I broke my front torque arm on my 06 switchback and  babied it for 30 miles,  then the rear one went from twisting around under there,, then i rode standing on the ski for about 15 miles thru banged up trails.

that was tricky!

I saw it coming so I jumped to the right. Landed flat on my back in the soft snow. More embarrassing than anything else. :lol:

Rode a pro s 800 for the rest of the weekend, that's when I knew my next sled would be a Polaris... :news:

was that the weekend you and I first met at the house / cabin rhinelander?

 Worst sled damage, road home on one ski quite a few times on my 71 ski-doo, worst damage to me 5 broken ribs, punctured lung, torn rotator cuff, broken collar bone, and concussion drove the sled a mile or 2 back to a parking area but don't remember doing it.

I spent 10 yrs there. It’s where I got into snowmobiles. It was great. Ridiculously expensive. Housing is nuts. But the “scene” for a twenty something person is amazing. 7000 people, twenty + bars. Everyone is from somewhere else and living there for the same reasons you are. I had a blast but had to leave. My in laws were bat shit crazy.still are!!!

No that was another day. It let go all together in Byron just before Andover and I rode the ski to Newry.    The torque arms on that model were probably the sleds weakest link.   I broke another one leaving the Forks one day into a bagga and it took out my track.   Spit it right out in a split second 🤦‍♂️
 

that sled was aaaaall done when I sold it.  Still looked pretty good but Totally worn OUT @ 11k miles.

Took a cylinder down halfway on the first day of a two day ride. Going back to the truck would have ended the ride for the 3 other guys. Drove 120 miles as a 430 single. Refused to bring out the rope and made it back to the truck. The last 30 miles the engine was really complaining.
