Yes,
Dates: 15th - 16, 22-23, 29-30 December,
2 sleds
Can trailer anywhere

Who wants to 2-up with this guy? lol

I would like to go but I need to fix my sled first if anyone is interested. I flipped it last year at 80mph so it needs a tie rod end, sway bar, and the clutches redone. Anyone know how or have the tools to take apart the primary clutch to shim it correctly? I live in Zimmerman and the groomed trails go right over my driveway and off to the state land up here which are pretty fun. PM me if interested in helping fix a sled first and then we can set up some dates to go LOL.

So we have few takers, I am planning on cleaning up the carbs on the older sled and putting in some fresh gas this weekend. Hopefully we get more snow this weekend. As far as working on sleds, right now I have a bum hand so it hard to get me to work on anything. My plan for snowmobiling was to be a casual since I had surgery last week. For dates, what is everyone thinking?.. maybe next weekend?

I would love to go riding, Only problem is I just sold my sled. If someone had one I could ride, rent I would go for sure. Iam free every weekend.

95talonracer · 12-14-2012

Just filling everyone in, the trails were just groomed over my driveway and look like a solid base for some nice casual riding. I have parts coming but not too sure if they will all be here by this saturday

We will see what i can find locally.

I would possibly be down for riding up here on the trails by my house on the 23-24th if anyone is up for it. I should have everything done and running by then.

I am game for the 23rd, actually would fall in nicely with the preventive maintenance I need to do as well. I did not ride at all last year so the gas is 2 years old with stabil in it, going to drain the tanks on both sleds, luckily on one has efi so it should be pretty easy clean, gas, grease and go.

Also I have a sled (2000 polaris xc600 deluxe) to loan out but, if anything happens to it, you will have to answer to my wife as it is her sled.

Well I drove all over town today and got all but 2 of the things needed to get my sled back and running on the trails. Anyone know where I can get a sway bar end slide that goes on the trailing arm for an edge polaris chassie? After thats done then it is just to shim and adjust all of the clutching, clean, gas, oil, and go.

93gtpeater · 12-14-2012

Dennis kirck might have those sliders. So you guys are going on the 23rd?

95talonracer · 12-14-2012

Found someone with a slide so everything is taken care of on my part. I just need to wait for one of my carb adapters to show up in the mail, put all the parts on, and have one of my buddies come over and lend a hand on Sunday with all of the clutching.

95talonracer · 12-19-2012

I got my new sway bar in, new radius rod in, all my clutching is figured out good enough for now, fixed my bars that ere F'ed up from tumbling last year, fixed burnt out tach light, filled her up with petro, and took it for a spin. It rips but I still need to clean the carbs, install new carb boots, clean my exhaust valves, and maybe clean it and add more oil.

Who wants to go riding??????

simulatedwood · 12-19-2012

I am still game for a Sunday ride if there is snow. Just have to get my snowmobile reassembled after I managed to drop a hose in the tank while draining.. yuck.

95talonracer · 12-20-2012

Nice, keep me posted. The trails here have a nice hard base. There are some bare spots here and there but oh well.

simulatedwood · 12-22-2012

So sleds are ready, when are you thinking of riding tomorrow? Where should we meet? Excited to finally get a ride in.

95talonracer · 12-22-2012

Who all wants to go?

95talonracer · 12-22-2012

Anyone else want to go riding sunday around 12 noon?

95talonracer · 12-23-2012

Great riding today with simulatedwood. Besides a ticket snd almost hitting a horse on a trail, things were great given the snow conditions. Thanks for coming up! We will have to get more people together next time.

What a great time! Decent trails, crisp cold weather, and not many people made for some very nice riding. Thanks again for the invite! It would be great to see some more sleds for a ride.

And yeah the Maybury Sheriff Department is busy writing out tickets for failure to stop at stop signs.
