boxergrrlie's wild ride

Hey, BG, just what was that you were "accusing" me of a couple months ago? Now you're out doing it, with Sue, no less! Let me guess, the cooler with the beer was meant to keep the beer WARM, as in not frozen? It goes down easier that way. I hate chewing beer.

Hey, Sue, I'll try to bring some more of that single-malt scotch to the GR3 again. See ya there!
 
It's cold enough. My brother and his buddies have started again.
They are more than happy to let visitors give it a shot.
 
years ago I saw some of this over on Prince Edward Island but nothing since. Interesting stuff. Curiosity got me so I googled around for info. Saw this little ride with aggressive teeth. -Bob

I have not seen Ms. Vaughn since gee, a year ago November Madness ( I think that I have the time line correct) when Hotspice showed up at R Roy's with some delicious (and spicy) vegetarian chili which was really good. This from a devout carnivore. I asked Tony for recipe but he withheld with some excuse like "I just throw whatever I have in the pot". I think that was a ruse but I respect his wanting to keep it a secret, it's that good.

The last I heard of Rebecca she was schooling hard, if you read this RV I hope you are well and your schooling has progressed as planned.

Nailed it. She even missed my November party. Between work and going for Masters, busy busy busy. Not like some of us gadabouts. :whistle

I believe it was the April 09 tune-up party I saw her last. I so enjoy having the busy, busy, busy over and done and can now enjoy being a gadabout! :dance
 
i bet that's a blast. Good for you jumping at the chance to experience an ice ride.
 
TOTALLY COOL! Or is that cold?

Women on ice racers, go for it!! What ice (lake or river) are your pics taken on? Down near Fort Atkinson maybe? I have a Suzuki GN400 single ice bike that I ride on Lake Winnebago at Waverly and on the Fox River just north of Wrightstown. But for now, my ice bike is a art piece in my front atrium in my Green Bay home. I have not attempted racing, yet. I need better riding gear for that. But hey. somebody has to be the back marker. That little GN400 is a bugger to kick start in the cold though. I am always warm and pumped up by the ten plus kicks it take to fire it up! The bike is set up with proper 18" Kenda knobby tires with full liners and 1200 ice screws per tire. All the steet stuff is removed or literally cut off. From a distance it looks a bit like a Rotax flat tracker.

I'm a member of the Badgers in Appleton also, and teach the MSF program at FVTC and LTC.

Well, here is one not so hot pic of me on the ice at Waverly, just putting around. On the scrambles track I have so far gotten up to 4th gear, maybe 50 mph (estimated, no speedo or tach). WHAT A HOOT!!

If you ever get an invite to try a bike properly set up for the ice you have to try it. More traction than a dirt bike in sand, and no speed limits other than your own fear factors.
