"IF" I can do the run on a 340/s, I want to try the challenge on a 295/s...with bogies! (Or bogie-slide, but since I don't have one of those yet, I will go with bogies, baby, bogies!) Campbell was making good time on an 800 a few years ago, so with groomed trails it looks doable.
Troy, is the Mrs. going to do the local or womans ride? Linder tells me Mrs. Brian intends to ride. I am trying to get Cari to to do one of the shorter rides on her Sprintfire...after I rebuilt the motor of course:>)

PS: I hope Brian gets some sleep before this years induction cerimony...

Re: Ride with the Champs: Vintage Challenge 2012
Joe,
Yes, Amy is planning on doing the women's ride on that Saturday aboard the 78 Liquifire 340. She is looking forward to it. In Lindner's defense, if you pulled the rope on a 340/S as many times as he has you would be tired too!
Kenny,
The 295/S turned out to have some "tippy" characterics! If I ever decide to run the VC ride on it I may have to install some training wheels! Is Tucker going to join us this year?

Re: Ride with the Champs: Vintage Challenge 2012
Troy: Cool to hear Amy wants to ride a Liquifire at the HOF. Good point about Brian, I forgot out his 340/s work out program.
Lindner: That pic is proof that the correct belt is not always the right choice! I still need to put the correct 'wide belt' driven on that sled to have it as back up. Not sure what Nick was doing, but it's a funny pic. He may join us again this year too.
Grumpy: You riding a sled or going to run support this year?
