yea them lakers are sweet.

id either get a set of them or race trim ones. lol yea considering they have like twice the horsepower and less weight than the 350 i think id be comfortable with it for a while

thats why i wanna keep em

you could just trim these stockers, if you did it enough you could completely loose all the scratches and stuff and it would look sick.

[exentix]

i could do that but i would eventually get another set, prolly a different color, nothing wrong with the blue just too popular, if i get one i wanna make it very unique looking

Back home today.


My bro and I left home (parents place) friday night @ 7:15pm drove out to Billings Montana to pick up a sled. We got there at about 8:30am. through minnesota was an easy drive. Got to North Dakota not bad roads clear. Made it to Bismarck... Roads literally glare ice (As they don't use salt on the roads) went from doing 80mph to 30-40 for about 2 hours. made it to Montana not bad. Roads patchy but not horrible. drove on a full moon we coudl see everything. Got there 830 waited for the guy in the wal-mart parking lot in Billings. tired is about how I would explain it. Guy showed up 1/2 hour late whatev. we left there around 9:15am drove back home nice weather sunny no clouds. could see the snow storm that was comin moving at us. Windy as heck across the plains of north dakota dealt with drifting all across 94. Made it to Minn about 6:00PM last night. 4 more hours to go thankful we were in a state that uses salt on the roads. Made it to my parents place @ 10:00pm. Sled. 95' XCR 600 Tripple. Aftermarket 153" Tunnel, 144" Track w/ 2" paddle. SLP Pipes and custom painted hood. Hoping my bro will post some pics up tonight. Needs to be re-jetted for the new altitude home. Got to the apartment last night @ midnight on about 2 hours of sleep total. Crashed slept for 12 hours.

Glad to be back. total miles put on in our 27 hour venture. 1706

This got lost by mini-ho whoring. My weekend in a nutshell.
