I thought we had trouble yesterday. Desiree & Alissa were riding my friends Formula and Mason & myself were on the trusty ol Polaris. I hit a couple corners and lost sight of her. So being a good husband I stopped and waited.......nothing. A sledder passed us and ended up turning around and flagging me to come back. So I turned around and saw Des stopped in the middle of the trail......not good. I got off and asked her what happened. She said it just stopped. So I pulled up on the stop switch and it started right up. I then explained to her and Alissa if you push the switch it will stop. Other than Alissa falling asleep on the wat back, we had a fun little cruise.

That has the same radiator setup yours has Dave. That must just be the way they did those. No reservoir bottle. Weird.

Actually, there is a bottle. It's just hidden. I put oil in mine yesterday, and under the oil bottle is the reservoir. Tucked in and hiding!

Nice theory. My Friday is Thursday this week.
That is a big difference. Going to need to Velcro your butt to the sest

I just hope the trails are decent for this Sunday. A few friends of mine plan on hitting the trails around here before the sun starts melting them.

Anyone is welcome to join us if they want. Might need to do a little maint. before we leave (on a SKi-Doo of course).
