I had a great time riding the Blue Mountains of South Eastern Washington this past weekend with Silver Streak, his wife and Jonny Rocket.

There was plenty of fresh powder to go around and everyone got stuck a time or two. We busted powder, boondocked and climbed mountains until we ran out of day light.

I must say that Silver Streak's Bender turbo impressed me very much. There was a hole I had one heck of a time getting out of and he went around me and literally HAD HIS WAY WITH THE MOUNTAIN (repeatedly-while I watched) and he made me feel like I was on a 340!

Thanks for the great hospitality Mr. & MRS. Streak

Since I can't figure out how to attach more than one picture at a time here's another one titled "TOO MUCH TURBO"?

Ok, only one more! I promise!

Here's one of my sled with the new M7 skid. It sure looks like it has something longer than a 151" since the new skid was installed.

Man what a bonehead! It seems to be a contest to see how many things i can do at once. I think I found the limit.

I don't know what's worse?

Responding to my own posts or forgeting to actually attach the picture?

TRXSTER, It worked great. It's amazing how the sled floats now at slower speeds. Thanks for the help. Did you ever figure out a final setup for your rear skid settings?

I put a much more detailed report on the post regarding Arctic cat skid settings.

Yes it was RXFun.

Do you want to come next time?

PS: I don't think the people down their were used to seeing too many Yamaha's. When they'd see three fourstrokes you could almost hear them saying "look ma there's the future".........................................

Lee, nice pictures :Rockon: . I noticed you don't have any pictures of Jonny posted though. BTW, how did the red carb springs perform for you?

Jim,
Jonny isn't in the pictures yet because the pictures are too big. Let me see if I can shrink one and put it on here. He wasn't having a particularly good day because his turbo was AFU again. I sure hope the gremlin that is causing him (me too) grief is found soon.

The red springs? I had them with me but the silvers work so dang good I honestly haven't even tried the red ones yet. The silvers are just so much more linear feeling than the yellows were (for my application). Thanks again. I will try them but just haven't yet.

Thanks for posting those pics. Saturday was the best riding I've had in a long time. Man it was good!!! And as you can see, I found a hill I couldn't get up on the first try. Gotta love that!!!
