I've looked fondly at various sled lift options over the years. Just never bit the bullet. I have been using a heavy duty ratchet strap attached to the rafters. It works ok for a lot of the stuff I'm doing. It works quite well for skid related stuff. I just wrap one end around the rear...

The exhaust valve setup is interesting. I'm a little surprised that they did so much to this motor. It sounds like the motor has been compacted down quite a bit to sit low and tight. The intake/reed setup is different and the motor mount design sounds like it is purpose fit just for the...

Don't think that anyone has seen their production Catalyst yet. I can imagine why the die hard power fans aren't talking too much about a new mill. If you rode Yammie Cats, the new motor isn't going to create much hype. For years, all they had to do was check off a box on their order form and...

Thanks for posting the link @eao . The obituary tells a good part of what is was like to meet the man. (Char too.) The sign quote is very telling and true. "You are a stranger here, but once," @nytro_rtx , That sounds exactly like Gene. He would do a lot more than open the doors for...

He passed away last evening. It is hard to imagine how many people he touched over the years. He had a heart and character that affected anyone that met him. God used a little extra effort on Gene and it showed. There are quite a few stories and memories over the years at Bingo's. His...

It looks like you have quite the project. The terrain is an added challenge. I'm glad to see you are doing drainage on the high side. Even with the sandy soils, you will still have a lot of water flow. I have clay soil and a steep slope to the backside on my home. Water management is a big...

That is a pretty cool experience John. Right place, right time, and some luck added gave you an opportunity not many will experience. I have not been to Oshkosh. Friends that go talk about it with awe. Most of them are involved with old birds in some form or another and the Oshkosh is the...

They don't. They do have an interest in money.

We have certainly taken a strange approach to bringing EV to the masses. I'm not against the idea, but the implementation is seriously flawed. These big, fancy, feature loaded vehicles are a bad combination along with the idea that we can do long duration work without a quick repower. The...

I agree in theory with the statement. I used to do the recommended early intervals and then left them alone. I went for years and years without any issues. But, I've had a couple combinations that just didn't like to stay tight. First one I caught when I saw the wobble. It worked loose...

And I thought the clutching on my sled was complicated. ;)

It's interesting how many similarities there are with trail grooming and farm equipment. I can see down the road quite a ways with farm equipment high cab height. When they can do a clear pass I hang the shoulder to give them room. Some roads simply don't have shoulders. Those are tough and...

Very nice overview I have not heard of Bi Pap. Riding bud has used a C Pap machine for quite a few years. It has been a game changer for him. I don't ask a lot of questions, but I know the benefits are beyond just plain sleeping better. What I do see is noticeable. We normally base out of a...

Sounds like you live close by my location. I'm able to see the towers from my yard and TCAAP is just down the road. BTW, as a side note to the discussion. I probably put on about 100 feet of riding around home. That was all loading and unloading between trips. I could live in a snow desert...

Funny you mention that fact. I didn't use the ol noggin too well when I bought this home. The closest trail is about sixteen miles so I'm already loading up every time I go to ride. I usually figure I might as well go a little further once I'm loaded and ready to go.;) I'm joking around...

Cool topic. @indy_500 I'm interested how the riding was around Ashland? We drive through there but have not stopped to ride. It was odd to see more snow and less fishing on the bay this year. In fact, I'd say the snow across northern WI looked pretty darn good this season. It was tempting...

Honestly, it's not really a new thing to have limited orders. That seems to be the new norm with production scheduling. Last year was pretty much the same in that aspect. I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of the tight ordering process, but I guess it's what we have right now. I look at...

I sorta expected the supply to be limited. With that expectation, I set aside some time around the initial order time. The online ordering isn't new, but it was changed a bit this year. I wasn't familiar with how the process was supposed to work this year. I have to admit that I was getting...

Wondering if anyone else ran into the beater running down trail 3 on Tuesday. I've seen cars, trucks, and some questionable vehicles on the trail over the years. This one was notable for a couple reasons. . . It wasn't stuck. (First one I've seen that was still moving) It was on the trail...

Riders make the choice, it's not the sled. Riding off trail in closed areas with a loud can isn't an automatic function of the sled. It's too bad the discussion continues. We are talking about people causing the problem and we talk about it a lot. It's the old 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of...
