After 3 Machs then going to a Blue RX-1 last year something was missing. I thought it was because I switched makes. Nope, it was the color! Boy does this Black Warrior look nice in my trailer :inlove:

On the right sled the black can look awesome. My last ZX chassis sled i ordered in black. Loved it. Add some contrasting add ons and you can have one heck of a nice lookin sled.

The new warrior is real sweet looking IMO. I am sure you will love the longer skid frame with more aggressive track, it will rock just like the gades.

Mighty, thats the black they should of used last year. They look really sharp with that gloss black and bright yellow stickers, will that 1.25 ripsaw going to have to put up with a turbo this winter? :D

Turbo, what's that ;)

Turbo!!! Hmmmmm how many hair dryers does it take to move that tank??? he he i couldn't resist man!!! :D You'll have an awesome track to spin on that machine!! Love that Ripsaw???Wonder what the milage will be compared to the 121??

I'm willing to bet that milage will be as good if not better because it can hook better.

I don't see it.

If I was smart enough to figure out how to post a picture I would. I have tried and I keep getting a error saying that the file is too big. I have my digital camera set at the lowest quality it will go. I think it's like 300kb and this site says the largest I can post is 150kb. Any idea's?

Use the editing SW that came with the camera. Even at the lowest setting, it's still probably 640x480 (at least) and not at all optimized for the web. You could even use something like "Paint" and resize it to 400xwhatever, that should trim the size considerably and still be plenty big to view on this site.

Like this?

A little, looks like a nice sled. Take it out in the sunlight and take some pics.

Here's the kids.

Take them out into the sunlight, yea right. You don't realize what a job it was to get them to hold still for this picture and I had them locked in :D

Thanks PV. Here's one of just her:

:D Mighty-That is sweet! Still like the Blue, though I now have a 'last year's' model! ;) Can you imagine running a turbo-you'd scare the doo-doo out of those yellow riders as you came whistling by...........

Spikegary,
Straighten-up your garage a little bit. :cussing: :cussing: Sled is awesome but come on, clean the floor up a little bit, straighten up those tool boxes, hang those ladders up, pick-up those tie-downs and hang them on a "nail". Put those Oil bottles on a shelf. I want to see a picture of the garage when your done "policeing the Joint". :D :D

I was thinking the same thing :0: :p :D

Damn, I'd better make sure that I NEVER post a picture of my workshop!! :0:

Too busy having fun to clean up all that stuff..........That was after my 1st ride on the RX-1. Notive the dead cat in the back. It'll be alive again this season, though I'm not sure who'll ride it! My 'Rock' sled.

With the RX-1, I don't need the oil, so that is on the shelf...........

Oh yeah, the sports car and the wife's caddy are blocking up the garage.......need to find homes for those things...........

I want a report on the "Garage Patrol" by COB Sunday. You have all weekend to tidy things up. Do you need a "Wake-up Call" on Saturday morning? :D :D


All in fun.............right? :D

Hey man i'll take that vet setting in the background :D

That old clunker, heck it's over 30 years old :D

Mighty and Warrior

Well, Iwas going to clean up the garage but now we have a hurricane on the way. If it's not one thing it's another...........

Spikegary,
Don't worry about cleaning the garage up now, I'm sure the hurricane will do the job for you. :D :D


Just kiddin' ;) Good luck weathering out the storm. Were getting some of the rain from the hurricane here in Michigan today.

Keep us posted as to what happens to your garage, and by all means, protect that RX-1 from the storm.

I tried to put it in the center of the house (bathroom) but the wife was pissed when I started pulling doorway out........ :D

:thumbsup: That's a good one! I take it she didn't buy the story that your insurance company would not cover the sled due to "Acts of God" even though it is? :D :D

i am not sure how true this is but i heard someone sued their church and won because their house was hit by a tornado and that was an act of god.

again don't know if it really happened can't even remember where i heard it!


mighty did you trade in the rx1?

:blahblah: Warrior and Mighty,

You'll be happy to know, we're doing a garage/yard sale this weekend, so the garage should be all cleaned out and put back in order next week....... :hallo1:

Heres a clean one. :D

Warrior,

Nice sled.. VERY nice sled. Oh, I also like the concrete floor. What kind of sealer / paint is that?

Thanks.....The paint is the Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Paint. Very easy to apply and keep clean. I wish I would of done it sooner.


Later........... SWRules

Too bad I couldn't have used that on my sled trailer deck when I redid it a month or so ago.

Looks Really Nice. I'd love to do that to the floor in my garage. I've seen some other stuff-it's gray with white and black speckles.

The garage looks good-we sold a bunch of stuff, put my son's motorcycles in and his new snowmobile. We also made a massive donation to the Salvation Army. You'd be proud........

