So this past Friday night we left for our annual snowmobile trip in northern WI and the UP. 8 guys ride on Saturday put on 240 miles and only two minor incidents, no injuries no harmed sleds.
The remaining five of us went out for a shorter ride on Sunday.

About 50 miles into it one of the 3 F7s breaks down, most likely a bad injector. I towed it about 10 miles to a small country store where the owner then hauls it 3 miles to Bar/Supper club on a smaller lake.

We eat dinner, myself and my buddy whom I towed stay behind while the others ride back to get the truck and trailer. We figure we have 3 solid hours to spend at the bar so we have some drinks watch the race and the Oscars.
930 rolls around and we get a call, one sled ran out of gas - which added some time to their journey. And one of the other F7s breaks down about 5 miles from the cabin, bad recoil. Good thing they remembered to grab the tow strap!
We finally get back at 130am
Then yesterday, after working on the sleds in the morning I took the remaining F7 out on the flowage to see what it really could do, considering I only have a 500. After a short pass I decided to take it out on the smooth trail. Big mistake!
Track blew at about 90mph, I was able to coast it to a stop. I have 3 large bruises/scratches on my back from the studded track. I stopped about 500 yards from where the track stopped.

330PM rolls around we load up all the sleds, make some drinks and dinner and head to Hurley and get to the strip club at 945. Oh great it is Monday and there is only 1 of the 5 strip joints open....oh and there is only 1 girl dancing!
Today on the way home the truck with the 3 F7s in it blows a trailer tire about 45 miles into the ride. Too bad the tire iron doesn't fit and we do not have any sockets big enough. 2 hours later we get the tire changed and continue on our way.
Awesome!!
