How much riding tine have you gotten in so far?

Post by b00stinGTP »

Just curious to see how much riding you guys have been able to log. I've been able to get about 275 miles in so far. I just hope we keep getting more snow!

I was off to a good start on both Vintage and late model Cats. Put a few miles on the 78 cc, but over 20 miles on the Sprintfire just around the farms near me. Had almost 60 miles on my trusty old 02 Cat, until she lost a piston...rats!

Luckily I have the 99 Cat almost back together, thanks to a little help from Kudla!

I've put about 275mi on a 08 rev xp gsx 600 sdi. what a nice sled, lots of power,smooth ride. For long distance and cold riding, it needs a higer windshield with lip on it.


Still having fuel problems with the dator, someone said my new fuel lines,might be to long. still have to try the new fuel pump first though.

Over x-mas and New Years we put on over 900 miles in the U.P., We rode from Houghton to the north and ended up at the tip in Copper Harbor, Then rode south all the way into Wisconsin around the Watersmeet area,then back up to Houghton again.

We've actually had continuous snow cover since early December here in western Iowa. I haven't left my little 11 acres yet, but have a killer 1 mile course laid out on it. It's very rugged ground in the Loess hills with nice trails through timber, along terraces. and over dams. Actually alot of the area has lost much of their snow, but our little valley is well sheltered and shaded and hangs onto the snow far longer than other areas. If I get my JDX4 running well again I hope to head up to Shetek Lake in SW MN. Of course I haven't had "snow" in weeks. It's all hard pack ice now. I think you could skate on it. But I'm not gonna complain cause I still get to come in every night smelling of 2 cycle oil. AAAhhh---I love it.
