event

Best bet it for all to jump into one of the famous HCS “Brisk rides”.  I can’t fucking wait until next winter!!!!!!!!  

how about we base it the first year by the state with the most banned members, and as usual Wisconsin is kicking Minnesota's ass.  :bum:

I just bolted a comet 94c on my newest turbo. Took it right off my 72 cheetah. 

Figured why not, since you just let them over rev for peak performance

I'm not opposed to anything like this ... it's all a matter of me getting back in the saddle for next season (which, I better freaking be riding again!) and the timing of when/where we do this vs. what I might have going on with the daughter's sports stuff.

The money and time you just saved yourself by realizing clutching is irrelevant is huge!

Good chance I’ll be residing in WI next year anyway.  However, the MN arrowhead is about the best riding around.

I got zero miles in this year, so i feel your pain.

But on the plus side, i introduced my nieces to riding on a 72 kitty cat, and they love it. That's better than any riding i could have done

Got banned from your own state?

Why not just get over the whole HCS thing and have a 1st annual FreedomSledder ride. Just about everyone here is former HCS, whether they were banned, or left on their own. I've got a shitload of US and Canadian FS stickers that I'll send to whoever runs FS rides:dunno: 

We’ve done several rides from Fs-TBP-HCS members.  Guys came from Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontario , CT, Mass, NH, etc. all show up in Jackman.  Good times.

Did a HCS ride back in 2012.  Guys from Jersey, MN, Saskatchewan, and WI all met up in Bergland MI.  If I remember we put on just over 1100 miles.  Met up with Bontz over in Cable WI.

Years ago did a NY ride with the Trail Conditions crew, like 2000-2001ish for a few years.  Bobby NJ has been out to ride with us several times, and we did that Polaris video ride back in 2013 I think, where we had a film crew chase us and Levi Lavalle around for 2 days, that was really cool.  Good times.

Good for you!  Wisconsin is 1000 times better than this f'ing communist state you used to call home.  If my kids were old enough to be on their own, and I could count on working remote without fear of losing my job, I'd move back to the Chippewa Falls area in a heartbeat (I have family over there .... including my sister and her husband who run their brewery/distillery there & freaking love that place).

This could be really entertaining if we can make it happen! :thumbsup:

Believe it or not, I think that ride you did with Levi was back in 2016 ... hard to believe how fast that time goes.  That is, if that was the ride where you guys got to ride the new Assault in the AXYS chassis?  At least I thought that was the trip?  I wish I would have flown out there for that one - it sounded like a great trip.

Between all of the Michigan HCS rides that Sled Solutions Paul use to put on, the Axys ride in MN back in 2014 and the few times that George and his son Nick came over to GM to ride with me and a few of my buddies, I’ve ridden with and met a LOT of people from HCS over the years. Hell, almost all of my current riding gang came from there when I first met Paul back in 2005.

I remember at the time I had an AC XF1100 turbo, so that puts it 2012-2013.  I knew there was another ride after that, that Bobby went on as well.  They gave us all some sweet OGIO mongrammed gear bags and a whole bunch of swag...very cool.  Put us up for 2 nights and fed us as well.   Levi was super cool and just hung with us like a regular Joe.  Showed us some of his injuries....yikes.
