  • Conquests, Avenger, Bigfoot (Vid)

    Well, I went out fishing with a group of friends over the weekend. Caught some nice Walleye and had a pretty good time. Here is a clip of the trail into the lake. 2 Conquests (both on 24" Frontier Tires), an Avenger, a Bigfoot, and a Kawasucky Brute Force 650. As you will see, the best use for the Brute would be to use it for FILL (lol).
    No breakdowns on this trip, but the guy that piled up his Avenger Trans last trip got his trans back. I installed it for him, and we had one of the other guys drive it out for him (he decided that he didn't want to deal with it, so traded it off on a NEW EFI Avenger). I wish him luck on his new purchase and pray that I won't be rebuilding it in the bush for him

    Great video. It looks like the guy with the quad needs to go trade it in for an Argo. I thought it was going to flip over when your friend was winching him out that second time.

          That some nice muck you guys were riding in. Maybe the next time the guy on the quad will saddle one of the dogs, they didn't get stuck!

          On a serious note, looked like you guys had a good ride.

          Don't those dogs want to ride?

          Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

                Great video

                Great video as always Doc. I appreciate you taking the time to post it up. Quads always look really cool and unstoppable until you get them deep into Argo country. It was like you friend said in the video, "He shouldn't be here, he Doesn't belong here." Your trails look even better this year. That is really rough stuff, and I don't think I would want to go back into any of this stuff without a couple of AATV's with me. When I lived in Alaska I had to walk across muskeg a couple of times. It was like a giant sponge and very difficult to walk across. I don't think that anyone who has never been in this stuff can understand just how hard this stuff is to get across.This looks a lot like the same thing. Keep em coming Doc! Thanks!

                      Hammers should have warning labels.

                          Excellent video. That looks like no place to be with less than 6 wheels, perhaps even 8!

                            The dogs, pretty much, refuse to ride with us (I don't think they trust us)
                            The only time I could get my dog to stay in the Argo was last yr. He bailed out of the truck at about 70 MPH on our way out to this same lake (he's lucky the trailer didn't run over him). I thought he was OK, a little "road rash" and a limp.............turned out he busted his back leg (femur). I still can't believe that dog, not a wimper out of him in all the times I picked him up to put him in or out of the Argo ( He's a Rotty Cross, weighing in at about 130lbs). WE WERE OUT IN THE BUSH FOR 3 WEEKS ON THAT TRIP.
                            That was last July, and he won the dog pull competition, in town, in October. Tough SOB.

                            No, he figured he would just "not" go riding with us anymore

                            It was a little cool out, and sprinkling rain. (About 50-55 deg F to YA"LL )

                            Yes, to the toon of $500.00 PER lens, Plus I had to buy the frames. Not complaining though, these are the best glasses I have ever had.

                            Thanks for all the comments guys,
                            Glad you apreciate the effort it takes to bring these clips to you.
