I"M BACK!!!!! 300 miles in the U.P.!!!!

[welterracer]

First off id like to thank all that told everyone else to stay home this weekend .... NO TRAFFIC and Trails in the U.P. were AWSOME...

I went to houghton on friday and saturday riding... with my warrior and man was i LOVING IT!!! This sled is AWSOME!!!

It has it all.. Electric start.. reverse....High speed Stability like no other!! and TONS AND TONS OF POWER!!! NO SKILIFT!!!!! has some push in low speed 90degree corners but that was to be expected as it is a 136 track... I really loved the 6 inch woody dualies as they gave me excellent cornering and NO darting..

My brother was riding his sled and was having a tough time going 65+ as he has no studs and the rear of his sled sways back and forth on the soft snow... I let him ride my sled for 10+ miles and Man did he love it...
He wants one bad.... He couldnt believe the ride and stability.. HIS Quote... (At 75 i felt like it was so effertless that i could read a book while riding...

My brothers buddy CHAD who ownes both a 98 srx 700 and a 00 sxr 600 rode my warrior also and HE couldnt beileive how light the sled felt on the trails and he only weights 170lbs... He also loved the POWER and how stable it felt...

It is a sled that you have to lean on.... Once masted you can run with anyone ...

It is surprissing how differently i had to set up the suspension to get it to ride the way i wanted... I have the limiter straps set to full weight transfer and the center shock tightened 1/4 inch over stock and the clicker on full soft... and FRA set at full soft and still it almost never bottomed while yet giving awsome ride quality....

This thing bridges high speed studder bumps and ripples like there werent even there!!

Must be the blue snow flap mod that made them all jealous of your sled. :lol:

We left Honcock Friday evening. Ambulance and a bunch of sleds/people were around the river/bridge on the hancock side. Did you hear anything about what happened?

Thanks for the report, I can not read enough of them. HOW am I going to wait until spring if you guys keep loving this sled?
Glad to here you like the ride. It is realy my only concern, I do not need snocross capable bump handling, but I want 200+ mile smooth and stable.

I also just got back from the UP. We stayed in Greenland and rode the Keewinaw same as you. It was awesome. No sleds and plenty of snow. My Warrior was just as you said. I didnt play with the suspension at al yet. I wanted the shocks to break in. Did you run the 13 loop between Twin Lakes and Greenland?

Let me know next time you guys go up, I could probably join you for a day or something.

On saturday we rode from hougton to copper harber and sunday we rode to greenland and then did the trail 13 loop... SWEET..

I only saw one warrior up there it was blue with black traction brackets and blue shock covers!!


THe first day i got 16.1 MPG at a avarage speed of 55mph as my brother didnt want to be so sore that he couldnt ride the second day..

Sunday i got 13.2 MPG running an average speed of about 70 with alot of Full throttle blasts on trail 3 for miles on end...105MPH on the speedo..OVERREVING AT 10,500

It was costing me about 3 dollars less for gas at fill up time compared to the two guys i was riding with...

I had studied John dees site for a week before going and even thought he said it was bad i caluclated that over a few days they would have a total of 4 aditional inches of snow and when we got there it was even better than we expected...

Dont ever beilieve what you read!!!!!

[doggin303]

That was probably me. Check the pick. I don't believe I had the bags on though. I only used the bags when I went towards Hurley.
