Whoowho!! I hope all my gear is dry by then! Rough day today on the Iowa trails. Put 90m on in the misty rainy crap. I will say though the Klim wear was flawless, stayed perfectly dry under it but the gloves,helmet,and tunnel bag are a different story... left grip heater took <font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font>* halfway through the day so I need to get that looked at before we leave but other than that today just proved I am a western rider trapped in the flats of Iowa.

<font color="119911">While I'm really looking forward to the trip, I have not done a thing to prepare yet other than have my oil delivered. LOL
Better get my list of things to do going. Still trying to get my head around the bogging thing my M is doing. I have a few things to look at trying. Grrrrrrrrrr</font>

What did you find out with your clutch? What made it come apart? I want to know what to watch out for. lol.
I got a little taste of powder on the x/fire up north, but it really just made me want the real stuff even more. I can't wait to get this thing out west. Never been on a sled so easy to toss around!!

<font color="119911">One of the three rollers in the spider and a good chunk around it let go. It had been cracked for awhile and it was ready to go at any time. I'm glad it happened before I hauled it 800 + miles!!
I turned the Attack 20 around to the climb position, MUCH better! Now I just have to be careful on braking well in advance.
I know what you mean about bangin through the powder. I was able to get up to Rockland a few weeks back with cuzzinolaf and do some riding.
I think we are down to 15 days to go until we are in the Snowies?</font>

I would say just keep it to the bar the whole time no bogging then right? Did it bog with the old clutch? Anything change between the new one and the old one? Compared to Daves your bog is nothing though. 14 days then you can ride the snot out of it it'll be a fleeting memory after the first powder filled meadow!
<font color="119911">Yea, it had a little bog to it with the old clutch too. I think adding the can made it a little more dramatic.
I did a search on SW and found a few quick things to try before we go west that won't cost any $$ to investergate.
It's not a big deal,,I hope!</font>

I talked to Dave H and Wayne they both have a little bog like that since they put cans on their 700's. Hookers out for next week he will be moving so it will just be 9 of us. Wayne sunk his in the river today only knee deep but took a while to get it out I guess. Al got his beacon and probe today thought he got a bad one till he figured out the batts they sent were dead... Picked the Dragon up Saturday and took it for a quick spin sure nice to have both heaters again. Fisher got old iron sides out for a confidence ride today and said all is well after removing the accs. 8 days you ready ?
Here is a video of Wayne sinking his.

Ha HA Damn you found that fast!
<font color="119911">YUP.
Changed out weights today and started the gathering of stuff that will go. This week is going to drag on forever.
I will be business traveling Wednesday and Thursday so that should make it go a little faster.
I"m meeting up with cuzzinolaf on Wednesday to pick up his beacon. He graciously asked if I wanted to take his along. We are going to strap that on WJ and give him some lessons so we can ALL be safe.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!</font>

Carlton, Just make sure you don't need to use it. Be safe out there.
Cruising you tube and I typed in snowmobile and it came up just after he sent me the pic on my phone. Changed my weights today and checked the track tension and chaincase oil and gave everything a once-over, cleaned out the truck so we will all fit for the ride out just need to load a few tools. The only place WJ is safe is in the parking lot....
Forgot to give you guys the snow report from my buddy last week. As usual the snow is best on the back side. Waist to chest deep on top of a rock hard base. Very wind blown up top. Bare road going across libby flats. He said they droped in behind the Quealy warming hut, hopped off to take a leak and went right up to his chin so theres definitly plenty of snow. They got fresh every day they were there with more coming on the day they left. Should be great, but be carefull. Avy danger is still high!!
