Its good to see....
It's good to see I'm not the only one that works hard on their sleds in the summer time. I catch crap from ppl cuz I work on my stuff in the summer. They say things like, It's not even winter so why worrie about it? It's not like you can ride it now. No I can't ride now, but why wait till the snow falls when I can get it done when It's nice out. No one likes to be in the cold and snow when they can be out ridding. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one when I'm at the parts story for my sled and ppl next to me are getting parts for there bikes and what not. I say why wait till the last minute to fix things when you can get it done before then.

Yep, fix sleds in summer and bikes in winter, that way you can be riding when everyone else is still working on theirs.

A lot of ppl didn't brake anything, not much ridding do to lack of snow. But unfortunately for me it was a costly ride for 20miles... Lol. I'm hoping for a good winter this year, it just can't come fast enough.

To be honest, I should have broken more things with the low snow. I guess a couple bogeys, a pair of slides, and the torsion spring sliders isn't too bad after the season I had... Though I did start with practically a brand new sled after all the crap I had to put in it

It's such a passion its hard not to be doing something to them, weather It's working on them or keeping them clean, or just sitting on them as you have a cold beer. Lol

Hay Days is like Sturgis for sledders. It's a summertime fix for all the sled addicts. Big swap meet, tons of vendor displays, snowmobile grass drags, lots of people. You should go. You're close, it's in Minnesota!

No, the quote is, "If it's not broke, take it apart and find out why!"

I go every year, I get to see alot of the same people and meet new friends! It's like a huge block party for an entire town! Saying it's Huge is an understatement! To get a grasp you really need to experience it!
