Bravo Bravo, Powder whore, Slush slut

Yea I don't get on here enough because I am always working on that Bravo something breaks everytime I ride it.

This is how I fixed my hood after running another sled into the back of my bravo which in turn smashed into yet another sled.  The three stooges couldn't make you laugh harder but it did cost me cause that repair lasted all of 5 min in the powder

This is yesterday after work we went to play in the powder up around the nav aid, there is a shit ton of snow up here this year and I really need a bigger sled!!

And this is the damage from today's ride,  gonna get that riveted back together with some extra brackets for support.  Having an absolute blast up here in the powder. I'm thinking it is worth a trip up for those of you who have sleds!!!

I'll try and get on here more often when I gots something good.

Oh  Yea I've been a bit less of a slush slut this is the 3rd time I got stuck in the Grand mothers bay porker rally... Three days of beer vodka and ephedrine will get you into trouble  Finally recovered  just the other day. but man that was fun!!

Bravo Kenny bravo

Why am I getting this pic from Dave, Kenny? This looks rad. What a great place to play. I love this province when I see stuff like this. Post more guy.

Bravo down, bravo up!

Well the rewind stripped out... again fixed that and then i was barely getting 40 kph.

found that the throttle cable was stripped.  So I pulled the carb and used a vice to pinch the bracket that the cable screws into tapped the hole and 

 I've got full throttle again:)  that is a whopping 60 kph flat out..... should make the run around nut point a little quicker next time i go!!

And it sure is nice to have a little elbow room when your wrenchin on somethin, Though it would be nice if I were aloud to play with all the toys in there!!

Gettin 'er done

Got the new seat pan made up

 And found out that northern bush welding is almost identical to welding on the farm

When the seat cover gets hear from some guy in La Ronge I will be taking it out on some trails!!!

Bravo progress

So the seat....

needs a little work.

Started with some new sliders for the track and rebuilding the rewind

Easier to do with the engine removed

 Also had to get at the busted engine mount

Then we cleaned the carb

which led us to remove whatever the gas had turned into over the past years

 turns out that one of the jets is so clogged up we just grabbed another one.

 After a bit of problems with some wiring it is back together and running great!

All that is left is to get a kill switch, redo the seat.... and oh yea weld the cracks in the frame.

That's some optimal muleage!

Polaris Rescue

Went For a ride yesterday and it was a lot of fun until the sled I was on started making a grinding noise and then stopped going. Something in the chain drive came apart. So we went back and got a Bravo with a sled to rescue it.

And of course we naturally stopped for a beer on the way back

Bravo!

Keno's been working up north flyin' snow geese and dropping fuel, pepsi, and ripple chips on every ice flow north of La Ronge for a while now. He's been buggin' me to lend him the Murder Van so he can transport an uber mule of a sled up there so he has something to putt around on until spring. But I'm pretty sure the Murder Van's not quite ready for the abuse that a northern trek would put on'er and I can't afford to not have it running in it's optimal Muleage state. However, today Davey and I sprung the Yammy Bravo Mule from the ground so it can make a mystical journey up north later this week.

First we borrowed the ever faithful Elmer, Keno's community Silverado and head out to the valley where Bravo Mule lays baked in the sun and dirt. But of course Keno hooks us up with an empty truck, so first stop is the 7-11 for gas and ...welll... toquitos of course.


We get out to the farm ok and try starting the Bravo Mule, but it's not happening. I mean even if this thing does make it up north I can't see it getting him too far. It's enough to make even Lee a little nervous. Optimal muleage is one thing, but...

So we hoist it into the back, throw a chain around the skis and head back to town.


Feeling pretty good about the whole thing and thinking we'd made good time, we figure this means Keno owes us a frosty beverage.

So after all that, I think a slow and condescending clap is in order...Bra...vo!
