  1. It does not. If you fog your sleds for the summer like I do it's a manual operation.
  2. Cheap bitch. You'll be banned before you get here.
  3. That's it? That won't even cover the booze.
  4. Don't really matter to me. I didn't loose out on any riding time. Was not in need of any information that I couldn't get elsewhere. Was no earth shattering information that was only available on HCS. I know I could have helped some guys out on something's over on HCS but it is what it is.
  5. Z you going to set up something for us if you move to Wisconsin? You don't have to be there just leave us credit card(s) we'll take care of the rest 👍
  6. Was PitGrunt and Joe a couple before PitGrunt was on HCS
  7. Helped a guy on a couple of newer crashed sleds. It's easier when it's at his shop and you can just leave at night.
  8. Actually did quite well last year selectively working on older sleds the dealers no longer wanted to work on. There was some real rough sleds I turned away. Even worked on a couple decent RXL's and Thunder cats. Again was selective what I took though.
  9. There's still some good guys over on HCS at least on the Polaris forum and then there's the oil and stud threads. A lot of the information is duplicated on multiple sites and Facebook. Before I got banned I was doing more PM's to guys on technical information so it wouldn't get so side tracked if it was posted on the public brand specific forums.
  10. I was thinking the same dealer in Hancock Wisconsin. K & M
  11. Well any chance Joe passed a snowmobile safety class and was able to ride a snowmobile this season or still relegated to passenger only.
  12. Not the best of years. I have a total of about 2800 miles that's about a 1000 miles down from the last 2 seasons. 2200 on my VR1, 500 miles on my wifes sled during the cold spell because it has a tall windshield and the balance on some demo sleds. Hoping for a better year next year.
  13. That's nice you change position on occasion.
  14. You and Joe buy a sled together?
  15. What a strange season. Rode mostly Sth from home this year on some great trails. Was still grooming around home 2-1/2 weeks ago, rode in the UP last weekend and started picking up some of our trails today.
  16. I know 2 guys that would have normally bought new sleds but are keeping their Pro-S decause its not offered this year. One is Ross's friend Gus.
  17. We had a 650 demo last weekend that we all traded to ride and if it wasn't for all the guys I ride with being on 850's would definitely consider a 650.
  18. LOL Nick fell off the snowbank. 👍
  19. Jim knows about this place and basically turned his back on HCS. I know he's been riding, wrenching and building a new shop by his cabin.
  20. Yes you did forward me the information Thanks. That's what confirmed me to buy the XCR. I liked the way my VR1 was setup as I like a sled setup on the soft side that you on occasion bottom out. That shows your using the full travel of the suspension. I also added the hi/lo adjust to my shocks on the VR1. If the XCR was sprung stiffer and I didn't like the ride I would have had to buy different springs. Being it's the shocks they should have enough adjustments. If not I do my own shocks so I'll just revalve them if need be. Thanks again for that information and pass that onto Chris. Friend of my also bought an XCR based off of that information.
  21. Fortune they still having the races at Eagle River next weekend? Oh and if so are you bringing Joe Pishgar this time?
  22. We had a couple different demo sleds last weekend including one with a ice ripper and one with a 1.50 storm(studded) and 1.35(studded). Snow was light and sugary the storm hooked up the best in those conditions compared to the other sleds but had slightly more vibration and slightly louded track noise than the ice Ripper or 1.35 studded. Without any real icey corners the ice Ripper or studded tracks really didn't come into play. I'm staying with a 1.35 with push thru Fasttrac studs. Ride in to many different conditions from trails, lakes and occasionally river so for me push thru studs offer the most. I ride with a couple guys that had the screw in studs and most of the added push thru studs as they ride in similar conditions than I do.
