riding Lake Simcoe,minding my business

so,there I am riding Simcoe,heading pass willow beach and I see an atv coming towards me,,,,,nothing strange,,,he passes me and then does a 180 and is off to my side.I give him the :right_on: and he :right_on: back.He picks the speed up a bit,,,,so do I.He picks it up again,so do I.Pretty soon he hammers this thing and I am on the pin looking at his back end,,,,,I am somewhat laughing,as the atv looks like a handfull but he does not let up and I am somewhat amazed as this guy can drive,,,,,I start to catch him,slowly,,I am confused,,,figure my sled is acting up,but I look down and see that I am well into triple digits.I signal for us to stop,,,,I know nothing about atv's,but I know they do not go 110 miles per hour,,,,,,then as I am talking to him I notice this,

this is a 1000 suzuki street bike engine,complete with a 6 speed gearbox,,,,,,about 50 studs in each rear tire,,,,,wow,,,

PIC010216.jpg

this think is a rocket,he let me drive it,,,,nothing like I have ever piloted before,,,,,it is scary.I was very conservative and when I came back,he said it into 3rd and run it up to 12 grand,,,,,so I got it up to 8 grand and then hit it,,,,wow,this thing felt strong,,,it lifted a bit and then just went,,,fast,very quickly.The writing on the side is his sled kills,,,,he says he has gotten behind and there should be 10 more at least on the side,I believe him,,,,this thing was crazy fast.

he build this himself and is trying to sell it on kijiji,,,he wants to build another one but use the hyabusa engine,,,,insane,,,, :-o:-o

he is very talented at welding and fabrication and has access to some cool stuff.I got his number for future dealings.

so after chewing the fat for a bit we rode to Keswick together then to where his truck was,,,,this thing sounded neat.

Then I was off to Barrie,

this place amazed me,,,,not sure how many millions it is worth but 10 may not be to many,,,,

with a great view,

got a couple of speed runs on the ice road in,,,,106 into the wind,,,,and this with the wind,

all in all it was a great little ride,,,,,a bit lean on soft snow,but very fast riding,,,,I basical went around Simcoe,,but did not do the smaller bays,

the wife and I wondered who was out front on a sled taking a picture of our cottage... you should have come in... we could have gotten the cook to throw something together for us to nibble while the butler poured the wine.

And I thought my Apex was a cold ride; I could not imagine that thing at triple digits on a brisk morning :blink: Perhaps he needs to track down the guy in Keswick with the 2003 600 Doo to try running a really fast sled :rotflmao:

What do you have for a sled and what is done to it?

ac cfr 800r...bone stock,,,,added tall windshield,guys with short windshields are getting 120-122,,,,me,I like to be warm.I went to 72 gram cam arms from 67,it was reving to high.I got 117 with the 67's early on,if the ice had been harder and 10 degrees cooler I believe 120 would have been seen on the latest run. right_on.gif

Hahaha..... I stumbled across your post! I'm the DS1000 quad owner.

That was another giggle factor moment for me :-D Thanks for playing along, it was a blast :woot: nice to meet you as well :right_on:

I have to change my sprockets again to use all my rpm so I can get about 125mph out of it. Thanks for the compliments, I hope to do another build soon then all sleds will have to get used to seeing this.....
