I will be sledding in Seymour Arm. Also will put in the boat go for a quad ride and attend a weding. May long is such a good weekend. If the river is high enough probably go for a river boat rip also.

Oh am I ever..its been like 6 months lol, normally i'm riding by mid april but all this damn snow we've had has pushed things back! But I just had a bunch of work done to it, so yeah i'm real anxious to see how its running now, it was running fine before but my mechanic tuned it to the nuts and its race ready!

Do you have a summer toy yet Rowdy?

Boy toy?! ...lol. jk

ahh yeah, no summer toy yet. Was gonna get a dirt bike this year but when the sled engine went blew that budget. Going to heat up the garage and re-do the basement bath. If I can find something for a good deal I might go ahead but I don't think this is the year for it.

What kind of bike would you recommend? I have all of 2hrs on a 250, lol.

250 2 stroke or 250 4 stroke? Both are a bit much for you I'd say. How tall are you again? Your certainly not big.. I'm 5'2 and i tippy toe on my 150. Even a 125 2 stroke is going to be tall.. my gf is like 5'10 and she had to shave her seat right down to fit her 125..but she certainly cannot handle the power of it one bit..she actually just broke her leg her 2nd time out on it this season...

I dunno tho depending on your size and ability to man handle a bike (which i'm sure if you can handle a sled you wont have much issues with a bike) I wouldn't go bigger then a 125, but you could prob get like a Kawasaki KX100 for dirt cheap, or an older 125 cc as well..and might just have to adjust the seat and suspension in order for you to touch the ground properly.. or if you want to try out a good trail bike, i'd check out maybe a TTR125 - 230 or a CRF150F (trail version of my bike).. at least there a little bit better priced. Bikes like mine are stupid expensive..still..but they only made them for 3 years and hard to come by

maybe you even wanna check out a race quad or somethin?
