Holy Crap! I thought that was Tonya Harding on a snowmobile and was gettin ready to yell "RUN NANCY RUN! RUN M1984 RUN!" Then I looked closer and seen that this girl was not a trashy scum bag that lives under a trailer....

I went on a ride with a buddy who has a couple early 80's polaris sleds. We went just before Christmas. Those older sleds drew more attention at the watering holes than the new shiny ones did. After 110mi day, I would have traded the suspension on any of those newer ride though. My back ached for a day after we were done. Fun to take them out though. My mom said a water main broke on the top of "the hill" in Duluth, which is one of the emergency routes. When it freezes tonite, it will be a big brown icy mess. Not good. It is misty and drizzle here, but still 35*, could be a mess tomorrow.

I checked with a few snowmobile fanatic friends, told em i was looking to pick up something for the kids to ride & this is what one of them came up with.
550 bucks, I think we already got our money's worth out of it with our big ride yesterday.
I wish I had brought the camera with.
Many of you would have gotten a kick out of our northern border between the US & Canada.
It's definitely a friendly border
there are these little monument markers every so often, one side says united States, the other side says Canada.
we went around one on the Canadian side
so, we went to Canada yesterday, for about 5 seconds.

Hey , the way my knee still feels today and the cuts , dents and lumps slowly healing on my face and elbow , no more Tanya jokes please I did tell the guy at the gas station that looked at me kinda funny this morning as I hobbled in that " My wife had a dream last night that she was Tanya Harding " He didn't buy it though

T , I think those " seats " back then were for when your legs or knees got sore or tired and you stopped to take a break The kickstand was cool though to run the crud out of the bogies so it didn't freeze.

I'm looking for a long track, maybe a little more newer. Anybody got anything? Here's a few from our Shooterville weekend: Traveled there on these: To put up this: Installed a few trinkets - A picture of a dude with his fly down: And a Giant Lure I won at the TIP Banquet: Dave, you did stop at customs, right?

A few months from now ( spring time ) I'm guessing the posts will hit the big 3K This is advance warning for you Mrs ND , Weezy , Cap'n bangflop'em , and even the preacher ( or Runs with scissors ) That speeches will be asked for and also from the virtual family this thread has spawned. Figgered Dave could use a practice run here at 2500 milestone

nice beaver craig!! looks like you got some red oak in the wood pile? we've got oak at home here but 28 miles away at camp chickenbuck there is no such thing. my best firewood is birch & tamarack out at chickenbuck. shooterville is looking good, nice sleds too. Phil, I'll see if I can assemble some meaningful words to flop out here tomorrow my brain is resting at the moment

Gotta make sure your beaver stays away from your Viagra clock. Got an otter and a muskrat coming soon. This years wood pile is 1/2 burr oak and 1/2 birch. The pile behind is one year old - all burr oak. I like it two years old before I burn it. Seems best around then. When I lived in Waskish I always tried to get black ash. Mixed 50/50 with birch it seemed a lot like oak. Named ash for a reason though. Stove needed a lot of emptying. The sled I'm shopping for is for kiddo. Really, I'd like to find a mid 90's long track, maybe 2000 miles for about $1500, maybe $2k for a nice one. 500 or better, liquid for the big bucks. 500 classic touring would be the bomb. Anybody?

I think your price in mind matches what you are looking for very realistically.
Check out craigslist, MN, fargo moorhead area. covers a much bigger area than you would think.
if I see anything like that up here i'll let you know.

43 degrees here this morning. Might see 50 before the end of the day. I have a lake at the end of my driveway from the melting snow.

We used to do that on wheelers up at my buddies cabin. Quite the rebels we were.
