Hey just looking to hear from Erie and Crawford county riders. Ashtabula County riders too.

got one here from erie county

Which drag strip do you hang out at?

I prefer Thompson Raceway Park myself.

Whats the riding like around Erie? Is there much of a trail system? Where are some places that I can park the truck and trailer and unload and get on the trail?

tnt Was that your 89 Mach I on ebay? Why you selling? You looked for one of those for a while I thought.

Actually as long as you are not an axe murderer you :frech32: you can park near my house and jump on the trails.

I am looking forward to going to Marienville this winter.

Yes that was my 89 Mach 1 on eBay. I have been waffling with selling it because I have wanted an 89 - 90 Mach1 for a long LONG time. I still would like a 90 Mach1 to be it's twin or if I found another 89 in as nice or nicer shape. At this point I would prefer the 90 Mach1 because they came with other updates that the 89 didn't have.

The reason I listed it is because I have my interest peaked on getting a Formula III.

Also I am looking for an open 2 place tilt trailer to haul the pair of Mach's and I am looking for a smaller DOO sled for the kids.

unfortunately, the sled never made it to any drags this year. too many projects. went to spectate at thompson a time or two. will be out in full force in the spring, too much money going to waste.
as far as the trails in erie, you can park at alot of the bars, home tavern, teezers, mound grove. the list goes on. just stop in and let them know. the trails arent bad, better the farter east you get. and a week or two into a good snow and they get beat down. but still fun.
gonna have 2 polaris' for sale a 95 xlt reverse and elec start, and a 95 indy 500 with reverse, if anyone knows of someone looking

Thanks for the info. Always seems to be snow up there and nothing down here and sometimes not enough in Marienville but you guys up there have some. Just looking to find some more riding area.

The formula IIIs are nice. I always liked them too. I had a 89 Mach I too. Not as nice as shape as yours. The previous owner painted it purple with a metallic in it. Didnt look bad. Had twin DG pipes on it that gave it a very nice sound. Nothing annoying, just a nice little bark.

I really like the 89 Mach and as I said earlier would like a 90 Mach to go along with it. My wife's 94 Mach is really nice too. It would be neat to find a wrecked 93-95 Mach with the 670 and transpant the engine. I have always been into "sleepers" and that would be one for sure.

This season I also want to go to Moraine State Park and do some riding.

hopefully we get enough snow to ride this year :banghead:

Well I hope you comeup to Erie county to ride this year. How is your 6500/7500 project coming?

that would be cool.

it's completely torn apart at the moment

That guy from eBay sold his 5500. I was going to drive out to look at it but he relistedit before I did.

wow, he got 380 for that thing!

Well it wasn't a bad looking sled. I was willing to give him that.

it was pretty original, but it wasn't even running right. I'm almost tempted to throw mine on ebay :lol2:

I must have missed the part where it wasn't running right. What do you know that I missed?

he said it didn't idle real well.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Oh well I wasn't the winner this time either. I would really like an 81 7500 or any 9500 or 9700 blizz But I really need a sled for the kids.

Add another to the Erie county crew. 05 Rengade X 600. Sorry no leaf springs. :lol2:

make that 2 :beerchug: you guys from Erie county look for me I am always on here! Pm me and say hey! We should all get together well into January or February just to say whats up. Who knows maybe we have passed each other on the trails? Cause I know we have passed 13below0 hes a slow F7er :smilielol: what up J

Yep, another Erie county here.
Hey Zoe, Maybe this year we'll get to hookup. The snow went a way so fast last year we didn't get much of a chance.

hey twadam whats up? you know any of those guys, toocheap, xcr, tnt or bigwedgies?

Just met toocheap and xcr last weekend at the PISC swap meet ... good guys to chat with.

yeh I was gonna go but the weather put a damper on those plans! Had 3 sleds was gonna take out there that I am selling! Want to buy wifey a new sled! Heard I didnt miss to much! Would have been cool to meet some other members though!

