Ice Ice Baby!!!

[Rebel64]

Here's the vids of the recovery of Aarons bike out of the creek.
Thanks to Buck, Christie, and Desi for taking such great footage.

This is the first time I've uploaded to YouTube, so I guess just go here to my area there:

[Camo500EFI]

Looks like I missed a bit of fun!!

[Rebel64]

You sure did man.
Where you able to see all 3 vids just by going to my first link?

[Dirtbmw20]

You guys are fricking crazy man. To hell with all that ICE riding,lol. Yall need to come on down south. In the middle of the dead winter our mud holes don't even freeze up, much less the whole damn creek,lol.

[Rebel64]

Oh Lee it aint that bad...just gotta bundle up some and get some Jager in the bloodflow!

[Rebel64]

The laws sure worked well for breakin up the ice too...

It's alot of fun running on or through ice. As a matter of fact I might just have to run across the lake for lunch today at one of our many lake side pubs on my bike since my wife took my car keys with her to work today.

[Rebel64]

LOL...until you fall through the ice....
Right Aaron? ;)

[Dirtbmw20]

Running ON the ice would be ok. Running THROUGH the ice........ oh HELL no.

[Rebel64]

The only thing I was concerned about was having one of the meaty lugs on the tires catching too hard on the ice and snapping an axle or something, so that's when I let Desi take the wheel and I went along breaking a path for her.
Damn glad I had the waders on!

[torkmonster]

yep that is right mark.... Although this didn't happen on OUR ride Roger(?) lost a snowmobile due to breakthrough on a lake!!!
I thought they were gonna do the same when him and Buck took to the pond... Wasn't no way I was going on it!!!!!

["Bankrupt"]

[Rebel64]

Cool. Thanks a lot.

Yeah no doubt...wish I had the camera when they were out there on the pond. That would have been bad news for sure if they would've broken through.

[PoBoy800]

Damn! That water looks cold!!

[mrwilliamsrzr]

It was almost 50 sunday.... that water was Warming up.. but not yet bath water temp!

[BOOMERANG]

That's insane. Next time, wear the waders or stay out of the creek.

[Rebel64]

I'm the only one that was smart enough to wear them! :bathbaby:

[torkmonster]

That's insane. Next time, wear the waders or stay out of the creek.

or both!!!!!
Mark we got some pics of them on the pond.. Kinda far away, but I'll post them as soon as I get them from camera to pc.

[torkmonster]

I'm the only one that was smart enough to wear them! :bathbaby:

I want one of those DUCKIES!!!!

[Rebel64]

Ok great! Can't wait to see them Aaron.

[OnlyPolaris]

looks like fun. i like doing that in the spring up here. lookes like there were more people satnding around then helping. lol.

[Rebel64]

LOL! Damn union workers!!!

[OnlyPolaris]

thats one thing that really grinds my gears. when you are stuck for a long time and you can't get out. i don't mind it when you make progress but when you don't move. i just want to walk away.

[mrwilliamsrzr]

Hey Now... i was standing on the back of the rZr in the same stuff... just as deep..

And then i drove out on my own i might add...LOL...

[Turk]

wasnt yall cold in that ice water?

[Rebel64]

Not me, I had 3.5mm/600 gram neoprene waders on. Aaron and Buck were pretty chilly though!

[torkmonster]

well wasn't too bad... i was taking layers of clothes off all day!!! got a little warm... plus with marks "special coffee"!!!!!!

[Turk]

It looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

[torkmonster]

we sure did... gotta do it again sometime!!!!

[Rebel64]

We really did...the whole weekend was full of good times and good people.

Yeah Aaron, my special coffee did warm the blood up! :)

[mrwilliamsrzr]

the special coffee is getting me alot of heat, check out my post in the Illinois section, and lend me a hand if you guys can... thanks

[Rebel64]

Sorry you're getting heat Buck....tried that link but it didn't work.

[mrwilliamsrzr]

i posted another link..give it a try when you have time guys..

thanks a ton.

[OnlyPolaris]

waders are the way to go. that is all i where. i used to were just boots and tape splash pants to them. feet ere always soaked. fianlly invested in some waders and know i get to watch all the people complain how they are wet. good investment for anyone who doesn't have them.

[Rebel64]

Exactly. I almost just kept the coveralls and snowboots on since I was wearing them earlier in the day while we were just tooling around, but I knew this was going to be the last big ride of the day and venturing into unknown territory so I changed into them before we took off again.
I was DAMN glad I had them on when I slipped on the ice and fell into the hole where Aarons bike was initially 'parked' at. (see video #3) The water came within an inch of coming into the waders (chest high). I would have been one cold (and miserable) camper if I didn't have those on.

[mrwilliamsrzr]

LOL.. and i would have been SOL.. cuz i got your Dry boots.lol

Was fun though....its always fun when your not the one stuck.!

[Rebel64]

No doubt about that!! Glad my snowboots were still dry for your cold toes.
Jeez, some Marine you are. ;)

[mrwilliamsrzr]

LOL.. shhh.. remember that rep. we were talking about

[Rebel64]

Too late buddy! You didn't even pitch a tent, and was bitchin about Christies cold butt that you didn't have the heart to warm up!! :target:
