Guys have been hitting Revy for 3 week-ends now... Going up the trail with their trucks and unload where snow is...

4ft at the Cabin and just wonderful up top apparently... DAMN ! ... Another 2-3 weeks before I get mine together, waiting for Kustom parts !!! I share your pain OffRoadRider and CJ !!!

Might be a good thing not to go out that early, "Jesus forgives, Rocks don't". I've seen that in the back of a Redneck truck last week. (Oh btw, I'm just TRYING to convince me that It's better not to go ride... which my mind doesn't agree with at all...!)

Looks like an early season for sure..a snowmobile show this weekend screws me on getting my hawk done..otherwise it would be road ride for trials and tuning..
Im for sure going to have some jetting issues, Ive disconected the attac system from the pol. since there is no aibox.. Dont even have a clue on where to start.. any ideas?? anyone ever pull the comp system from a 700 polaris??

i guess the only good thing about our trail/roadway system is that we only need 6" to ride!!! i laugh when you guys have snow over my head(5'9") and you still need more to ride!!!

Hopefully some of you have ahd a chance to get out.. I went a little back wards on my build by changing to Mukunis.. most everything that I had already done had to be moved to make more room.. frustrating.. then drilling a 3/16 hole threw my thumb last night sucks a bit.. a few more working days should do it..

Im feeling lucky this am.. the bit broke, went in one side and out the other.
I yanked back and pulled it out instantly.. spurting blood all over the place..
Once the swelling goes down I dont even think it will leave much of a scare..
hurts like hell though.. makes it hard to cram those big carbs in...I better get the jetting fairly close, working on this thing in the bush will be a P.I.T.A..

Hahahahaha !

THE SAME FREAKING THING HAPPENED TO ME LAST YEAR as I was swearing at my "Torque limit-her" (R.I.P.) (when I say it limits "her", I mean the Hawk), SAME SIZE 3/16" DRILL BIT !!! My nail got shredded, became black and eventually fell...

Accidents like that sucks so bad... I seem to hurt myself more when I'm WRENCHING these machines than when I'm on them... Cutting myslef on the water jet parts is something I'm pretty good at...

A little teaser of what Revy had to offer last weekend...

Eastern riders don't click on the link below :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSkTNTzubyM

That's a vid guys posted of last weekend in Revy. See how light the snow is, it's like dust. That's some fluffy stuff right there, it can't be better of a texture than that. Typical Revy snow. Maybe a foot and a half deeper would be even funnier for a 14" by 150" tracked Hawk...

I absolutely need to get my machine together now... Will throw some hours at it this weekend that's for sure...
