Going to do a garage in the Stevens Point area. 25x40 is the 1000’ sq ft max I can go.

I tried to dry it out for day 2, but it just wasn’t happening… I’ll be sure to look you up!

Yes I do!! Remember how my SKS was running like shit because the intake behind the windshield was plugging up? I barely made it from Finland to the Trestle on a full tank of gas! (Yeah, that’s my SKS in the middle of that pic) Ran good after I realized what was going on, I had just bought...

Try to do at least one and usually two 10-day trips a year. Try to plan the middle weekend around a club trip (ours does 3-5 a year) so I can give someone a care package to swap out clothes and restock the oil supply. But that’s not always the case, and plan accordingly. One of my favorites...

1981 comes to mind - but yeah, not sure we could have two more polar opposites of a winter in back to back years. Crazy!!

They could have ran it last year. There was plenty of snow all the way. My how one top-3 all time crap winter makes everyone forget less than 12 months ago. Nice video for sure! Without all the latest and greatest gear we have today.

It’s not hard to not over heat. We all know what temp the thermostat opens, and what temp it tends to cycle around as it opens and closes until all heat exchangers are at operating temp. On the Axys it’s really easy to feel when the return line on the rear cooler is warm, or simply shut her...

Start mine every 2-3 weeks bringing them to full operating temp, all coolers hot, all year around and haven’t had any issues since 2014 when I started doing that with fuel injection. I start them half full of gas in early spring after the last ride and add a gallon or two until full and run...

I’m generally as optimistic as they come, but this provides ZERO optimism. 6-8”? Who we kidding - after that hits thawed ground it will be lucky to make 4-5” and they ain’t grooming or rolling that.

ALL trips cancelled - I hate to say it, but I don’t know why anyone would hold out hope for a specific area. If you wanna ride this year you gotta be mobile. Even the double secret probation go to’s don’t have much this year, and what they do have won’t be here in 10 days.

Drove down to Portage yesterday and threw down a couple hundred south and west through many areas Indy had over the weekend from the sounds of it - only a couple dozen sleds all day and a fair amount of grooming being done. Too bad they shut most of it down this morning. Probably about it for...

And all those Sconnie trails got widdled down last night, and will probably all be closed by the weekend. Glad I ran over to central/southern Sconnie and rode the last four days - may be all I do this year if something doesn’t change drastically. There’s still 6-8 possible weeks left, but they...

Most likely people without a garage or a renter who didn’t research doing their own charging, just went blindly into what we have been doing with gasoline: drive up, fill and go. Not so much with these EV’s. Realistically you need a 220 service for a good home charger, and most homes, and...

Post Christmas the 26th of December 2018 north shore - was maybe 8-10” on the ground, just enough to keep the slides cool and the carbides clicking. This pic, by midnight the 28th there was about 28”, and it snowed another 8” over night. Yeah, we were stuck there for a week until the parking...

If the wind they are predicting follows, it will all be in the ditches by the end of the week.