Sounds good Spikegary. The out side of the house is Beige in color thats why I went with that color of floor paint. I like the gray too, we have that color at work. Good luck on your choice of colors, either way you go it will look like a Showroom when your done. Your Warrior with thank you when your done.

Later.......

Does it stand up to carbides? I have a bit of a rise to get into the garage, normally I ride in, then put the sled on the rollers.

Sorry Spikegary..........the floor does not stand-up to carbide. You have to keep them on the rollers.

Later.......

Wonder what I could do? The garage floor is about 6 inches above the driveway and pushing the sled up on rollers even in the not winter season is a chore. It seems like it would be near impossible during the season. Maybe a chunk of carpet at the doorway? Any ideas?

:hallo9:

You could also use the plastic slip-on boots. That's what I use in the garage and on the trailer.

Hey Gary can you get a car in there? Six inches is alot! I use the thing that picks the sled right up, and then take it right outside so I don&#39;t screw up my concrete. Honk

From what I understand, the previous owners had a problem with water running in when it was raining-or snow melting, so they raised the floor in the garage, and they used tar to up-slope to the garage. I normally ride in, then put the sled on rollers.

Carbide boots? Never seen them. Where can I find them? A section of carpet would be a pain-putting the rollers under and trying to get it off carpet........

:hallo7:

I&#39;ve bought them at Dennis Kirk or Shadetree. ski boots (http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/search/SearchResults.jsp;jsessionid=QL0HCEGQYEPP5LA0WTKSM 4VMDK0NKIV0?_requestid=212989)

Mighty and Warrior,

Finally cleaned the garage. Still not a lot of spare space!

Yes, there&#39;s a Yamaha, Arctic Cat, Ski-Doo and Arctic Cat (along with a Suzuki GSX-R 1000)! SWRules

Do those sleds all get along, or are they like most of the guys in this forum...HAHA!

SWRules

No big fights yet-but the Ski-Doo seems to want more space........

Mighty and Warrior, just out of curiousity, why did you pick the Warrior over the regular RX1? My GF&#39;s dad just bought the black RX1 non-Warrior. I know the differences in the two, just wondering what made you decide to go Warrior of the regular. He also lives in Michigan, and said he didn&#39;t see a need for the longer track around here. Just wondering what made you go with the Warrior. Nice Sleds guys!

I had an RX-1 last year and was very pleased with the exception of the rear skid in certain conditions. The track sucked and I really didn&#39;t like the ski-lift.

I rode a buddies older two-up while he rode my RX-1. I couldn&#39;t believe how good it rode and came to the conclusion it was because of the longer rear skid. Instead of the ### end dropping into the moguls and chatter bumps, it bridges them.

After thinking about it awhile, I decided that I was gonna put a 136 extension kit on my RX-1. I priced out everything I would need; the kit and track plus the updates for the ski-lift; stiffer sway bar, longer links, straight rate springs etc. and then priced out an 04 Warrior. Other pluses to getting a Warrior was the clicker shock in the rear skid. In the end, with what I sold my RX-1 for and the extra money I needed to come up with for the 04 it was a wash (came out about even).

I figured it was a no brainer, so Now I have an 04 Warrior instead of an 03 RX-1 that was converted to a warrior.

136 inches in my opinion is the perfect track length. Not too long to cost you much top end or push too much in the corners and just long enough to let you play in the powder and give a much better ride with much better hook up. And did I mention better Hook up :lol: It should be awesome, especially with that ripsaw :D

Spikegary,
Looks good! Here are a few of my own.

One more.

hey Gary, that garage looks alot better now, I don&#39;t think the guys will be pickin on ya anymore!! Give me a holler when you can come down for ridin. The trails will be open on the ninth of Dec. a little earlier this year. That is the Catt Co. Trails anyway, not sure about the rest of the Counties. Hoping for another great year! Honk

Warrior,

Sorry no rhymes for you this time...

I just wanted to say that I really disliked the black RX-1&#39;s & Warriors which I saw at the snowmobile show, but with the accents you&#39;ve added to your&#39;s - that machine looks awesome!

It&#39;d look even better on a white background. Keep your fingers crossed, you might be riding that one soon! :christmas:

Warrior-

Is that a Mar-Lift? I bought one last year at the show in Clarence, NY. Got mine in blue-was still riding Cats at the time............Cosmic Coincidence?

Honks-Heard you guys got like 10 inches last week. I called my buddy and said let&#39;s go..........just a minor matter of the trails being open........I will give you a shout as soon as we can get down there! We might be doing a Varysburg ride this year (club ride) as a memorial to a friend that was killed a few weeks ago.
