Have been going thru boost withdrawals all summer!
Can't wait until the new sleds other manufacturers come out with try to feel out the Sidewinder.
I like to give enough throttle just so the can stay one ski length behind until they top out then open the throttle up and they hear me do it.

Snowmobiling never gets old for me. Been riding since the early 70's. Being i live two blocks off the trail I just ride from my garage.Yep, your name escapes me.... Tom? Please forgive...

I was out testing the day we met. Blew a belt that blew my side cover off at about 100mph and almost took me off the sled when it came up and hit me. Since then my belt issues are in the past and enjoying my sled more.

I made the mistake of forgetting to turn the front fastener for the clutch side panel. It sounded like a bomb going off at 120 mph when it decided to rip off! Almost ripped me off my sled too. Costly $500 mistake.Snowmobiling never gets old for me. Been riding since the early 70's. Being i live two blocks off the trail I just ride from my garage.

My group always has to check all ours when we leave anywhere. Seems envious or mischievous (or just plain azzholes) like to walk by and turn your latches to open position knowing at some point it will blow off. We've actually had several incidents this winter already where our panel checks have paid off. Some jerks are that mean!I did that twice
