51 years old.....birthday yet to come this year.
Been riding sleds since my dad first bought his first machine in 1969-70. I grew up in the 70's with Ski-Doo's and we switched to Yamaha in 1982.....see my list below of machines owned. I got married in 1992 at 29 yrs old and continued to get new sleds sometimes every year, sometimes every few years. Spent some time racing and wrenching in the '80's and '90's. We had our kids after 2000 which slowed me down immensely as far as buying new machines. I waited until the prices came down on the used Apex's and finally bought a clean used Attak last year. I can't see myself buying brand X, Yamaha's have been very good to me. I guess at my age and with other life priorities the longevity of their 4 strokes fit my situation perfectly.

73 years young. Still ride every day in the winter. My Apex 06 ER is the best Yamaha sled I ever owned. It gets me where I want to go and I'm sure it will get me home at the end of the day. It has never failed me.

73 years also. Won my first sled with a $1 ticket in 1968 some 47 years ago. 2014 Viper is 24th new sled, had a couple sleds as little as two weeks, some for years and one 06 Rage for nine years. Also had about 23 used sleds, although some were only around long enough for a test ride.
