The slit is a good thing. When the RX-1 came out in 03, riders in extreme cold conditions found that snow dust would enter the air box and freeze up, causing pressure to build up and oil shooting out. I learned this the hard way when riding in -38C conditions. To correct the problem, all...

Some of the best races are done in the bar :-o

It was great riding with you guys that day. One picture from after the ride.

Too bad we missed you guys at the Vermilion Club. We were there from 17:10 until 18:30. Maybe next time.

Let's plan on the VC club between 17:00 and 18:00. It is a little more laid back and normally has a good atmosphere. Tom will probably get kicked out, but then we can post the story and pictures. I have your mobile phone number noted and will probably call and leave a message Saturday...

Quite a few guys added foam to their RX-1 seats with good results, so it can be done.

I've found that mileage varies quite a bit depending on the snow conditions. On a recent trip in the U.P., we rode one day in fresh snow and 100 miles was about it. On another day with hard packed trails, 140 miles and we were still good. Of course Gerby could chime in as he has the same...

We need to set a time range and it might be just for a drink. The group is coming from all directions and should be arriving at Deer Lodge around 14:00. We plan on doing some riding that afternoon. How about between 18:00 and 19:00? It has been 6 years since I've ridden in this area but the...

Great stuff. Looks like you had a very good trip.

That's quite a first post. Rather than venting, lets talk about possible solutions. For the rack, you need to go to your dealer and have them take care of it. That is how it works with Yamaha. Dealers report problems and Yamaha monitors the field reports to determine if they have genuine...

The guy at the Hot Dog stand showed us the pictures when we visited it on 18 January. Congratulations on your wedding.

He had to bail on us for very good reasons. We aren't really sure what our plans are right now but I suspect we will be down on Lake Vermilion having dinner Saturday night. It has been about five years since I was there, but seem to recall excellent pizza at the V.C. club.

Go long young man. Made the switch to a 136" track back in 2006 and I doubt I will ever ride a shorter track again. The longer track bridges the bumps much better, is more stable at high speeds, and provides more traction.

Stay in Ishpeming in the country village. There is a groomed trail spur from trail #8 that takes you right into the village. It is called a village but it is really a collection of shops, lodging, restaurants, and petrol stations. The Best Western there has a pool and hot tub. You are a...

That is a pretty good stuck. Glad you got it out safely.
