It's a pretty rough ride at those speeds. I know of a couple times when kids were going that fast and they weren't paying attention to where they were going. They were racing across some farm fields and both kids ran through a barbed wire fence. What a mess. My friend was working on the ambulance that picked up the pieces... ----- Original Message ----- From: robert moore To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 10:25 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Driving sleds
I did that too but I had just enough sight to see the tail lights on the 2 sleds ahead of me I told the guys nhot to go too fasnt and I would stay behind and in between their sleds. Well not too fast turned out to be 70 MPH. Would not do it again but wow what a ride. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bob Kennedy Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 3:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric heaters I had a Polaris dealership for a couple years. But more fun was being able to build them to race. Only a couple times did I ever feel silly enough to open one of them up. Some of the clutches had stall speeds of 6 to 9000 RPMs and you can't imagine the snap you get when a clutch kicks in at 6000 RPMs. I tried to follow the sound of the other sleds when I drove. Not very accurate but I'm still around so obviously it worked... ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:spiro%40netaxs.com> To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 11:36 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric heaters I was about 16 when I first went snowmobiling. This old guy who spoke in great wisdom, said to me "it's bad luck if you hit a bush." I've heard lots of guys talk about "luck." Well the guys were calling out to me the directions to go as they thought it was as fun as a video game. guys in college used to do this too, when directing me to a seat in class. Then I didn't "something" enough and hit a bush. No big deal. Till... I ... warmed... up!!! I was a striped hoppin numbass! that'ssome bad luck! hahaha But that Sariniac Black and Tan, if it's still made,it's worth the time to find it.

A group of us took snow mobiles up there for a weekend and I've never been so cold in my life. I was going to ride along and at the end of the driveway I got off my sled and told the guys I'd keep the fire going so it would be warm when they came back. I'm not sure but I think I froze some parts of me off up there... > ----- Original Message ----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:spiro%40netaxs.com> > To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 10:42 PM > Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric heaters > > > oh the home of the best black and tan available wide scale! > > On Sat, 17 Nov 2007, Jerry Richer wrote: > > > I live in Northern New York State. Saranac Lake, twenty miles to the East is often reported on the Today Show as the coldest spot in the United States. In Saranac Lake they pay twelve cents per Kilowatt Hour. We mostly heat with electric because our municipal owned power supply only costs two cents per Kilowatt Hour. It's suppose to be about the most inexpensive power in the United States. > > > > Jerry > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
