Re: Saint Germain Update Thread
Well I just returned home from the rwtc weekend. We put over 200 miles on between Friday and Saturday. I rode the sportfire Friday, and the liquifire Saturday. The only trouble with the sporty, was a bent ski spring.the snow pile I hit at wide open, and launched four feet in the air, was hard on equiptment. But other got a laugh out of the sight! The liquifire ran great on the vintage challenge, except for a pesky bushing in the secondary helix. It would pop out, and not let the secondary back shift. We fixed it with a hammer and a screwdriver, and returned back at the end of the day. My only complaint was the that my 350$. Liquifire made the trip, but the brand new New Breed Snowmobile Parts key chain sadly failed to complete the run. I wonders hat kind of warranty those have. I'll have to ask Matt. I'll post pics later. It was great to meet so many good people, and was fun to ride. Bee there next year for sure. Thanks to the Bennets, the Linders, and Rainvile for letting us tag along.

By the time we got to Sayner Saturday evening, I was pretty sure I had beat them off, and they had rolled out my pant legs!
Later that night, I had the wife run a full system diagnostic to confirm that everything still functioned.
