In Topic: PASSING SLOWER SLEDS

21 February 2007 - 03:05 PM

I totally agree with passing the 15 to 30 MPH riders, but when I am doing 45 on bumps and 80 when it's smooth and some knucklehead thinks he's Blair Morgan needs to fly by, that really "edit for bad language" me off. If you are in that much need to get to the next bar for another beer, then stay there. I ride the T.H. area and there is always guys that have to faster. Bumps or not. Maybe that's why there is about a dozen guys killed up there each year. You tell me. I like speed as much as the next guy, but enough is enough. They groom the trails for trail riding and the speed racers beat the he!! out of it. I have a rev and sit on my but once in a while, the racers are always standing up. Go off the trail and get it out of your system and then come back to ride. Just my op!

This is what I believe all those being past feel, all those who react in an foolish way anyway. They feel like they are going fast enough for conditions and being past by someone going faster is an insult. Then, of coarse, the only reason they would be going that fast is to get another drink, because no one drives fast sober. So, the trail are only for those who feel they are going the perfect speed for conditions, and not for anyone going faster. By the way, going 25 into a tree from an icy corner will snap your neck the same 70 will, but you'll probably have more time to think about it before you hit. The sign on the highway says Slower traffic move right. Not slow traffic. So if someone comes up behind you that means you are slower, please be curtious and move right, let us all have fun. Being passed at 25 or 80 ends the same, your passed, get over it.

i dont agree with you on the fighting part but you could always stop and throw his key/tether into the woods <_<

Good idea, at least then they would likely take the first swing. Thanks, hopefully I will never have to use that, but if I need to, its there. Again, good idea.  :dance:

The people I come up on usually see me and move over with a wave, or wave and stay generally right. I don't know why you wouldn't move to the right side of the trail, but center is good enough. If ever anyone would cut me off purposely, there would be no doubt that a brawl would follow. The guys in my group ride fast and are curtious, but expect the same, and if we witness some off the behavior you guys are talking about, there would be more to the story. Not saying we would win all the time, but there would be a fight, and maybe they would think about it next time before cutting someone off. May be bad for snowmobiling, but so are the a holes that drive like you guys are reporting.

I will have them check compression. Today on a lake, setting on primary back to 2 because this past weekend was seeing rpms of 8500 on top. Saw 7800-7900 so back up to setting 3 and saw at or a touch over 8000. I really don't know why I was seeing 8500. Originally I was seeing 8200 before I readjusted my belt height. The reverse thing is weird and my dealer said he would talk to BRP about it. It will kill the engine once, and then work a few times in a row, and then kill the engine again. So today on the lake decent snow conditions (bare to a inch or two) and 32 degrees, 97.8 mph on #2, and 99.5 on #3. Last visit I had them check oil consumption because it was 25:1. Readjusted the throttle and oil cable and now about 150 miles to a quart. Problem is running out of winter and 1 year warranty.

My rear shock was also at 50 psi of Nitrogen. Its suppose to be 300- 350 psi I believe. How does this happend, my dealer said it came from the factory that way because if there was a leak, than it would be empty. You think the company that makes the shocks would check this, or BRP would check this, someone.
