Being one of the few out there with a new Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000, I was suprised to see an ad about a new line of performance parts. The company had the Thundercat on the list of machines in which they have performance accessories for. They were right!
In “awe” of actually finding a vendor that makes performance parts for the new Thundercat, I forgot the gentleman’s name that I talked to! But when you call (651.982.6020) there you won’t get an automated recording and have to push 50 different combinations of numbers to talk to someone. When I called they answered the phone on the first ring & had all the time I required to talk about what is best for my machine and/or style of riding! They have a full line of ARCTIC CAT and POLARIS performance parts and they’ll even tell you what they’re working on that isn’t released yet. Not convienced that SPEEDWERX is the company to do business with yet??? Check out they’re website www.speedwerx.com, find what your looking for and read all the info on the products they have. If you’re still unsure, they have a tech line you can call and talk to them about your question. They even recommend that in some/most cases you should call them BEFORE ordering to be sure your set up right the first time.
My order is on the way!!!
Let me know your favorite performance accessory…
We didn’t break the World Record for Minnesota at the ATV Parade in Silver Bay but it was a good time had by all!
Everyone I talked to in Silver Bay had a great time. Can-am and Polaris showed up with there race and demo trailers. Can-am was letting people take test rides on a full line of ATVs they have out. The hotels, restaurants and bars were full all weekend and were overly nice to us. I haven’t gotten an email from ATVAM yet on the final numbers from the weekend but as the news and news papers reported we ended up with 1084 machines riding in the parade, about 50 short! It was a bummer to hear that after all the work everyone had put into it. It was a learning experience for ATVAM and all of us on what it takes to get that many machines together, but now we know what we have to do to beat the WORLD RECORD next time.
Share your pictures and stories from your weekend at the ATV parade!
Thanks to everyone that came up and said “hi”, hope to hear from you!
Just a quick note…I uploaded some ATV parade photos on my MySpace and Facebook pages. I’ve posted a couple here, but check out my other photos, too, on MySpace and Facebook. And, don’t forget to leave me a note and let me know where you are planning to ride on the Iron Range this weekend!
I plan to blog a little more about the ATV parade when I get a spare moment here. But, if you were in attendance, let me know what you thought. I had a great weekend!
It’s set to be a great weekend of ATV’ing in Silver Bay this weekend! It’s not very often we get this many ATVs together for a weekend of fun. The fun starts Friday afternoon at the AmericInn parking lot (in Silver Bay) with registration.
I’m meeting the crew from Northern Traxx ATV club in Chisholm at noon on Friday to load machines. Pat from P.R.O. Trucking is pulling all our machines up to Silver Bay with his Peterbilt! It will be quite the site to see the BIG RIG pull into the AmericInn parking lot with a full trailer of machines (16+) for the parade. That will be hard to top!
Be sure to stop by and say “hi” and see all the machines from Northern Traxx Friday evening and Saturday during the day in the AmericInn parking lot. We’ll have our banners hanging from the semi and I’ll be there with the crew getting our machines ready for the parade.
I’ve listed the schedule for this weekend in case you’ve missed it.
See you in Silver Bay to break the world record for the longest ATV parade in history!

I posted them on YouTube for everyone to see.

It’s a great time to hop on the ATV trails on the Iron Range right now! Everything is nice and green and it’s not too hot or too cold outside!
