Re: Taking a vintage sled on a long haul!!
A couple years back I did a fifty mile solo on my 300. Mid week, nice day, did not have any one to ride with me. The route was never more than a mile from a road so it wasn't too remote.

Re: Taking a vintage sled on a long haul!!
Myself and four others did a ride last week, decided to call it "ride with the chumps" due to all the mis haps and break downs..hope you Deere guys don't sue for copyright infringement....

Finally got out of bed today!!
Re: Taking a vintage sled on a long haul!!
My personal best was 148 2 years ago on a Carter, WI club run. (Lunds Snowbirds Club) So my windshield broke on the way up to the HOF this morning, driving into a 20ish MPH wind @60ish MPH . ( Shoulda took it off) I'm glad they still make them for my Sprintfire, but I'm still sad, although my ride has never gone into the wind faster than 52.5. With the -2F temps & high wind yet I won't be heading out to the fish fry that I've been trying to make for many years. Hoping to see some of you tomorrow, but there is a lot going on up here as many of you know. Later!
