  1. A friend from Finland (Miika), who lives in the states (Kansas) working for his company, was in Utah visiting family for the holidays & brought his Can-Am 800 Max XT & his Trek 3.0 tracks to do a little track'in with me ... :drivingc:

    I missed the first planned date because of my power steering failure a few days before that ride. BUT ... my dealer got my bike back to me pretty quick so on the 28th we went for a little ride in the snow .... in what little snow I have around here ... :toetap05c:

    It was a great day ... we only saw three other peeps ... and two of those where pull'in into the staging area as we were pull'in out :partyc:

    We had a little sun, a little snow, lots of wind, clouds, fog, lots of fresh untracked snow .... and the entire mountains to ourselves for most the day !! :woot:

    Here's the video I put together from the days ride ... .... I hope ya all enjoy it !! ....... And if it doesn't snow soon ... I may not be track'in much longer this season ... :dammit:

  3. you're teasing me now! LOL

    Ah ....... Yup !! ........ Purty much !! :smilielol5c: ... :roflc: ... :smilielol5c: ... :roflc:

    wish it would snow here , and cool video, my dad wants trax for 2 of his quads .

    I wish it would snow here too !! :toetap05c:

    THANKS, glad you enjoyed it. :cheers2c:

    cool video .. do the trax work really good? i was wanting some but not shure if they are worth the big cost ? we only get a few good snow storms here a year ... i have heard that the power stearing on your quad have had alot of problems...

    THANKS CK Guy ... Glad you enjoyed it. :cheers2c:

    The tracks work AWESOME !! :partyc:

    This will be my 4th or 5th season with the tracks. Some years the snow has been better than others, but I've never regretted buying them. For me, it's the best damn mod & money I've spent on my bikes. :woot:

    Well, from what I've read, all brands of ATV's have had PS issues. So to say one brand has more issues than another doesn't fly with me. :wiggle:

    BUT ... I've learned that the 3rd Position PS Module desinged for tracks use actually overworks the PS causing it to overheat & fry.

    Talked to one guy that had two PS motors replaced. After that, he wuit using the 3rd Position PS module & has not no problems. So that may be what I end up doing. :bangheadc:

    ...

  4. Went for another fine snow track’in ride last Friday ... Yes, I could use more snow ... but I don’t have it so I’m just enjoy’in what I do have ... :partyc:

    However, on this particular day, things didn’t start off too good ... Dang, but I’m glad I had a winch & a shovel !! ... :woot:

    The rest of the day was a blast, took a different trail I haven’t been on for probably 30 yrs ... it sure looked different. I’m gonna have to do some map recon to figure out how I can make the loop .... cause it’s some steep country ... sure is pretty however ... :cheer:

    Then the day didn’t end quite as good as I would of liked. About five miles from the truck, just tak’in it easy on a packed trail, I noticed my “Check Engine” light was on ... then I noticed the message on the pod reading “Check DPS” ... Crap, why did it get hot I wasn’t do’in any real turning ?? :brickwall:

    Took the bike to the dealer to have the codes checked & it appears my PS motor is fried ..... SOB !! :aargh: .......... So I’m done until that gets fixed !! :dammit:

    Anyway, hope ya enjoy the video !! :cheers2c:

  5. Went for another ride yesterday & decided to go to the high country ... our high country where I ride anyway, which is anywhere from 8500 ft to 9500 ft. :drivingc:

    Because of the lack of snow to cover the highway, which is closed in the winter, and is a main route to riding areas, I had to find a back way thru a canyon named Skunk Creek Canyon ... this is a fun place to ride ... but you can only ride it in the winter cause it's all private land & closed in the spring thru fall .... Dang but I Love Winter !! :woot:

    Even on top, where the snow is a couple feet deep, we need more snow. Hopefully the weather guys will be right & we'll get some next week. :toetap05c:

    I did 44 miles on this ride & sure hated to return to the truck. :nopityc:

    BTW, this is the second cut of this vid, my first cut I used some Ozzy tunes & Youtube came back & said it was blocked in a few countries ........... crap, after reading the list, I was trying to figure out which country could view it ........ :aargh:

    Here's a short video of my days ride. Hope ya enjoy it. :cheers2c:

  6. well thats fun in the snow ... but we ride mostly low lands around here and getting stuck is almost an every day /ride thing here ... a wench is a must ... good luck with it ....

    SOB ... I've never thought about taking one of those rid'in with me ... could be fun !! :cheer:

    Oh ... sorry about that :toetap05c: ... you meant "Winch" huh ?? ... :wasntme:

    ...

  7. nice quad ... ive been looking at the renegade 800 and wishing for 1 ... have you had it stuck yet ? i have a polaris 500X2 and its really heavy and gets stuck easyer than my bruteforce ?

    We don't have a lot of deep mud out West here ... so I've only been stuck that once. :wasntme:

    Now come winter however, we do have deep snow .... so ya, I've been stuck a few times ... :woot:

    ...

  8. Mr.Gunny sir what camera do you use for recording your videos? They always look great!

    Dude ... what are you try'in to do ?? .... Piss Me Right The %^$# Off or what ?? :aargh:

    First you call me "Mr." ... and then "Sir" .... dude ... that's just downright hurtful !! :prod:

    However, to answer your question ... Mr. Insensitive Sir .... I'm using the Drift Stealth HD 170 camera ... I have two of the little buggers. They seem to be pretty good cameras so far too. :cheer:
