I was wondering if you made the Belle Cote ride. I went and I have never seen that many wheelers. We had a ball out there in the bottom of Suicide Slough. I saw one Arctic Cat 500, but didn't know if that was you.

 

No, didn't go. I heard it kinda sucked tho. Too many ppl for a one lane trail from what I hear. I even heard it was pretty dry. TEXMudder said he saw 6 holes within 6 miles.

On a sad note, Mark from High Lifter was hit/or he hit a truck on the way to his truck (on his rubicon). He broke his left arm and bones in his back from what I hear.

 

Yeah, I helped direct traffic around him while the ambulance was called. It ruined his Rubi, I was standing there for 10 minutes before I noticed it down in the ditch. It looked like a stepped on coke can. It looked like he was going too fast to make the corner, ran over into their lane and ...smash..one whole side of a Ranger gone. He's extremely lucky he ain't dead. As for the ride it was pretty dry and dusty, but make no mistake about it, there were some places to get stuck. Our group went in later in the day and the trails were screwed. I'm gonna have to beef my Prairie up for sure before I take on anything else like that. I knew we were gonna be in for it when I saw all those monster mud machines leaving, their job already done. What about Marengo?

 

That realy sucks bad, I'm sure after he actually heals up he will be sick to know that is less than a month old rubicon is totalled. I'm trying to figure out a way to help him or something, he has been SUPER nice to me and just a flat out nice guy. Stuff like this just sucks.

About marengo, Thats where I'm going. Everyone (including Mark) was trying to get me to go to Belle Cotte, but I didn't want to go. I'm saving my bike and money for Marengo. I'm trying to get atleast a heat fighter kit before it, cause I know my bike will over heat with all that radiator cloging mud and me with my full throttle attitude. I might even have enough for a power kit, buy with my idle mixture screw locked up like it currently is I don't want to break it and not be able to make marengo. I already have a busted left engine case gasket I gotta fix before I can go, after that I'm gonna cool it as far as mudding goes. But I'm currently trying to get a freind from Baton Rouge to bring his new Rubicon here so we can do some riding together. I also want to ride it myself since I hear they can pull the fronts off the ground stock. He was telling me that he had his wife on the back while in low range and it almost came over backwards on him and her, so that sounds like impressive power. I wonder if he is gonna be willing to hook them up.

Well, see you at marengo. You can tell it's me by looking at the pictures in my photo point album. The link is in my signature, I'll be running the same set up as I have pictures of in the "Da Big Cat" album.
