Yep my sled has been flawless the last ten days and hasn't used any fuel whatsoever! That's because its been sitting in my shop doing NOTHING!! We had about three feet of awesome snow and I was loving my Sidewinder and now we have absolutely NOTHING!! Last Winter SUCKED and so far the Winter isn't much better. I hope it turns around soon. You guys can blame me for the lack of snow and cold. I bought a new sled in 2012 and we had no Winter. I bought another new one last year and guess what? the worse Winter since 2012! Now I figured this year would be a good one because I didn't buy a new sled right? WRONG!! like the dumbarse I am I went out and bought a Sidewinder so now were screwed again!

Joe that is too funny....lol
I got my 14 etec and we had that amazing winter, I put on 3600 miles that winter and loved it! Then it blew up the following winter early on, I guess 3800 miles was too much for that failed injector taking out the engine.lol
FF to 2016 winter(last yr) and new 1200 4tec....worst ever i can recall up here....grrr...only 1100 miles onto 4tec, and now this winter we got too much snow here and took forever to get frost in and ice...just coming round now though.
Man the winters seem to be so hit/miss...even cold ones they are not long stretches so thaw takes out the base.
Bring that winder up here to Huntsville, ive been out all morning radaring my 1200 in front of my place on my lake we finally have some nice ice conditions and fast! Popped off a few 110gps on the 1200 with ease....far cry from last season 100gps mostly and one time hit 103gps....so the mods work well and im real close on helix/spring combo.
Toms SW is in for studding, so we did not get time on it here yet on the gun....850 bud is not up now, but i dont think that will be too fast at all....from the way it pulled it was not too fast sunday.

You may have to trailer to Maine..I know they are riding there..I used to be able to drive two hours and find good riding, that's not the case as of late.

Tug Hill still has good snow cover, but by next Tuesday, even the hill will be shot. I still show 20" on my snow stick about 12 miles North of Rome.

218 miles on 2 tanks of fuel. The last 80 miles were all whooped out so we rode like 30/45 mph back to the hotel with half tank of fuel. Fuel light came in as we pulled into the hotel

My Sidewinder has been good. Zero issues with this one. Hoping to get enough miles to get it checked out by dealer.
