Past membership challenge

And don't forget all the teams that seem to have disappeared.

Many years ago there was supposed to be an epic showdown between Team Kesslers and Team Ring Ding at Tige's bar. We seemed to have peaked and jumped the shark at about that time (I think the weather pattern changed around then as well).

Hey Fuji, I was standing right next to you, PD and Durphee when the DOUBLE DOINK happened. LOL at PD's reaction. Sounds like if not this winter we all get to meet up next August eh?

Yes, Chatted with PD and I am planning on coming up this August for the occassion.

Way back 20 years ago I recall a Groomer Dave. He groomed the lakefront trail between Harvey and Autrain. I took a photo of him by the Casino

I do remember Groomer Dave! I've been a member since John lived on his own with his two labs, man time flies!... I don't post much...

Does anyone know what happened to Big Vin? Used to be on here alot.... would always see the Big Vin dollar bill up at the Vansville Bar and wonder where he went.

...and trail reports from the beer truck.... does he still post?

Last I heard, Vin moved to Nashville to pursue his music career.

 

[united]

Good for Vin. Pretty sure he wrote this song.

 

[gary_in_neenah]

Yup, there's Randy's name in the credits. Looks like he's popular with the ladies!

Great thread. Quite the walk down memory lane. Some real characters. Always thought it was cool that PD rode all night.

 

[rev07]

Cant remember who posted ride videos from rear bumper all the time??

 

[gary_in_neenah]

That'd be Tracker.

reason why I started it, memories and maybe reunite riding buds, get some of them back on here, really enjoy the.... remember's? and the oh yeah's?

 

[cooksend]

What about Lenny....he still kicking around? Didn't he move?

Occasionally we will have a Lenny sighting. Stumbled into him a Parkview a couple years back!

 

[cooksend]

Been on here since about the beginning. Remember the old platform?
Spent lots of days with Hiawatha Al and 2strokecoldsmoke in the backcountry.
I even bought Indy boobie cup cakes in Wyoming on his 21st birthday.
Lots of good times including the occasional ride with John.

Creeping up on 10 years since that awesome trip! Man times flies! Still to date my favorite trip and one I’ll remember forever.

 

[Skylar]

Many of the members you listed, I’m friends with on book face and they no longer ride.

Garyl62 was very active for a handful of years, haven’t seen him on here in awhile.

Cuzzinolaf and Thebreeze used to post a ton as well. Still both have sleds, just don’t ride nearly as much due to various reasons and both pop in here every now and again.

Olaf no longer has a sled.

Ah yeah, tracker, eh. Not sure but I think he had some medical issues of some sort. The same goes for the 'Bear guy' from the Keystone state?

Yeah, well okay, my stroked brain just rebooted! Takes longer sometimes, eh? So mbs was the 'bear guy' I used to really like to read his at home bears stories! As I remember he was from PA., but made snowmobile trips to Mich.? Anyone know how mbs is fairing, he also seemed to have some health issues?

 

[snoden]

The Bear guy is mrbb, he is from Pa. in the Pocono Mountain region.

You are absolutely right snoden! More of my stroked brain fade, eh! However have you heard anything about him lately?

 

[lofsfire]

I've lost track of all the people that I've ridden with over the years. Most dropped out when we had some low-snow winters. It's a niche sport, family changes, finances, kids sports, all factor in, and something's gotta give.

Here's a few from the website archives.
