Easter 2012 riding

[birkebeiner]

Went for some driving today, managed some 80 km / 50 miles, temps -10C / 14F. Here are some pics. Not really driving pics, but from the trip

Made my sled ready yesterday, took her out from the garage after mounting the OFT relocator and putting on 4" slim jim's. Instagram picture.

Another Instagram picture.

The OFT relocator installed

Stopped for a break on a mountain top. The view wasn't great due to low clouds and fog.

My wife, looks happy

More picture to come later in the week.

It's an iPhone 4S and it takes pretty good pictures. I keep it in my inner pocket so the cold isn't a problem.

Correct

Great to see you out on the Nytro!

Any impressions on the XTX versus the Vector?

 

[birkebeiner]

Thanks scmurs, and thanks for the relocator. It's piece of art

I really love the Nytro, it's the perfect sled for my driving The steering is light, especially after I mounted the relocator. The slim jim's eliminated almost all the darting. It's easier to handle than the Vector. And it feels much lighter. And with the lower lugs on the track the hyfax wear is a lot less as well.

This is the sled I wanted in the first place so I'm glad I traded in the Vector

My cousin trying out a friend's Vector shorty. Was around 50 cm snow and he managed to get stuck

A kid on his brand new 2012 Lynx (Ski-Doo) 600 ACE shorty. Also stuck

My wife trying out a new toy; a Bombardier Outlander (if I remember correctly) 800 with a track kit. It's a monster!! A friend's teen daughter on my XTX.

The weather got better in the afternoon, got blue sky and 0C / 32F

Funny to see the short trackers stuck on a flat lake!

Looks like you had a good time.
