    Phazer mod sleds

    Our trails opened up over the weekend. I'm so used to wide open jet ski waters. Going 45mph down a trail feels like a wooded tunnel.

    Trial by fire (or maybe sunken in water?) Newbie JS550 build

    I found this manual to be a great history lesson on 550s, when I got mine back in 2004. It goes over everything you can do to a 550. Performance Jet Ski Manual I have a 550 gas tank sitting here with metal pickups. You can have it if you pay the shipping costs. I'm across the river.

    Trial by fire (or maybe sunken in water?) Newbie JS550 build

    Read up on SMC and how to fiberglass or repair it. More less you need bare SMC and Epoxy resin, polyester resin won't stick. I'd drill a hole at the end of that crack to stop it.

    What killed the forum? How can it be revived?

    ^This guy is one of the reasons our group stopped growing, and why myself and many left it. Narcissist... Waxhead, keep up the hard work.

    What killed the forum? How can it be revived?

    Not sure about your ride groups, but mine all got old. Careers, marriage, kids, and becoming lame are the top excuses. No time to ride, let alone post on forums....They're all busy on social media though, posting lawn mowing videos and sharing Karen memes. It's a weird world we live in when...

    ported engine theory. do I suck or does it suck?

    I propped down on my SXR, it moved the hit to a lower speed. This made chasing buoys more fun, since I was on the pipe before the apex. I run a Wet pipe and also opened my middle screw a tad.

    If you ride a motorcycle/scooter on the street/roads, please read!

    I still can't get over the folks out riding bikes and they don't even check for cars when they cross the road. Headphones on and no spatial awareness. I would be dead x10 if I didn't check and expect cars to do the stupid things that they do. From riding bike all the way through college to...

    Top reasons why the south is king...and the north AIN'T.

    30 day minimum for Power and Water to be restored in Fort Myers. Even snow rarely lasts more than 30 days. Sublimation at it's best. 76 and Sunny up nort here.

    Wet suit vs Dry Suit?

    I ride year round if possible here in Wisconsin. I have a 5mm O'Neill Wet suit, 6mm Boots, 5mm Gauntlets and a 3mm headpiece. The only thing that ever gets cold is my throttle finger. I need to do the hot hands mod someday, then I would never get cold. I got a Tour Coat, it's great for windy...

    I gave up. I caved in. I'm almost 40 and can finally feel it.

    I was squatting and benching twice a week last winter. Plan to return again once the freeze hits.

    I gave up. I caved in. I'm almost 40 and can finally feel it.

    After attending the 2022 TCJP Sortie, it has come to my attention that I do not have the ability to rebound like the 28 year old me. Setting up camp, drinking, and riding multiple times a day left me beyond sore and tired. I started taking a daily Vitamin, Glucosamine, and Turmeric the week...
