aaahhh come on Joey, You have to admit. Some of your stories of yesteryear were out there. :bullrider:
Not sure what to say other than the fact that we had a phazer that would do 100 mph on a gravel road with no fresh snow on it. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about something that took place almost two decades ago and wasn't there personally for

You should be honored we care enough to remember...... Reminds me of just how long we've bantered on here, we've watched you grow from a snot nosed, bible thumping, future yamaha cult leader to a husband and father willing to drive 20 hours to pick up a 35 year old sled to build his cult around.... I mean teach his daughter the way of the yamaha.....

Honored? Because some words showed up on a little 2x5 screen in my hand? Nah. In reality, what you or anyone on socialism media thinks or says is completely meaningless and bares no weight on your life. It's not like "oh sh!t this randomly composed sentence on the hatred box in my pocket said a mean thing. Damn, now I can't pay my rent!" LOL no. Who the hell cares either way? Do whatever you want and whoever thinks or says they don't like it can go lay in traffic.

Joey, I hate to burst your bubble, but I too once owned a Phaser. It was piped and I could never get a 1oo MPH out of it. But if you say yours did then great. The fact you drove 20 hours for a 35 year old sled to give to your daughter is an admirable thing. It looks like it is in great shape. They were a great sled very dependable and a lot of fun to ride. In a way I wish I wouldn't have sold mine. I suggest you polish it up and enjoy riding with your daughter because in all reality that's all that really matters.

Keep the shiny side up :sled1:

Definitely. I plan to put some parts into it. The skis are effed so I'm gonna get it to steer first. Then put some bushings into the front end to take some slop out, clean the clutches, new belt etc. It'll be mint for next year once she starts driving with me on the back.

glad to see your back Joey, you stir up controversy wherever you go! ha. in my limited experience, when a speedometer says your doing 100mph, doesn't necessarily mean your doing 100mph? but hey, it is always fun.

Basically just an angrier, more opinionated version of myself. Just with more experience rooted in chaos, hatred, and diesel fumes

Yamaha would be KM/h no?

Holy tap dancing Locusts, Batman - you’ve cracked the case! If only you’d been there back in the day, we could have avoided hundreds of posts challenging the mythical 100 mph Phazer.

I believe we can safely conclude that the Phazer and incident in question maxed out at 100 KPH, or 62 miles per hour. There - done. :cool:

Ahhh I think Joey's detracters should give him a break. Everyone says something crazy on these forums sooner than later and survives. Even Cyle or Cycle as he was known in the past has shed his concrete expertise debacles of the past. However now he is mired in the trailer brake controversy. Lol. Glad you are back Joey and enjoy that Phaser with the family. There are a lot easier peeps to pick on than Joey on this site.

There's nobody who watches you more than your haters. I've done drywall, pipeline, stonework, truck driving, fracking, etc. If they think words on a screen can bother me, I just feel bad for them
