Waiting on the other local guys to get there boats together.... Plus water is still on the cool side, so I have been riding my bikes every free minute I've been off (which has only been 2 days in the past 3 weeks). Had the new YZ out @ the track this week, but then had to stay over in NYC all weekend for work. If this coming weeks weather is not the washout they are calling for, I will be riding the Rickter on Friday! Its funny because I'm dying for a good FLAT water session on this boat. Memorial Day weekend is going to be 5+ days of FS2 ripping.

great looking MX track i bet you had a ball , with weather like you have there and the water temp i would be staying at the MX track :-}}}

Dude I love the both skis and bikes, and my ski season is just kicking in. Bikes till memorial day weekend, then jetski after that. That way you hit each sport at its peak time to ride...lol Anyway by the time june is here, its too damn hot to ride the bikes. So gotta get the MX time in before NJ goes summer inferno mode!

UPDATE: I didnt even relise it, but when I had the ski out for its maiden voyage I had an exhaust leak under the FP coupler. The air was very cool and dense that day an I mistook it for steam (even though nothing was hot). After running it on the hose I cant belive how much it was leaking exhaust. The coupler did not fully blow off, just the very bottom of it. The motor felt stupid powerful before, I cant imagine how its going to run without exhaust leaking in the motor bay...lol

Plan on riding everyday this LONG weekend! Will get some action pics for sure.



I'm so jealous of this build...

Thanks man!

How the hell did you get that picture?!?!?!?? Gopro a kite? Awesome view! Last saturday was killing me. Had my brothers grad party, and weather was so good all I was thinking was I wanted to ride. Monitoring the weather closely to see what day or day(S) I'm coming down there this weekend.

Drunk wingnut invasion officially kicks off this weekend!