No didn't miss too much ... The weather wasn't great, but I managed to stay dry.

Ya, wouldnt mind meeting up with some of you guys. Hopefully little better snow conditions this winter.

if you guys keep me in mind, later into the season I will work on arrangeing something where we can all get together for a ride?

it's being a real challenge to find one.

Another Erie rider here too - last year was the first year I made it to the trails (I swear there was only 2 weekends with snow to ride!) but will be back up there many times this winter.

hey kraut where you live?

between zelienople and portersville

Doggone it TooCheap why didn't you tell me you were going to the swap meet? :banghead: I was there on Sat and would have loved meeting you.

Oh well, hopefully there will be another swap meet.

Hey I have a question. I am wanting to pick up some parts for my 2 PRS Mach 1's, you know, wear items. I am a bit cornfused on what kind of wear bars to get. I see so many people hitting the roads, literally, with sparks a flying off the skis.

Now I am not THAT type to punish my machine but with the kind of trails we have in our area what should I get for wear bars? Hard bars? Carbides? If carbides there is a plethora of th em out there so how much or how little do I need?

Also I haven't seen ski skins for either of my sleds but if I find them are they worth it?

Thanks t'nt



Kraut, what ever happened to your Blizzard 9500?

True story - I ended up selling it to a guy I work with for $250 and a case of beer. He rode it for a bit then traded it for a furnace and ductwork...bought it back for $50, then sold it again for $250.00, whoever had it after that grenaded the motor.

That sled water retarded fast in the summer - would run fine, no problems, but in the cold weather it would hard run - foul plugs and backfire and heat seize after about 10 minutes.

I was more than happy to get rid of it.

ha, I thought you would have seen the other post about the swap meet. I would have gone saturday but I had to work. does that club usually have more than one swap meet?

Well, I dunno about the multiple swap meets.

Funny you should mention that I would have seen the posts about the meet. I was shocked to see how many posts there was afterwards. I just didn't get notified.

If you are heading up my way email me, you should have my address. If I am heading your way I'll let you know.

Ashtabula county rider here. Mostly ride in north western pa though.

I was thinking we should have taken a trailer to Dunkirk, Buffalo or there abouts today :div20:

Ya, we should have loaded up and been on the road!! Could have been one of the first few to be riding!!

With out a doubt!

I haven't seen any pics of the storm online, has anyone else?

Lake Effect Snow Advisory


... Lake effect Snow Advisory remains in effect until 5 PM EST
this afternoon...

A lake effect Snow Advisory remains in effect until 5 PM EST this
afternoon.

The lake effect snow will continue to be light initially this
morning. Less than an inch of snow is expected through morning
rush hour. However... a weak upper level disturbance will move over
the area later this morning into this afternoon causing the lake
effect snow to once again increase. Another 2 to locally 4 inches
of snow is possible today mainly inland of Interstate 90. Near the
Lake Shore... 1 to locally 3 inches of snow can be expected today.
The snow is expected to diminish this evening... although up to an
additional 2 inches is possible overnight tonight.

time correction stamp

Add me to Erie county rider list.

Hope the trails dry out some before the snow comes. Wow are they sloppy. I don't remember a fall this wet.

Hi, it's certianly not the wettest autumn I remember.

I got a little riding in last Saturday before the snow decided to soften.

add this guy to this list!

I wish all the rain we got lately was snow. :celebrating:

BRB where you live?


Hey Mark whats up? ready to try out the new ride?

I've been driving around over the Erie county roads and noting the trail markers. I was over near Albion today and I could see the ATV's have been running our snowmobile trails near Cherry Hill :frech32:

Looking for an open trailer in the area 8x8 or 8x10 priced between 400-600. Let me know if there is anything out there. :div20:

Happy belated birthday ZOE

Add me to the list of Erie riders. I do like Lake C a bit better though. More trails over there.
