signed it

They are deleting all Philly addreses anyway

you are probably the most self centered poster on this site. You think you know everything about upstate NY. You and Father tucker are the worst.

Fact is, i have more miles and experience in Upstate NY than you ever will, all at the age of 27.

Tool.

Good luck with that one. With 4167 miles in three seasons I'd say you were the rookie. Sheeit, I put more miles on in the groomer last year than you did on your sled in 05/06 or 06/07.

OK... But your math is off you have listed 4,000 and some odd miles for three seasons. How do you figure you have more miles than me when my 05 sled that is three seasons old has over 12,000 miles on the clock?

Must be that Fuzzy Philly Math

LOL kid I was rinding Stillwater Reservoir back when your daddy was jaggin off to playboy. Now which step in the program are you up to now???

I've put on 1000-2500 miles every season in and around Of and Tug Hill for 12 years now,not counting when i didn't ride my own sled.

How do either or any of you fat old jerkoffs have more experience up there than me?

To start off I have over 30,000 miles on my OWN sleds I have owned since 97... That would be 2500 miles PLUS a season... then there is the additional miles on ATV and dirt bike. Plus buying property and building a log cabin myself in 2000.

Also I'm not exactly fat at 6'2" 180lbs. I may be old by your standards buy I did just ride an 80 mile Enduro Sunday in the Pine Barrens so I'm in pretty decent shape.

When you can top 35 years of riding sleds and living on the western crest of Tug Hill for 46 years, come on back and tell how expierienced you are. You're still wet behind the ears Junior.

well hey i couldn't or wouldn't wanna make myself 45 yrs old over nite.

Superman you are my hero.



BTW I started riding out of #4 back in 71.

well all that matters for you is that i taught your wife that thing you like.

So you taught her how to suck dick! Thats pretty funny. You must be damn good at it because you taught her well!

Kid you are lame.

Can anyone guess which one is I'mQueer600 at the fudge fest in Philly?

Guys PLEASE take your bickering somewhere else !!!!!! This thread is very important for Speculator to get DEC to open the trails they closed...If you would please write a letter to DEC to open all the trails that have been used in the past... This is going to set a Statewide benchmark on how DEC deals with lands that they buy the recreation rights on!!!!!! We need all the help we can get...... If you want more info goto ILSNOW.com ...Ilsnow will taking a vacation and shutting down the buuletin board during July...
