I would love to try some bikes this time of year. The ones I would like to try are pictured at: http://www.2moto.com/Photos/Customer_Pics/Phil_Hudson_2/ and http://www.2moto.com/Ride_2Moto/Videos/2Moto_DVD/Part_1/ There were some of these up on the power lines two rides ago and they looked awesome. ...

From my involvement in other types of racing, there are several aspects of going fast: Power Gearing Drag Control Comfort Traction GEARING: The Yamaha clutches are intended to keep the engine at the shift RPM from about 12 MPH up to the time the belt reaches the top of the primary clutch flange. If ...

Two people backed out at 9 and 10 pm Friday night. Too late to call around to find more people. Two of us took three machines up to Blewett pass. The Blewett Pass trailhead parking lot had 20 inches beside the parking lot. The lot was mostly bare with ice in places. The grooming contract ended on 31...

We had a tough break tonight. The pass was closed again for snow removal, wreckage removal and avalanche control. The national weather service is predicting that the rain, wind, freezing fog, and snow will be gone for 48 hours starting about 3 pm on Friday. I have five machines running for the weeke...

Our usual riding area has been plagued by low visibility, wind and snow fall the last 10 days. There was 112 inches last weekend and the sensors are showing 128 inches tonight. That is 16 inches in the last 24 hours. Two more storms are predicted to come through before the weekend. This coming weeke...

I removed all the remaining studs from my track. They were tearing up my trailer deck and ramps. We have been fogged out of our usual riding area this weekend. I want to go next weekend, but that is not likely to happen. The 1 3/16 track with studs pulls too much tailstand and not enough turning. I ...

I got my factory manual and was a little disappointed in the number of pages. I bought some from Midwest manuals for other Yamahas and was quite impressed.

About 10 miles from the trailer, my rear heat exchanger started leaking while going up a tough hill. It looked like a dog taking a leak on a fire hydrant except it was going onto my track where it goes around the rear rollers. When I got the other sleds unstuck and turned around, I turned my attenti...

I could be interested in the SRX440s in Everett, Washington.
Tell me more and provide a link to the pictures.
I am about 30 miles away in Poulsbo, Washington.

Just when you thought winter was over, I woke up to 2 inches of snow this morning and coming down hard. By the time I got back from church, there was 3 inches in the yard. My 16 year old friend that crashed my VMAX in January, came over and we finished installation of the hood. The sun came out and ...

I got new handlebars this week. They did not come with heated handle grips. How do I get the heated handle grips off my old handle bars (without breaking the grips) to put on the new handle bars? Neither grip has the end damaged, so the hole is still approximately 6 mm. I tried the air hose techniqu...

Yesterday was particulary nasty on the pass. It was 'chains required' all day. They only changed the chain up and chain off areas. Two of my associates had to drive over the pass and they reported visibility was down to about 100 feet and traffic was moving about 25 MPH for about 30 miles. The snow ...

When you say that you are afraid winter is over, you need to specify where it is over.

The Washington Cascades do not reach peak snow pack until about the first of April.
