  Awesome photo! I doesn’t get more 70’s, one piece suits and sideburns. It’s pretty amazing to see the rider position on these sleds, compared to modern sleds. Wonder how many boots they melted on the pipes.

  I have this poster in my shop/man cave. I also use to have the same jacket, but, the icing on the cake, I still have the TXI helmet worn in this photo shoot. The dealership that I bought it from picked up quite a few things from Thief River Falls. All of the helmets & gear used for the Arctic Cat catalog as well as their videos are then sold off…Read More

I doubt anyone else does this but I find that if I put a couple of squirts of Klotz in the lawn tractor gas tank when I fill it, I get a whiff of winter every time I fire it up. It really helps me get motivated to cut the grass .

  LOL!! Had some mixed gas with Klotz in it once and put it in my forklift could smell it for months after that LOL

  I use Klotz in my weed wacker and leaf blower. Sometimes have to turn the exhaust towards me and inhale deeply a couple times. I’ve got a Klotz candle, but I can only burn it when my wife isn’t around.

    I put it in my chainsaw but I only use that a couple of times a summer. A friend of mine also has the candle. His wife is not a fan.

On the Kawasaki “Kawa-Bunga” project.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. Decided to create some fireworks of my own Saturday night (at least from a vocabulary perspective) and tear down the rear suspension.

There’s a lot not to like about the condition of the suspension. Some stuff is OK but I don’t think some parts can be…Read More

  That is an interesting suspension, I take it the front swing arm is used only as an anchor for the rear shock? doesn’t seem like there would be enough movement in the front arm to really change positioning of the shock, when you put it back together would be interesting to see more how the rear arm actuates the shock, just doesn’t seem like the…Read More

What would you do in Rochester MN? Wife finally got accepted by Mayo to evaluate wtf is going on with her leg.
So happy on so many levels first being her well being but she finally will have to travel and get in the camper! I sold the “Van Cave” and bought a travel trailer as she mentioned she “might” travel with something bigger.. (even though…Read More

  The two dates you mention are the beginning and the last day of the Air Show in Oshkosh. If you’re just passing through, no problems, maybe a slow-down here and there, but should be fine. Appleton to Green Bay is all construction this summer, expect two lanes and slower traffic for that stretch. Take your time, stay alert, you’ll be fine!

    Thank you Gary. Slow I can handle. Hoping to see a plane or two flying.. One of the memorable airshows I witnessed was in Eau Clare. It might have been right after they made 53 a divided hwy and was headed home to Chicago. The Blue Angels were flying and we all parked on 53 and watched 😁

  Odd as it seems, even though I lived about 65 miles from Rochester for 40 years or so, I’ve never been there. It’s a decent sized city, you’ll have no trouble passing the time, If you have a lot of free time, head over to the Mississippi towns of Grumpy Old Men fame (Wabasha, Lake City, etc.). Beautiful area and only about an hour away from Rochester.

    Thank you Brian. BTW, met with the surgeon today for my 3 1/2 month follow up. Good news on range of motion but he is restricting lifting for two more months.. All I care about is it is back in service when snowmobile season opens 😉

Heading to Oahu, Hawaii the last week of July to see our son serving in the Army there. Looking for must see ideas from you guys that have been there. Pearl Harbor is the obvious choice. What else do you have for me?

  Hi Paul, the General Discussion and Forum are two different areas for posting. Posting pictures on the Forum is not possible so you must have posted on the General Discussion page. You are correct, there is nothing posted from you since last week. You might want to try again. Remember to hit the Submit/Post button when you’re ready to post. It s…Read More

Is there a way to post pictures in a “forum” wanted to put pictures up under “taking grandkids fishing” but did not see an option to do so and ended up posting on pictures page?

  Brian, there is a way to do it but it’s not very user-friendly. It works the same way the “Insert Image” worked on the old JD forum. I used it a lot there so I am familiar with the method. The photos have to be uploaded to somewhere on the web . Then, to post a photo, you click on the little “img” tab to create a link to the photo location.…Read More

      Yeah , all of the regular, non-forum pages work the same way as the photo page so it’s super easy to post photos in any of the them. I can see the forums being a great thing for longer conversations though.

      Yeah, I’ve been back and forth with the I.T. guys. It’s one of those scenarios like, “this is what we can give you” and “but this is what I want”. For the time being, the general discussions is the best way to post pics.

      Does anybody have a SQUARE PEG FOR A SQUARE HOLE? ANYBODY? I just spent a considerable amount of time (again) on the same issue with the same people. Regarding posting pictures on the Forum. To be perfectly honest, it’s probably not worth your time and effort. For all intents and purposes it’s best to post your photos on the General Discussion…Read More

The Kawasaki “Kawa-Bunga” Project:

As hot as it is, why not think sleds , so we’re talking egged-out suspension holes, caused by years of pounding.
There are a number of solutions, depending on the mounting design, including welding/brazing. Not having the ability to do either, I have to find other means. This will take a couple of post…Read More

The Kawasaki had two different solutions for the front and rear. The rear of the suspension is mounted to 1/16” plates that are replaceable. I was able to find a good right one on a spare chassis and a good left one on another chassis. Drill the out the rivets and replace the plates with the good ones. The first photo shows the hole d…Read More

The damaged hole is drilled out to the size of the bushing. After checking the bushing fit, I shim it just enough to be perfectly even with the inside tunnel surface. Done!

Where’s a good place to be during a Heat Wave? We have friends vacationing in Wyoming this week, the Tetons to be exact. They tell us there’s still snow in the High Country! Now I’m jealous…
