Bot, that was almost as sweet as the vows my husby read to me that he wrote on our wedding day...

Hey, is that something you to are going to do? You totally should.....

yes. and no. if you don't break much then not tooo much, when you break a lot, it costs a lot.

with two of us racing, it gets pretty expensive, and now that gas prices are higher...here's a breakdown of what we will spend this weekend, we leave Saturday afternoon, camp Sat night and race Sunday:

*Diesel in the truck to get there: $100 bucks roughly

*Gas in the wheelers to race: $40 bucks....yea, I can't believe it's that much either. Just to ride it costs that much.

*Food/drinks for the weekend: $50 bucks or so

*Gate Admission: $14 bucks ($7 bucks a person, but...this goes up at National events)

*Race Admission: $50 bucks ($25 a piece, this also goes up at Nationals)

So race weekends we spend about $200 bucks....

but....that's not including anything thats broken or just general maintenance. We both just busted our bumpers and got new ones from PRM, we've found they really do last the longest, but spent $235 bucks on two of them....my husband needed new swing arm bearings this week...that's another 50 bucks...and now last night when we were getting things ready we found the swing arm is cracked so we're going to have to buy one of them now.

SO, it does get expensive....but, at the same time, we don't go out and eat, we dont go to the movies, we dont go partying on the weekend. All the money most people spend on that kind of stuff goes towards racing for us. It's what we love :)

Someday maybe you'll see one of our names in the magazinesssss!!! Ohh..and I forgot to mention, sponsors help. Even if they give you just discounts on products, it really helps, you'd be surprised how much 50% off on goggles makes a difference. Anything helps. :)

      2006 polaris sportsman 500 ho issues with the unit like the belt is slipping
      By Spritee1
      having an issue with the unit when running under a load up a hill or in high gear, seems like the belt is slipping, there is a clapping sound coming from the primary clutch like it releases and snaps back in. i don't think I should have a noise like that. this is a friends unit and he has already replaced the primary twice with the same result.
      not sure where to look next

      Like father, like son
      By Sycoholic
      I've always loved trikes. My son apparently must've picked up on that. Not only did he surprise me with an 85 Big Red to restore, but he picked himself up an 85 Tri-Z to restore as well. He's definitely got a lot more money and labor wrapped up into his, but damn she looks sweet. Just finished his this week and he just can't stop staring at it. I tell the kids they'll be burying me with my Big Red.
