Pretty long days here at the hospital...

It´s a good thing though that they decided to put the Olympics on at the same time I´m hospitalized...
But seriously, sure the days passes along slowly, but I have to say that the medical health system we have here in Sweden is pretty awesome! Tax money comes to the use of the actual person paying the money, not like some other tax money spendings.... Allthough, I´m sorry that only a small part is spent as sallary to the skilled and nice pesonnel atcually performing the work involved at the hospitals.


Ugly...

No more Snowmobiling for me this winter.

This was the first attempt at the snow to snow jump. -Infact, it was the first jump this season for me! Due to poor snow conditions it was´nt until about now we had sufficiant snow depth to be able to go out to hit the mountaines.
I was airborne for about 128 feet and I failed to make the 130 feet gap so this is the result;
Shattered right ankle, Broken right leg, Broken right arm and a compressed spine.
My goal was to go about 200-220 feet at this ski-doo event held by Ollanders Vulk in Strömsund. The angle of the jump was to small, there was a light snowfall and there was some water on the inrun (that was on a lake) that slowed me down. I think that all theese factors combined had some impact on the result of this stunt. 
Better luck next year..... 


-06 Ski-Doo REV 800 pro

This is my primary sled. I bought this last year (2008) and it was fitted with twin pipes, twin TMX 44 mm carbs and Kickass air filters. Theese things be as they may but when push comes to shove, my oppinion is that Bombardier exceded themselves when they made the stock single 800 pipe. I´ve mounted the stock pipe, stock carbs and stock air filters and the result was easy to see... More torqe and a motor much less sensitive  to temperature and level of hight.
Sadly the crank seazed up last spring because of insufficiant lubrication.
However, this summer has been all about bringing it back to life and with a lot of help from my friend Kim "the Pain Man" Tomasson the sled is now in greater shape than ever.
"But why is the snow gone?"



-05 Ski-Doo REV 440X, -06 600 SDI motor

I built this sled last year (2008) because I had the motor, so I bought a -05 440 REV only to pull out the 440 motor to replace it with the -06 600 SDI. My idea was to make a durable sled at the same time as it could be used, really used....
I like the motor, but to be honest the chassies they put it in on the market are quite useless if you ask me!
I changed only the ramps in the primary clutch and left everything else as it was concerning the drive train.
This worked like a charm and the sled exeeded all my expetations.
Mounting and SDI motor in a carburator sled meant that I had to strip the whole sled to bare chassie and exchange the electrical wirering. I had to remove the small cooler element and find a big one to be sure to exclude overheating.
I also had to mount the separate oil tank to make sure that the lubrication would be in order.
All this took about a weeks worth of effective time and I can sincierly say that it was worth the time and money spent. I feel I have a uniqe sled and it does´nt hurt that it only whants about 15 liters of fuel per 100 km. - It´s nice to screw!
