Heres my list-

1. Finish building 12x16 shed

2. Knock down old garage

3. Build new garage

4. Finish bathroom

5. Start restoration/conversion on 65 Pontiac Tempest convertible. Converting it into a GTO clone.

6. Work on Cherokees, they've all been neglected, might have to get rid of a couple, not enough time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

7. Get new quad!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, and find time to snowboard somewhere between projects, can't leave that out! Don't get me started on my spring/summer projects!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Come on guys, don't such a bunch of wimps. Get yourselves a snowmobile suit, a full face helmet with helmet liner, heated gloves,
and a good pair of Gortex boots and ride all winter. You paid too much for that quad to let it sit for months. ;o)

I do have a project though. Gonna redo the brakes on mine and my daughters Bayous. Just love them drum brakes. HA!

I'll be upgrading my 50k Raptor.
Building anotherone. Can't say a whole lot about it yet though.
While I wait for parts I have to fix my racing Raptor.
In the middle of all that I will be finishing up the new honda XR650EX.
Hope to have everything done by Febuary 10th.



YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!

Well I got a project to work on in the garage now, My pals putting both front CV axles in his Toyota 4x4 pickup. We'll have it out today cause he has to have it monday. Later tonite we're gonna haul the Wolvy and my pals DS 650 to the car wash to clean them up. That way we can see what all we bent in the crashes last weekend. Straightening them out and putting up the new pegboard and shelves should keep us busy for a day or two.

I agree with Woodsrunner, I ran my kodiak all winter. now , a few weeks ago I got a Grizz so I can't wait for my days off. soon as we get some more ice I'm goin for splake and pickerel(walleye for the Americans). First ice is the best.

Thanks for all the replies! A lot of you guys have some interesting projects going on this winter. I need to get started on the Wolvy but I don't want to miss any riding. Kinda in a spot...can't order my piston till I mic the cylinder. Can't mic the cylinder till I tear it down...and I can't ride it if its torn down. When I tear it apart I want to do every thing at once...hi-comp piston, cam, valve springs, and maybe the FST manual clutch kit. I know I'll have to have it down for at least 3 weeks...probably a month or so by the time I send the clutch off and order the piston.

Shasta: That Wolverine will be a beast after that motor work!

Shasta: OT but have you heard of Star Fire Coal Company in Hazard? My dad works there.

plowing and grooming an ice racing track on a pond where I live...and riding the trails as much as possible!! although in my area we've had bad luck on the trails the last few years where I ride (usually start in the antigo area or harrison hills)...
first we'll get 6" of snow then a week later its back to mud and back in the high 30's and low 40's so it just melts away again....
