HOUGHTON MICHGAN U.P TY RIDE...please look!!

[rozo_jr]

Tom,

I was under the impression that they would let you take the sled for four or five hours. Maybe I heard wrong, but I think that would be a really cool test drive. It would allow you to get a really good feel for the machine and encounter different types of trails and conditions, rather than just taking a lap around the parking lot. It also sounded to me that there would be more sleds available than people wanting to test drive them. But I understand if there is going to be a ton of people waiting to take a turn, my idea probably wouldn't work out too well.

Yeah, we are usually still in the rack at 8:00 a.m., Especially when Fri. night is "Power Hour" in the lounge at the Ramada. 2 for 1 cocktails is pretty hard to not take full advantage of. Not to mention that the Port crew has a reputation for being the last group to leave the motel, and the last to get back home in the evening.

I certainly don't know how that reputation ever got established and I also never had sex with that woman.

I am getting a little scared with all the RR guys on this ride! LOL Just as long as Rick doesn't end up in a santa thong like last time we were in Hancock with Steve!

 

[MrSled]

rozo_jr, if that was the case we would need several days of demo riding to let TY users try the sleds they want....I dont know all of the details of exact length of the ride that will be available but I am sure it depends on the number of TY/RX forum users that come to the demo. Besides all I want to do is take a quick blast on the demos and get to the trail riding with Steve, Gina and all the great people from the site

Ill keep the snow dance going over the next week or so and see what happens.
It sure doesnt look good out there though, almost like somebody has been doing a rain dance or something.

I don't know Gina, I seem to recall you having a pretty good time with the RR guys and Rick's santa thong.
Look at that smile!

We just need to step up that snow dance so I don't have to take the plow off the Grizz to go riding.

 

[MrSled]

I guess we can always go sit at the tavern, right Steve...lol

[MrSled]

come on Pete, you have to have some faith in the snow gods...I hear the temps are going to drop and the snow will flow....

 

[98srx6]

Its snowing really good here right now, we got a few inches already today and I guess its supposed to continue through the weekend. I dont think they are getting it up there yet though.

Ill keep the snow dance going just for you Tom, and hopefully the lake effect will really start to kick in.

 

[MrSled]

well if that snow dont hit... up there we will have to go south to ride

 

[SledderSteve]

Just keep on dancing, it seems to be working!
