Going for a night ride and wondering how much gas your sled has in it. Can't see the level in the little sight glass thingy on the side, so pop the cap and use a lighter for light to see if you can see the level in the tank. Then after it bursts into flames, running around like a total retard looking for a fire extinguisher, when all you had to do was close the cap and smother the flames. Still went for a ride after the fact.


An the Winner is............... Northern Bear for his awesome Pyromaniac skillz........ dude.. that still makes me laugh reading it. You have won a Freakin awesome set of Valkyrie Gloves!!

Can you PM your mailing addy and size to MF guy.



Thank you to everyone who participated in this thread, I have a sneaky feeling this isn't the end of it. Stay tuned.. I'll have the article out soon in SnoRiders Magazine!!

When i stop I put my goggles on top of my primary clutch to thaw out. It works really well they never melt just dry out good. TWICE last year I drive away thinking why the hell my sled is making that bad noise! Only to realise that i left my goggles on the clutch. So then i get to ride the rest of the day without them. And not to mention spend more money on a new pair.

I've done that too. Only once though. I went out and bought the new doo with the goggle compartment so I don't have to buy new goggles again!

Wow thanks! Guess my moment of great wisdom paid off lol.

I actually did spend some time looking for a flashlight, but when that didn't pan out, that's when I resorted to the lighter. Not really sure what I was thinking, or NOT thinking, when I did that. Spent a good couple minutes freaking out while looking for a fire extinguisher, thinking the sled was gonna explode any minute. Couldn't find it in my hysterics so I resorted to ripping off a chunk of paper from a bag of sand and used that to smother the flames licking up out of the tank. There was no damage, surprisingly enough other than the rubber seal that fits onto the flip cap on the yamahas. Still made for that nights ride. Never did find out how much gas was in the tank. Didn't run out gas so obviously it was enough.

Gloves are on there way! Northern Bear nailed it. A wise man once said, Wisdom cometh with age.

Apparently you will be a young man for awhile....

Nicely done!!

And a big thanks out to MOMMA and Main Jet!!


Here is the Valkyrie Glove that was won with a lighter placed in a gas tank.

Think that was the same day I did this.
Large group of us were playing (1 by 1) on a steep tree patched slope... Me being a novice took a poke and next thing I knew I was above the 3rd bank of trees and had the only track up there.... thinking to myself WOOHOO!!!

Problem was I was too busy looking up and all of a sudden realized there was no decent path down..... said oh chit and picked a line through the first batch of trees, a 2" sapling paid the ultimate price but I made it thru..... chit here comes the next said to myself " hmmm can I fit thru there????" well hell yas little plastic of the skis but the old summit was still making her way down.... Last batch of trees and I'm close enough to the edge that I figure I can get around it all together.....NOT!! tree well sucked me in and upside down.

Still on a very steep incline I was worried about righting the sled for fear it would take off on me so I secured by bungee to the rear shock & the culpret tree, by then doug had arrived to help (on a side note our feerless shiney-top leade,r RKnight, failed on 3 separate attempts to reach me...Bwahahahaha)

So anyways now to the whoopsie....

With the sled righted and held in place by doug it was time to breath life back into the old iron..... I pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled...then doug pulled and pulled and pulled...nuttin....

fawk-it looks like I'm toboganing down, jump on the sled and ride her down, when I get to the bottom I'm now stumped as to why she won't fire, it's not like the old summit to be pizzy like that. pull and pull and on the 3rd pull it hit me.....right in the fawking eye....my DESS key that is.... seems the whole time we were pulling and pulling the DESS was attached to my wrist but not to the sled....

Plugged her in, first pull start.... back to the crowd.... "Wow I must have flooded her good, what a biatch to get started"......
