Wife and i go out today for a ride after we trailered fer a bit.First 4 sled we see are trail police said hello goodbye and we were on our way.Now she has my yamaha X 128" big wheel skidframe and all the wheels were on there when we were stopped.Around an hour later she pulls up and says [its alittle loose!!LOL man the rear wheel was missing!!You no one of those 10"alcoa alu wheels.Holy i walk out to the bend there is the adjuster sitting in the snow mint...but no wheel.How am i going to find this sucker in the snow is all i could think as i kicked the axle back in and put some vise grips on the end to hold it there.Lets go back......./\...>>>>>half an hour of looking for a little trench off the trail in the snow or a speck of black on the right there she be.Man i got luck or what B/M has nothing on me !!Ima going to ckeck my nuts more othen now!!
My son lost his cell phone today and gave up looking for it. I went out for about 20 minutes and found it. It was about a mile from home. It is drying out right now.

bluewho...you better check your nuts more often now...lol.
A few years back I was riding along the service road,about 3 miles and jumping drifts,driveways..whatever.Then I came down from a jump and pinned it.I noticed my trailing arm was bouncing all over the place.Man I stop to look.Lost the bolt that holds that arm to the frame.Drove home slowly,made up something to hold the arm on.Went down the trail along the road at 5 km's per hour..keeping my eyes peeled for that bolt.Man it was like looking for a needle in a hay stack.Was glancing both sides trying to find some kind of ripple in the snow..I knew I probably would never find that bolt.This went on for 1/2 hour and then I see some disturbed snow(small impression)..I stopped ..put my hand in that spot and there it was.Went home,lock tite that sucker in good this time.It was the weekend and that bolt is a special one..so I couldn't order one until Monday and probably have to wait a week.Lucky I didn't continue jumping,would of bent something up front.
Bluewho,how the hell did you get the axle back in and aligned on the trail anyways?? I am thinking it didn't slip all the way out.you were lucky then.

Hawkeye.......you must of new were it fell off no?gees lol. The axle was just starting to let the other wheel fall off.So it was lucky yes.The 2 rear centre wheels are mounted to go between the nubs for the drivers so they hold the axle better... it seems.lol

Rickster the Haliburton forest was mint if you like lots of turns as you probaby no.Couple of lakes we were on were good and the cabin was the best.The boiler room had just that a old boiler out of a factory in the middle of the room that you could put wood in it without splitting it.Good thing at -35 at night.No missaps this year so the guys were happy.We have it booked for next year as well.

Once spent 3 hours looking for my buddies wallet.........we get back to the room and out of anger he kicks his boot across the room and his wallets flies out. It had slid down his bibs and into his boot.
