I know we beat this one to death, but we're all guilty of "stupid moments" and need to be reminded of the consequences repeatedly. Damn shame!

One of the guys I work with said the Otsego Co. hospital had three trucks loaded with sleds in the emergency parking lot sunday morning, not sure what happened but he said they where there most of the day so someone screwd up.

damn shame. i was back in grayling on sunday night and heard all about it and two more that happaned last weekend between grayling and fredric. i know exactly where this one happened and it's a blind turn that usually gets burned out. some people need to relax ,there's a time and place for hot doggin. i can't deny that i haven't done some silly shit, especially when i've had a couple "pops" in me, but never in the twisties. my reguards go out to his family.

lack of snow and icy trails
Ive been riding alot of years aprox24 yrs,seen anumber of deadly crashes,LOTS BECAUSE OF DRINKING. but this past weekend i was up in Greyling ,FREDRICK,GAYLORD,ATLANTA,LOVELLS,trails were terrible,not enough snow,and to much ice, I usually ride RX-1, rode srx with 1.50 ripesaw track with no studs,liked sliding it around corners,reminded me of when i used to dirt track. BE CAREFULL and RIDE SMART!!!!

here is a analogy
a nascar at wot has 90lbs down force,how much downforce do you think a sled has at say 90mph,i would pretty much say none,so remember this next time you wind your sled up that you are pretty much riding out of control one little bump at top speed and you are air born.
bar hoppers suck, think before you drink your family needs you in there lives!!!!!!!!!!!

it takes a few like this to ruin it for the rest of us. We end up losing trail our insurance and trail pass price goes up. We love our sport and all love to tweek and make our machines faster but chose where you hammer the throttle carefully and never do it after drinking. Stay off the trial and the roads. Operating a motor vehicle and drinking do nto mix.

I am so glad I stopped even having one beer while on the trail
