What a small World - I went into my local hardware store this afternoon here in "smalltown" U.S.A. some guys were discussing fast and then rare sleds (lotsa snow here today) Cody had sent me a txt with pics of the "Snowjob" so I showed these guys and they were in awe! Then One younger guy said, I know that sled I was looking at it last night .. . . . yeah sure you were . . . next minute he was showing me the same pics on facebook taken off this site . . What a small World . . . ... . C'Mon Stoner . . we are all waiting with baited breath!

(today's high was 5 BELOW ZERO) Mark has the "1st ride" on his camera, and is going to send it to me for upload. Basically it went like this. I pulled it out of the garage, gave it some gas and the cable stuck 3/4 open and sent me hurtling down the driveway while I scrambled to hit the kill switch.  Turns out below-zero temps and ancient grease in an ancient throttle cable don't really go hand in hand.. The cable worked fine in the 50 degree garage, but literally stuck solid when it was exposed to the arctic. We limped it back into the garage, replaced the upper cable with a brand new Barnett upper-cable and set back out with Mark in the drivers seat. more short vids to follow. |

I hope the snow stays soft - there is just SOOOO far to fall Whoever rides it is one brave pilot. Bravo for getting it up and running, and I hope you gradually work through more of RB's glorious Frankenstein collection
