Well....8yrs over there, seems to get a tiny bit of clout. Lol. But a trader is a trader.

Brand loyalty is truly a curse & causes blindness.

Still have a skidoo 600. But that too could possibly drop off, as the need for more dependable 4s will give way.

I'd like to get one of those Doo 900's. Just for a second sled. Rode one last year. Not bad.

True. We all rode ski doo. I got harrassed with my switch to rx1s. Now they (8 friends) all have various year and model 4 stroke yammies. And they like them.
 
I love a good storie with a happy ending!!!

Got back from a xmas party today and went down to the lake to find a truck pulling a snow groomer making paths for our annual Jack race in a couple weeks. Rode for awhile on frozen hard snow and solid ice. Wasn't fun and engine was getting hot. Went back to the paths the groomer was making and did some pulls. Checked on my belt height, that was good but did notice some belt dust all over my secondary. Clutches were Luke warm. So made a few more short passes on the groomed path and was able to pull 109 mph on my stock sled with no studs. Was a little nervous with ice close by and no studs. I am very happy so far and with only 50 miles it's really starting to pull harder and harder. Can't wait to throw some studs on this beast.

Yeah I'll probably regret not going this weekend, but I'm holding out for more snow. Hard to get excited when the creeks are running and plowed fields are showing dirt.
 
Over 400miles. 15.82mpg tonight.

If I had one thing to change. And I'm not making a big deal....Softer seat.

Oh, guy showed up today with an untouched LTX Le and went up against a (dialed in) 850....Didn't go good! I saw the guy on the LTX headed to the lake where the 850 was sitting but couldn't stop the Slaughter.....I still feel sick about it.

Wish the guy would have talked to me. Cause i was pretty sure the 850 was going to leave hard on him.

I asked the 850 to roll with me from 40mph. He declined. Or let's say he blew it off. He didn't want to lose his buzz.
