Yep......five years ago on 1/13/2007 I gave up the Internet!

I told a few of you I'd do a five year drive-by to say HELLO if I lived that long.

On 1/16/07, I decided to not call anyone until they called me first.......not too many calls came in...(6 so far)...ha.

I still hang with my good buddy Highsider, although not enough lately.

Yep, I still race dirt-cycles and love it.

Also, as of December 31st, I'm a snowmobile racer again after a 30 year break Got me a couple of 76' SRX Yamaha's and something new to learn. It seems, 80's pretty fast on the ice with no supension or real way to stop......I love it.

Have I changed my number or e-mail? No
Am I still parinoid? You're not parinoid when they're really out to get you

Say Hello, ask a question, tell me to F'off.....whatever. You've got two weeks and then I'm back in my turtle shell.

Don't look for me on facespace or mybook.....i don't speak that either.

Here's the new toliet....it's a beauty Clark.........

Since you only turn left, the hot set-up is to have the bars about straight when you're hanging off the side going through the corners. The sled is set up near perfectly.

It takes some getting used to when you're going down the straight with the skis light and the right bar in your lap at 80ish.

Brecks awesome....lives a house away.

Nice to see you. I hear you are still around some local races from time to time. Someday I'll make it back to see everyone at something local. So, when you going to bring Adel back?

Man, it's great to hear from you guys. I can't tell you how many times I have thought of one of you guys over the years. I sure miss the yellow board days!

Quick answers:

As to who I am, if you don't know, you must be new to the sport and are not invited to the reunion
Top picks for the race, I'm a racer not a fan. I'm still rooting for Cooper
Vintage snowmobiles, The Sno Pro below has 117 hp, does 97 in 660' in the low 5's not too bad for 36 years old
Wardy, I had to go with x6.....maybe I'll earn 6 for next year
Hello to everyone else

Any good MikeeeP or RC16 stories???

Nice and clean!
My back starts to hurt when I think about all the miles I've ridden on 70's-80's sleds. They always went like stink but just didn't have the suspension to match the power... We raced many Rupp's and a Scorpion when I was a kid.

Welcome back, you have not missed much..... Racing is getting interesting, but we seem to be moving towards another little red headed dude dominating....

Have you been to Atlanta lately, and how is the go carting business?

The $nowmobile looks sweet..... can you run it a grass?

Hammer out!

Welcome back, king. Thanks for dropping in and sharing those great pics.

I always wondered why the other Japanese mfgs didn't get into snowmobiles.. or did they?
