I HATE to admit it, but we had a couple of Doo's aalong with us. This one was built by a guy who used it to film out in the Rockies out west. All Kyle has to do, the guy who bought it, is just crack the throttle and that bugger will stand up like that EVERY time...NICE SLED for or local boonies round here.
But a majority of our group has "good taste!" and pre fer Yamis! "Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon"
Same guy as pic one but looked cool with all the snow flying around it.
We found a bunch of swamps and fields like this one where everyone had a great time!
This pic shows what an SX 600 going full throttle across a field does when it ends up hitting a pine tree after about a 400 yard run. The handlebars actually snapped and fell off to one side...naturally it had to be the side which pulled the throttle wide open. The driver bailed but REALLY DID try to find the kill switch before letting go.
The darn sled bounced around, the front end shimmied so much we were all hoping that it would flip in the snow before heading for the forest...no such luck.
It pretty much took out the entire driver side suspension, trailing arm, shock...you get the idea. After flippin'er back over and a little work on the stuck throttle cable--not to mention pushing the handle bars as far back into place as possible--believe it or not, the sled started up ad he drove it back to the trail...see later photo. Because he had VERY minimal steering control, we towed him back to the unload point and gotter back home.
Here's the sled and rider back a little closer to the grade.
Another Doo rider showing off. His sled is pretty mean. It really EATS the fuel, but it goes through almost anything.
Bobby decided to take what should have been the "quick" way off the Peshekee River and back up on terra firma. Unfortunately, the bank was just a LITTLE too hard. Took six guys to get the sled back over on the ice...He broke through on the edge, but luckily didn't go for a swim. His belt wasn't very happy but that was pretty much he extent of the damage.
After all that hard work, a hot dog picnic was just what the doc ordered before hitting the boonies for the rest of the afternoon.
