old boss had one of these, i need to pick up something pushing cars sucks. luckily i have a preacher/tow truck driver a few lots over and he is always happy to help. i help them out when they get in a pinch and they reciprocate nicely

98 600 Polaris now, but needs a new front tire. Hopefully will have it replaced & tuned up by the time it gets warm again

You need to drag that bad boy up to Cooke and we will hook up this summer.

I've been thinking about it. Just bought me a 94 Exploder, only 75,000 miles on it, but need to find a trailer for it.

Hopefully it'll warm up by the first of July and we can hook up for a weekend of debauchery :thumb:

Truth be told, It will be AT LEAST the third week of July before we could get back into Goose lake, I would say more like the first week of August. There is still a ton of snow up there, hell, it was snowing up there today. :spock:

Yeah, we used to have everyone in the shop, stop what they were doing and come out and help push. With this baby, it just takes two of us. It will pull a loaded down 1ton right into the bays. Nice that you have the preacher though. He can bless the problem child vehicles. Hehe.

When I had my farm and Angora goats, I had 2 Honda 250's. Used them for a little of everything from rounding up goats to getting the mail. I lived in the middle of 150 acres so it was 1/4 mile to the nearest road in all directions.

I had no idea you had a farm at one point, cool beans.

You've seen me in action. I ride kind of like I golf; slow, methodical and usually as a means to an end more out of enjoyment.

Honda plastic & I can't remember what motor it was.

Radar detectors? They have speed limits or something?

Except when you are coming out of Goose Lake on a nasty boulder hill. :evil:

Like a rank bull, he got bucked off. That is one nasty hill big boulders and an unnatural slope. You have to get some speed to make it and if you take the wrong fork, no happy ending.

The good part is, once you get up there it's worth it. A shot I took of Goose Lake.
