    Big Horns Trip

    Well, we made it back from our trip on Wed. morning. Had a great time!! The new 600 RMK ran great, took out an a arm on a rock the first day though. Luckily the rental place at Bear Lodge had them so I replaced it. Although it will be a perfect sled for the type of riding I do, a 600 with a 144...

    My new ride

    Here it is. Just picked it up this afternoon and have 3 whole miles on it. Hope to go get 30-40 tomorrow night before I load it up and head to WY with it on Friday. Although it's only 20lbs lighter than my 06 it feels a lot lighter. I think the improvements they made to lighten up the steering...

    New sled - quick question

    Finally pulled the trigger on a new sled. Picking up a 2010 600 RMK 144" tomorrow and taking it west on Friday. So my question is I need to get a spare belt. I was looking online and see the belt for this thing is over $175. I also see the 600 IQ and Switchback run a belt with the same center...

    changing jets

    Holy crap, just got done rejetting my 06 600 switchback for going out west next week. They sure have made this a lot tougher than it used to be. This used to be a 15 minute job, now it took 15 minutes just to get the dang airbox out. Then another 15 minutes to get carbs to where I could work on...

    Duluth SnoCross pics

    Took my son to the snocross yesterday. We had a good time but it is a spendy event. $45 for the two of us to get in plus $10 for parking. Ouch!!! At least the beer and food was reasonable! Spent a lot of time watching them groom the track though. Kind of boring. They did have a flyover with 2...

    Track Change

    Just got done putting a new track on my wifes 500SS GTX. The track on it had 4800 miles on it and was pretty much worn smooth so I put a 1.25" on it now. Those Ski Doo track changes are a little more complicated than changing tracks on my Switchback. But it's done nowso my wife has no excuse for...

    Trail cam pics

    Got up to the cabin over the weekend and went out and grabbed my trail cameras. While I bow hunt up there sometimes I don't do any rifle hunting up there (maybe i should as our neighbors daughter shot a large 11 point about 200 yds behind our cabin.) So the camera pictures had 1 nice buck but...

    Flys, flys, and more flys.

    We have a fly problem in our cabin. Everytime we go up there ther are dozens of dead flys on the ground near the windows and dozens more buzzing around in the windows. How do we get rid of them? It's not an old drafty cabin or anything like that. Any ideas?

    Went back up to the cabin this weekend and while we didn't do anything to exciting we did get out and get some pictures of things. On Saturday we went to Split Rock Lighthouse and rode the bikes a couple of miles down to the split rock river. Funny thing is my son made it about 100 yds before...
