A couple weeks ago we got first significant snow in lower SE Michigan. All of 6 inches. 2 days later, I pickup up my sled out of storage and took it home, began cleaning mouse nests out of it. The next day, I started it up, unloaded it from the trailer, and drove it 100 feet to its winter parking spot. Then the snow started melting, now we got nothing.

We used to do the grass runs all the time here. Had big bottles of dishsoap we would pour on the slides. We put connectors on the liquid sleds and had a cooler of ice and a tranny cooler with a pump to cool them. No sled this year

I used to run Ice drag
Had a slide luber hooked up. just a little windshield washer bottle with washer fluid and soap mix. Really worked good.
We still have no snow on the ground. Got about 2" and its all gone. Hope we get something or the lakes are going to be low this spring.

That big storm went south of us all. Got about 2" here and 6" drifts from the wind. I heard about an old buddy here who has a 4 or so year old Cat....the green 600 triple I like so much. It has a piston blown out in it for the last 2 years and is sitting there waiting for me to go buy it....but I can't this year. Bummer! Better luck next year I guess.

600 Triple
Thats what is in the video. Its my friends sled, one of the two he just purchased. It has everything you can imagine on it and runs over 108 MPH at the radar drags.

Wow, nice ride! I rode a couple hundred mph sleds before, takes great neck muscles don't it? I just like the triples, but like smaller sleds more. They are more fun on the trail. Saw a REV go by here on a trailer the other day....I was drooling. I worked with a guy last winter in Traverse that had a year old 440 Cat racing sled from a dealer, it was bad. I saw him on it but could not ride at the office.
Last time I was on a lake was with an Exciter that ran in the 90s, and hit an ice ridge from a track plowed on the lake WFO. I flew so far I never thought I was coming back down!! It stayed kinda level so I kept tucked in and wot, and hit the ice running and never slowed down. We all checked the tracks, many many many sled lengths of air time. Kinda chilled a little after that with the speed runs. I was all tucked in, and thought I was going to have a handlebar print on my face by the way I smacked them when I landed! I had a full face on, but that was a hard one."As government expands, liberty contracts." -Ronald Reagan

I did the same thing on my 87 Exciter here on Lake Superior maybe.....hmm....10 years ago or so !! My brother and I paced it out after, and I flew about 35 yards I wasn't very high, but I shure did fly a long ways !!!! Good thing I hit the ice ridge the "right" way, or I'd have been toast !!!
By the way, there's no snow here yet and I'm waiting patiently. Starting to get a little worried too, don't want another winter like last winter
HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!!!!!!Hydro Burke

Got 6" in lower michigan, I rode 13 miles on Xmas morning after breakfast, did another 10 miles last night, just riding through fields, through people's front yards, across the lake, we had to puddle jump across a patch of open water in the canal, didn't see it coming in the dark, ****, gun it!! No problem. We pulled into the gas station with stalks of corn wrapped around the skis. Pretty funny.

This is a pic looking out at the lake. You can almost imagine my Mirage/2.5 sitting on the boatlift on the beach in front of the sleds .
