Welcome aboard!!!! A few years ago we sledded with some great fellows from Bismark, that we met at Island Park Idaho....they were out of gas several miles from a pump, and we always carry extra. It was quite a funny story that cold night....anyways back to the Magician….congrats and send us a pix. We love write up's and reports.

I've sledded at Island Park, but I've never run out of gas there.

I thought I should comment on the bolts on my bike. Everybody has said that they're poor quality, and need to be taken out and loctited. On my bike, all the bolts appear to be of good quality, and either they were loctited at the factory or at the distributor. Red loctite was used, and I would have to heat them up to get most of them off. My rear peg on the left keeps coming down, and I can't get it loose, maybe with an impact driver. Perhaps the Mnfg. watches the reviews on You Tube.

How are things in Bismark? Sure like the blue on that bike! I did notice a lot of the bolts on the BMS that we received had been loctited. Doesn't hurt to check. How do you like the magician?

So far the only complaints I've had on the Magician have been head gasket on arrival, and the clutch gets hard to find neutral when it's hot. I haven't got to do much dirt riding because it seems to rain almost every day so it's mud riding. Highway riding has been great.
