Is anyone heading up to Tug Hill this weekend. I am thinking about heading up on Sat, but none of my riding partners can go. Seems like conditions are OK . . .

I just registered my sled and my trailer.. lets ride I am going up this weekend. I want to go tommorrow morning. Medic said he is busy saturday. Anyone else want to throw their sled on my trailer? We can split fuel costs and both save money! I really need to test my sled out. Its taken me 2 years to get it done. Last time I rode alone I ended up in intensive care with broken bones and my spleen split in 2 pieces. I don't want to ride alone again so someone come with me!

Matt - as long as you don't mind heading up kind of early I'd swing up and can pick you up. Since I'd be coming from south of you it would make sense to load you up on mine.
I'll PM you my personal e-mail and we can discuss.
Dan

awww crap. I just read your post. I just drove to where I store my trailer and picked it up, loaded up my sled and strapped it down. Some minor bad news, I sold my other snowmobile 1 month ago. It was a Jag 440. I managed to screw up and give the guy the cover to the ZRT with it!! I have the Jag cover. Of course it doesn't fit. My trailer has big ramps on the front of it (drive on/off type) so I think 90% of the crap will stay off it and I don't need a cover. Does your trailer have a big salt shield? Or bigger than mine? Or even better is it enclosed? haha. Here is my trailer I just redid the bearings/hubs/rims/tires last week.. all brand new and 380$ worth. I bought a new front lift shock too to make it easier to hold in place and of course triton sent me the wrong one. Thats ok, doesn't happer the use at all, just makes it easier to load a sled when your alone. When you have 2 guys just have one stand on the back of the trailer when loading. I have to go out with a few friends here in 30 mins. I will PM you my cell phone number and we can set up a time and the details. I can't use a cover so whatever trailer has the highest salt shield on it gets my vote.

^ Thanks dude I am stoked. Sledding is my life and I havn't been able to do it in sooo long. I have so much time and money into this ZRT its not funny. My build thread on it has 20,000 views on snowmobilefanatics.com and is 20+ pages long. Not because its that special of a deal, but because it took me so long.
Riding motorcycle got in the way haha.
Now to get to bed.. got to be up at 6. I will bring my camera and do an extensive ride report!
You guys should be there with us.. Losers! Remember this in July! lol

LOL The problemo' is, I've never gotten my sled legal in NY as I never had anyone in NY to ride with. You can bet the sled will be completely NY legit next season, and you can also bet that I'll be out riding somewhere dang near every weekend that there is snow. I've had enough of this marginal snow crap!
