Hey is was nice meeting you guys. Great ride!! Tom I hope you got back OK. Dan, thanks for guiding and helping Tom with his truck. Nick, thanks for the use of the sled, too bad you crashed your other one. Tom I hope you had a great great birthday!! and thanks for letting Poolboy (sorry Nick) ride your sled so I didn't have to go back early with him.

The real story.......

The track lugs were too big... the snow was not right... the track is too long... carbides weren't right... friends driving too fast... the rock reached out and grabbed you... Hey rocks! The sun from the mirrors got in your eyes while you were checking your hair! Yeah, that's it!!

 

[Nicko]

Thanks Andy I forgot those little details.......

Looks like with a little tape and some good sticks you'd be right back in business

I rode it for quite a few miles to a road by the trail an dthen got picked up by a local (Thanks Chris) I just did not think I could do 216 milles like that...LOL

Besides I rode a 4 stroke and did not spend any money on oil...

There ARE other ways to make your sled more "rider forward".

Hey Nick are getting your parts lined up yet? I got my clutch today, now I need to get the motor apart and change that bearing.

 

[Nicko]

Not really easy to find the parts used, since we have not a good amount of snow for the Viper I will wait and keep looking before buying NEW....

All I have coming is my steering arm.....

Well, at least you have 2 sleds so if we get some more snow you're not stuck inside just watching it... Let me know if you need second set of hands when you get it together and need to align the skis.
