A couple of "cool" rides
Roy decided he had enough of the XLT and we spent a day scrapping it out. Not to be left in the dust, he then bought a 1998 XC 600 which practically matches my 98' XC 700 in good looks and performance. Here we are on the maiden voyage of the two machines. Pictures were taken at Wahoo on the Crow Wing river. We rode the river back to Motley enjoying the sighting of Bald Eagles and a very confused red fox who we surprised as he was crossing the river.
Sled head
In an effort to survive the brutal conditions of winter I finally broke down and bought a sled. I will not lie to you, they are not practical. They are however, essential to my having fun in the winter along with ice-fishing. I am also posting a few pictures of Roy's sled which unfortunately is toast. After working several weeks on his XLT I decided to buy my XC 700. On the day I bought mine Roy crashed his into a tree fives miles into the ride. We spent the evening getting it back to shape. The next day after a wonderful rail ride his XLT threw a rod and we were done. Currently he is parting it out to sell on Craig's list. I hope you enjoy the pics. It has been a wild Minnesota weekend.
My new sled, 98' Polaris XC 700 twin
Results of Roy's crash
On the trail, both sleds (post Roy's crash and evening of repair).
This is what you do in Minnesota in the winter:
