My friend and I ended up at Lost Trails on Sunday. Not my favorite place by far but a lot closer than AOAA. The whole place is abusively rough. Not technical, just endlessly rocky.

Here is a video of him following me through the half-frozen tunnel.

We also climbed the rocky steps at Top of The World. Here are the videos we took.

We are planning a Father's Day ride at AOAA on Sunday, June 19th 2022, weather permitting. I am planning to bring both the Viking and the ZForce 800 Trail, My Wife, Daughter and Grand-Daughter. My friend Bob will bring his Wolvy and his Son.

We will meet around 9:00 am for check-in. I am planning to stay on mostly easy/smooth trails and visit some of the cool stuff we have seen before like the mulch piles, scenic overlooks and the underground coal fires. We are also planning to take the trails into town for lunch. If mud pits and technical trails are your thing you are certainly free to split off and search them out. 

We are also hoping to make additional trips to AOAA before then on shorter notice. Let me know if you are interested.

Here is a link to the AOAA website where you can read about the place and sign the annual electronic Waiver:

Taking the idea from CFMOTO Side Rider's video:

I added spacers between the driver's seat and seat bracket. The rails are a piece of scrap 2x4 split into two 2x2s, and the center piece is just a length of scrap 2x6. The extra 1.5" of legroom is great and makes a huge difference for me, not just because I am less cramped but entry & exit are far easier.

Instead of getting fancy with slots, I just measured carefully and drilled two oversized holes in the rails where the seat is as far back as it can go. The 2x6 center piece is held to the bracket by four self-drilling screws with washers.

I filled my gas tank for the first time the other day, and like I have always done with my other SxS I filled it into the stem and pulled it into the enclosed trailer. The next day there was a puddle of gas on the floor and the top of the tank under the passenger seat was wet. Is this normal? Did I just over-fill it?

I picked up my new 800 trail yesterday.  There are two loose pigtail connectors in the glove box. Anybody know what they are for?
