The trip to Grand Marais... lol

[charger0926]

Hahhahahaa!

Know EXACTLY what you mean Dude!
(Got the Attak from charger0926, he took impeccable care of her!)

So you know dude, the miles have been almost doubled, and Mr Sled threw a rock at her with his Supercharged sled...
(HIS fault! *points*)

Have worn the sliders off(replaced) & the bearings in the wheels are ready for replacement as soon as Nate returns her this weekend.
Blew the rear shock a couple weekends ago, Yamadog1 was good enough to let me borrow his.
The valving you had done on the rear shock is INCREDIBLE!
Works perfectly! Best riding/handling rear shock have ever had on a sled.
Know you said Pioneer did it, anything special I (or anyone reading this) should know about it?

The Attak & myself were the only rider/sled combo without issues on the fateful ride... lol

PS Glad I made everyone laugh & promise, >>>I<<< didn't jinx the trail...
(The others may have... lol)

yeah i sure do miss her.
i had pioneer just revalve it with my weight and a semi aggressive riding style and a 7.1 shock was it.

kinda surprised about the bearings going out on it already i replaced all of them before you got it with some decent brand bearings from my buddy at bearings inc.(applied industrial technologies) in centennial park in the fort.

the good thing is i should have a new sled by the end of the season to ride out here in the deep pow. thinking about a nitro mtx 153 or 162 and seriously thinking of going with a supercharger kit for it. also looking at a couple leftover apex mtx sleds i found.

glad to hear you are enjoying the attak and it is working good for you. put on a few miles for me, and get out here next year to ride some deep stuff with me, the views are amazing in the mountains.

Sounds like my last trip to the UP:

Staying at the root celler on Goegebic

head to ontonogon get to a bar and guy on ski doo 700 says its using coolant, look it over and it looks like the seal is bad

Hire a local with a pickup to take the sled and guy to greenland for repairs

ONE DOWN

We drive to greenland stop at the bar and wait for sled at the bar with the lady that has the fake....

Wait 2 hours he is renting a phazer

Mechanic calls later that night and says he thinks he found a bad gasket and the dealership in baraga has one but we have to get it.

Next day leave root cellar drive to bergland get gasket drive to greenland to drop of gasket

Go back to Henrys for lunch, back to greenland because sled should be fixed

Wait at the bar with the lady with fake ....


Mechanic said he fired it still using coolant. decided to keep phazer for night

Next day have to get back to greenland to turn in phazer back on the same trail from root celler.

Sled never did get fixed and we couldn't leave a man down so we packed up Sat and headed to Hurly in the truckto see more fake ... LOL

Gotta love sled trips.

Kinger, could you tell us more about this lady with the fake...
I will be in that area for the next 5 days and it sounds like, if we have any problems, she may be very helpful. BTW, I will be trying the Double Downs.

She is very helpful and you will enjoy her bar...The one right across from Pats service in greenland.
