Sorry i missed this, I was up north. We went riding on saturday on the Swampsiders trails in big fork/Cocheran trail for about 2.5 hours. and then on sunday ran the Taconite. One of our sleds the gas gauge wasnt reading right and i filled it up a bit before we left, it looked pretty full, but boy was i wrong. after doing about 45 minutes on the taconite we decided to turn around and head back to my parents, about 15 minutes on the ride back my sled ran out of gas. hahaha. So i had to take our other sled back to the gas station and pick up some gas and can. We were out for about 3.5-4 hours. hahah.
I really want to get a new sled soon, Really want a polaris Rush. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/rvs/2123182337.html Talk about losing value fast, last year new these sleds were over 10k.

Im going to bigfork this weekend.. How was the riding up there? I hear they are getting around 24 inches this weekend.. Ill prob hit the tacontie as well. Tom let me know when you go up next time so we can plan something!

Thanks Shawn for the invite! Just a great day of riding.

Trails were fast and smooth for half the day, the way back was a mix of smooth sections and bumpy sections but still didn't have a problem opening it up on the way back ;)

No bare areas, all snow so that was awesome! Would ride down there again in a heart beat.

The trails were awesome. Taconite was nice, not too busy, only saw maybe 4 groups. There was a section before 65 that was pretty much all ice, but other than that it was smooth sailing. Looks like they had been doing some logging around there but all in all good ride.
we are planning on going up the 2nd or third week in january.

You must be referring to the "beastly" 600 XC that MattD was taming. He got that big-block to fly through the air near the end of the ride!

Dont have a cabin I graduated in Grand Rapids. My whole dad's side lives up there. I usually stay with my dad, friends or at the girlfirends mom's house. But I know where scenic 7 is and have been down it but only on 4 wheelers. It's prob 10 to 15 mins away from my dads...

We should have a mitsustyle sled drag. Find some lake and have a path made and race like a dyno day. I will try to go next time. I need to find a truck and trailer.

Race sleds are very nice but to high in maintenance. Was going to buy one till I found out there's a lot more then just turning the timing down and switching the heads for a real trail worthy sled. They talk about cutting the front suspension down, making grease points etc.. I wasn't going to do that this year maybe next year tho.. Any who sled looks awesome!


Depends on what kind of sled your talking about but to just trail ride a race sled is not whether IMO!
