Since someone decided to erase the longest running thred ever, I thought I would start a new one. ZRTforme you out there? My thumb is startin to twitch a little. How did you like the new sled after a full season? Been thinking about one of those Asault contraptions. Maybe with a different track.
Nobody is setting up there rides for next year yet ?

- Start date
I was looking for this post also. Getting the thumb twitch also. Spent the weekend on the sandbar with ZRT4me talking sleds and planning the 09 rides. ZRT picked up an M7 this spring and is absolutly ready to ride. I picked up a Dragon 700 last year at this time and put about 1000m on it out west and I love it. We are headed out in January and Febuary with a wildcard trip in March or April depending on the snow. Last season was fantastic our January trip started with 36" of fresh snow when we got there and it kept snowing the first two days, honest to god chest deep snow by day 3. The febuary trip saw hard packed conditions with pockets of powder but still fun none the least. April was the the most perfect snow I ever had the chance to ride 24" fresh the day before we arrived with another 12-18 the first day we were there the second day we had the mountain to ourselves it seemed untracked meadows of fresh everywhere and some great climbs in total fresh powder I didn't want to go home but what a way to end the season.
Ordered some new stuff for the M7 but haven't started wrenching on it yet. Going to tune the clutching with some new springs this year, port the track, and maybe some new skis or a Boss seat.
Daughter was given a Formula S with a blown motor.
Got most of the parts and she keeps hounding me to get it fixed so she can ride it this year!
I always say winter can't come fast enough. But, with this busy summer it feels like it will be here before I know it.
Working on the sled hauler this week. Getting rid of the rusty rims and putting aluminum ones on. Tire store nearby gave me a heck of a deal. (couldn't pass it up!)

Sorry Nitro, I thought it was zrt that picked up the Dragon. It's been a while I guess. All I could remember about the thred was green writing and ZRT " for me". Anyway, made one trip to the snowies and my riddin buds made another out to Alpine, which is a little south of Jackson Hole. They said it was untouched powder around every corner for miles and miles. Not sure if it was just the exceptional year or if it's like that all the time, but we figure we'll give that a try again this year and find out if it was just a fluke or not. Long drive though. 26 hours in the truck!!

My M6 is in the garage now, its been there since I cooked it last March. Got the new track in last week, (powerclaw162), got killer deal on a replacement top end. Redesigned the tunnel extension and shedded some more weight. Oh almost forgot, bought back my old Summit X6. I'll try to put some pics in later if anyones interested.

Post some pics up Dave!
I will be putting a set of Powderhounds on my RMK, and my brother has added a boss seat, 2 wheel axle kit, ceramic coated his stock pipe, Skinz ultra Q can, and Straightline Performance y-pipe to his 08 M8. Can't wait for December and the first ride of the year!

<font color="119911">Skylar,
Can we talk sometime about hooking up around Twin Lakes? I know that the riding areas you guys have up there are about like area 51 but I need some people to ride with closer than Wyoming and would take any suggestions on good spots to start out.
Shoot me an e-mail some time.
Thanks,

The last 5 years we've brought our sleds to Duluth for the Sno Cross, then we goto my cabin near Lutsen. I think we're at 2 out of 5 years where we've been riding Thanksgiving weekend. When we ride it's on fire roads with a minimum of about 8" of snow. Each of the two years with snow I've seen the same folks out riding.
For the last two years my brother and I have been the first to arrive for the season at the Trestle Inn (www.trestleinn.com) via snowmobile.
The Yukon trail is very rocky so this past year we rode there on a Friday night and sent really slow as there was about 12" of fluffy stuff but lots-o-rocks. That night it started snowing and didnt' stop until 48 hours later after which we had 20" of new snow. What a great year we had last year in Northern MN, at least near Lake Superior.!!
Hopefully this year provides for more "once in a lifetime" dumps of snow. We experienced 12" overnight snowfalls on 3 different trips north this past riding season....

Dave, what did you do, run the Boondocker box a little lean?
Also, you will have to let us know how the new track works out.
Nice job on the tunnel modification also.
Zrt4me, yea, when the season gets closer maybe we can hook up for a ride or something.

Thats the plan, and I also plan on runnin' it backwards, for max grip. For the portin',I don't plan on going as aggressive as I did on the A20. We'll see how it works, I'll keep everyone posted.
<font color="119911">Sweet,,,let me know the pattern you use. The last track on the sled had the same pattern as in your picture with the two outside holes over the rear track wheels. I'm thinkin thats not the way I want to go??.
I'm just nervous about stickin holes in this thing.</font>
