First, this is just my way of kidding Scott; a very good friend! :good:

Old Thumper has had a bit of bad luck.:cray: His sled has a starter problem that can't be fixed during his stay this week here in the Burg. He is so frustrated that he actually came up to my place this afternoon and asked if he could help me shovel snow to work off the frustration!Posted Image

As a good friend should, I am going to make the extreme sacrifice and let him ride Helga's Apex tomorrow.:tease:

Send PMs to Old Thumper and console him in his hour of need! :rofl:

That blows. Sorry to hear 'bout that Thump! But the Apex should do in a pinch, no?

Plus the Apex is used to being ridden by a woman....so it shouldn't notice any difference.....:rofl:

Please, join a Club where you regularly ride...and when you see a Groomer Jar hopefully give what you can as every penny counts!

You obviously have not tried to keep up with Helga :shok:
Why do you think she makes Mark ride the Vector?

Woa woa woa...
What I meant was:
Helga is an awesome rider, so there would be no shame in the mighty Apex not noticing a change of rider.
Geez.....

Scott, I am sure, OT, will treat my sled the way, I would treat his! I have no worrys, thats why I got it to him early, so he could have some seat time on it, not jump on a sled new to him, an lead a fast pace gang!!!! Oh bye the way, OT says alot of you guys are hard to shake, on the trails, I hope you guy's all have a great time, if there is gonna be a hook up after we may stop in!

yeah, this past weekend was the lightest I've ever seen for February in the 'burg.

Maybe 40 sleds was the most I saw in a given day doing 200mi/day, and that was on Saturday going into Maine.
