How's this for "OUCH"?

Posted on Feb 27, 2009 under snowmobile travel | 5 Comments

According to the accident report, she was southbound on Trail 18 driving a 2000 Yamaha SRX500 just before 7 p.m. She told authorities she was traveling at 40 mph. Skid marks noted on the trail indicated the snowmobile slid sideways and rolled over, ejecting the woman who slid into “T” fence posts and rebar. She sustained two broken arms and a broken femur in the accident.

I know this woman, I'll have to see how she's doing. Ikes.

oh walk it off! walk it off…

DAMN that would hurt…

How to build your own snowmobile?

Posted on Feb 27, 2009 under snowmobile parts | 4 Comments

So I was thinking lately and I've decided it would be a little more fun to build my own snowmobile rather than buy a complete one. Fortunately my step fathers best friend is a mechanic so he knows how to build them. But he would only be able to help on weekends so I have to buy every single piece to the machine and start building it on my own then he will help. I am planning on going step by step and buying each piece as I go (buying the best pieces I can afford). Unfortuantely I know none of the pieces I am going to need. It would be of much appreciation if you could give me a complete list of all the parts I am going to need! (That would be of greatest help) but if you do not have time or simply don't know all the pieces then I would also accept any books on how to build a complete snowmobile for dummies or something along that lines giving step by step instructions.

Thanks so much! =)

Might be easier to buy a used one and rebuild it.
