Merry Christmas

i remember those days watching my son on our 7 acres with his little 1974 yamaha gp246 just putting along. :inlove: then the next year or so he took out a tree and i started to notice ramps in the yard. :whistling: when i plowed the lane he told me where to put the piles of snow so that he could use them as a jump. :confused: yes it seems like yesterday. :dazed: now we did go 110 miles yesterday and i had to get up to 90 miles per hour just to keep up with him. :cussing: so i took the lead just to slow him down and save some lives, most importantly ours lives. :slick: but when i was ahead he would wait till i crossed an area so that he could go bashing through at top speed and get major air where he could. :crazy: things have changed in the 2 yesterdays. :ohmy:

My rides with my son started out very very slow,,,, we would ride over to a neighboring town to a bar to have a hamburger, fries, and shoot a game of pool. That ride took an hour to get there,,,,,

Now, this is what is happening,,,, Just like Paul, we have a ramp in the back yard for the summer,,, he wants to jump jump jump,,,,

one more,,,,

Oh yeah, that ride is now closer to 10-15 minutes,,,, not an hour


also funny thinking about taking him out 2 up on my old John Deere Trailfire and we would ride 8-10 mile and he was done,,, time to go home and take a nap,,, totally wore out....

we put 41 mile on the sleds last March simply riding fields and ditches in the area and he was on his 120 the whole time,,,, when it was time to get home as it was getting dark, he was ticked that we had to stop riding!!!!

looks like I have me a riding buddy

puree, i sped up the 120 this morning and now my oldest daughter wants to go for a long ride. She figures she'll keep up much better now and it will definetly speed things up. I haven't suggested jumps but i know she had some fun going over some big bumps and she likes the powder. I think my youngest daughter will be the snocrosser cause she sure like going over big bumps and twisty turny rides.
