Couple More A few more from closer to the big lake

Love these guest shots - best work avoidance strategy I've found. How fast conditions can change! Posting just a few shots of a recent trip to the Keweenaw. Took the RMK for a little off-trail and the TX for trail riding LOL. Great treatment for the Lack of Snow Blues.

Couple more my favorites. Nice flamed old school merc. The Panther was really sharp, chrome pipes and all. The guy with the Charger and the cutter was back again this year. He gets my vote for the loudest pipes. Pretty sure that 530 pan exhaust could start a grass fire. Have some other...

For jr37 Made it out to Waconia for a few hours today. Knowing jr's fondness for Scorpion, it's too bad he couldn't make it. They were everywhere in all shapes, colors, and models. There's a lot to like about Waconia: It seems to be well run, parking is close, vintage sleds that people...

Cottage Grove, MN - On the local trails 12/31/2012. It was a good day. Whoops, posted in wrong thread. Not the last mistake I'll make this year.

To a lot of you this may be old news but I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed which might explain why I had problems with this installation. In any case, I wanted to share my solution in hopes of sparing some other poor soul the frustration. Having not owned a Polaris for several years I was...

The Man and His Machine I’m sure he will get even with me, even if it takes the rest of his life, but I thought the time was right to make one last post and put a face on this project. There aren't many photos of this fellow but I happen to have one. I plan to hoist more than one Hop City...

Nice Shots! I've used a sled photo that I got from Gary for a long time but I finally switched to this one. I don't know how I missed posting this in the "First Sled" thread. I think my daughter was about four at the time.

First “His and Hers” sleds: My 72 Skiroule RTX 440 and my wife’s 72 Chaparral SSII 400. Also pictured: My brother’s 72 400 Charger.

Mr. Snoluver1, you forgot this one.</SPAN> I love these photos. It’s a different experience for sure but there is just something special about climbing on one of these vintage “snow machines.” It looks really good on the snow. Agree with Doospunk, nice job men!</SPAN>

Strange indeed... Found a Contour mount that has a little more height which should let me mount it a little further back on top of the helmet to clear the modular shield. It's a little goofy looking and I'll have that Marvin the Martian look going on but if it gives me better video, it's worth it.

TeamElk, Nice Lynx! Love the look. The flag is just the icing on the cake. Glad to see that I'm not the only one thinking vintage this year. Get your purple and black gear ready. Maybe some of the JD crowd can get together for a ride. This little doggy will also be looking for playmates...

Phazerpilot should get a kick out of this effort. If this hood looks familiar, it was the first candidate hood for the Make-A-Wish sled. Fortunately we went on to find better material. The hood is being included with a vintage sled I’m selling so I decided to do the major patching on it just...

Trick or Treat A little late on this but had two machines snow checked and it took a while to get both of them squared away (you can probably guess which one took the longest). Went with the Retro look on both. Hoping for a good winter.....

Took these heading out of Lac La Belle and on the big lake on Thursday. The pictures don’t really do justice to the scenery. Peak or not, it is spectacular up there right now. The Maples are amazing. Kwikgren: Nice ski assortment!

You’re too kind, but I just couldn’t impose. This is a great idea. It seems like a tailor-made excuse to get in a little riding on the side, but officially (for the home front) it’s “work, work work”. Thanks, you too doospunk - wish I would have had more time to hang around For those of...

Sled Reveal Made it out to Haydays yesterday and finally saw the finished Make-A-Wish sled. I thought it looked great and was every bit as impressive as the photos. The high gloss paint gives it just a hint of custom look that sets it apart from the stock T’NT look. Also got to re-connect...

My wife and I made a journey to our hometown this week to visit the local cemetery, mostly to do a little cleanup on the final resting place of family members. Since my father, father-in-law, and stepfather-in-law were all WWII Vets, it seemed like an appropriate time. I’d like to think that...

After a several year absence, it looks like I'll be logging some seat time on a Polaris next year. This is pretty much Snoluver1's fault. Scrounging for a few parts for the Make-A-Wish sled gave me way too much time in the boneyards. I guess the rusted steel, bent and corroded aluminum, and...

These are great pics! Indy-500, glad to see you're part of the "Blue Man Group". Shot this one of my riding buddy last week on our first-ever mountain riding trip. To me, it just seems to say it all.
