Attak towing a T660. It happened on the last day, after lunch on our 1200 mile Gaspe trip. It was towing it so well that he ended up towing the sled over 75 miles back to the truck. At one point he was trying to pass me at 75 mph!!!!!
I own that Attak now and it has over 10,000 miles on it and has never let me down!

Well, the update on this sled is it is a wonderful peice of something. It has spent a few days on and off all winter in and out of the shop, one of his loaner sleds siezed up, while his was in for motor blown and he gets it back and its still shutting off intermitently. Its not even fun to tease him anymore, its like making fun of someone with cancer for being bald.

We came up on this Poo IQ Turbo with the owner waiting for her group of 2 Vectors and 1 Poo to come back for her, so while we waited with her, she joined in as we cracked wise about her dilemma.....By the time her group got back we had her convinced to go Yammie next year...LOL

My 05 Vector got towed in 2X this year by my kids 98 Polaris 500. They all run and they all break...at some point.

Funny stuff...
A few years back in a small town I lived in, I towed a blown Mach a few miles back to town. Of course before I dropped him off to his house, I decided to take a small detour and cross the town streets. Buddy had no choice but to steer his sled while I pulled him down the populated main street. Of course when I looked back I was treated to every kind of sign language known to man and I just nodded lol. When I go back, I can't afford to not have a sled in tip top shape since I know pay back will be X2.lol

Mi Cat was towing home one Doo, one Lynx and 3 Yamahas last year. One of the Yammies had a broken drive shaft (Warrior), one the throttle micro switch was kind of broke so it didn't start and the third the drive clutch was kind of loose because the crank shaft was broken. Year before that an exploding drive clutch on a SRX which took more or less all of the engine with it.

My point, sleds breaks down... even Yammies

Yepp I agree, but when my Cat break down it still will be cute. After driving Yamaha all of my life I'm very surprised how well the Cat keeps togheter. One irritation thingys is the mixture of inch and SI-system (metric). I just hate that, scrap the inch-system Cat, just do it. The other is the finish or fitness of parts, sometime on a Cat you wonder if the part is made for that particular sled.

Yepp, you see even if its broke it's damned cute What was the problem?

Any loaner sled that was given to him was never siezed.. There is not a lot of dealer that will give you Loaner sled to ride evertime you break down... The problem here is that when there is a problem he will call and tell what the problem is and does not want to bring the sled right in so we can see the problem.He will wait a weeks and keep riding it to make the problem worse on it... It is funny when you owned 7 sled and all of them has had a major issue and not all cats . Might want to stop buying sleds and buy a pedle bike..
