Carter's Corner.....

It was Al's sled. He took it home.
I have one picture of when we pulled the carcass out of the woods.
Maybe Greg, Al, Jim, Paul, Brett or Gary have a picture of it loaded onto the trailer.
I need to call Al "Superman" from now on ----- He pushed that sled by himself 75 feet before it got too hot.
There could have been a forest fire from this one.

Whoa nelly! That's quite a fire ball. Any thoughts on how it started?

[snoclo]

I'm definitely NOT Superman, had my adrenaline & emotions amped way up though. Not to sure how far I pulled that thing, but I don't think my heart rate slowed until I was home for about a week.

Don't want to speculate, I've been well taken care of.
2013 1100T ordered.
I AIN'T Scared?

Summer heat makes you want to read JD....I went up to the lodge to check out the fire.....it looks bad from a far.....however its not close....back in an area we can't ride, wilderness.....put my name on the list should the lodge need help should the wind change the fire direction. All is ok for now. Keep you posted....

The owner of the hottest cat on the mountain{Al} and I are hoping to be there if we can get the weekend off of work

[carter]

Had a guy call Derek 2 weeks ago asking for clutch setup on a polaris. What makes this a story is I was in Custer State Park at a stop with 10 other bikes taking a drink. 94 out and the phone in the trunk rings. Someone is thinking about winter and wants to play with his machine in August.....Got to love this sport....too hot to mow, too hot to fish, but not too hot to work on the red rockets....go winter.....that includes you too AL......

[lookin4snow]

People are starting to get the itch. The Parkers, Dan and I are getting together next Friday for a fish fry and beverages to plan our 2012-2013 trips. Start planning early so that things like work and your boss don't get in the way. Enjoy the Harley while you can!

[carter]

Trying to gather all info regarding weather to make a decision on riding it to Hay Days......Don't like cold and having to plan early morning and late nite riding to get there puts my in cold. But it would be a great road trip.....maybe dressed in Klim clothes.....LOL...not warm but dry.....I'll keep you informed...you coming over???? More Later...

hahahah I was with ya and just before that break I was looking at the nice smooth hills in custer thinking"""hmm that be nice on a sled" I wounder if they alow sleds in custer park hahahhahahahahaa

[carter]

I'm convinced we are all wierd.......part of the fun in riding motorcycles in the mountains for me is looking at all the possibilities of where I might get to or not on a sled. So this morning I wondered; how many of us dream of summer and or other things when we are making the perfect powder carve......that great fish you caught while making a great hill climb.....I want answers..........

[Flatland Jack]

Okay Carter..... going skydiving tomorrow (for the first time)....will let you know how that rush compares to snowmobiling. I'll see if I'm thinking about sledding while I'm dropping.
Otherwise I'm thinking about sledding while I'm fishing. It don't get much better than that.

[techsledder]

Definitely weird in average warm blooded humans eyes. My wife tells me so! Summer pretty much sucks in my eyes.

Dream of summer? Rarely ever. Dream of summer WHILE riding sleds? Absolutely NEVER. I dream of the perfect lines I WILL be making across that hill, field or slope. Oh, and how not to wind up in those trees right there.

[snoclo]

It's pretty much a 1 way street for me, been sky diving, fishing/boating, on the motorcycle, quads,etc... at some point I was thinking of snow. Can't think of a time I've every thought of anything but sledd'in when I'm rippin' thru trees or a across untracked powder. I do have a weakness when comes time to go down 1/4 mile though, but that's usually only lasts 10-15 seconds at a time.

Well? Last night spent the evening with good friends planning our mountain riding trips for the coming season. Todays forecast is sunny and 91. Boat will be in the water by 10:00. While we will be having fun on the water, the sand bar conversations almost always turn to snowmobiling. We will pull the boat out of the water this afternoon and head over to a snowmobile club fundraiser tonight, only to again talk about the mountain riding that is planned for the winter. Some might call this a disease.....

There is a Thread above this one with a lot of opinions on helmets. I use an mx style works good you can find a decent one for 75 to 100. Get goggles that a polarized, in flat light conditions I haven't found the right lense yet. have fun you will be hooked for life....
