  1. nice pair of 01 zrs there buddy.is the zrt also 01?
  2. gotta throw in the old zr 800 too. one of the best sledsi ever owned.gas and go.
  3. wish there was a non 800 version.only thing that i didnt like about those.
  4. buddy bought a new in 01' zr 500.first year apv motor. ate up alot of 600s including a twin piped zr 600 made the year prior non valved. it would top end my buddies 02 mxz 500 every time on a 1000' he never really got beat up by many 600s except for a very hot running edge x 600 01' another buddy had , but his was smoking 7s so no shame there.
  5. 01-02' zr 5 or 600 apv. 2001-05 xc sp /edge xs in 5 or 600 cc mxz 500 2002 pre ho ring eaters. if ya like the bumps. 01-04 pro x 600. or x2 600. all of these are really nice looking fun sleds.the polaris/mxz get the edge over the cat because of weightless reverse. best handling goes to the cat. looks i think there all great in that era.best looking sleds made by all 3 manus if you ask me outside some of the big triples of that era.
  6. when i was a young teen, me and my buddies were riding up the mountain trail here(not a groomed trail, a glorified walking trail just wide enough for a sled to fit, with maybe 3 or 4 inches on either side of the outside of your ski) so needless to say, you aint turning around. so 3/4s of the way up, a pissed off bull moose walked out on the trail maybe 20 feet in front of us, me of course , up front of the group on my old indy 500. none of our old sleds had reverse. so when we realised this guy aint moving we shut off our sleds. ears pinned back, you could see the steam coming out his big old nostrills, and he was facing us. completely unarmed, we all just sat there in silence, cause there wasnt much else we could do, it was the mooses call if he wanted to charge, but he didn't. that was a long ass 3 to 4 mins, breathing super heavy and groaning i guess you'd say let me tell you. he eventually turned around and headed up the trail. you could see blood coming from its leg. the trail was well beaten hard crust that the animal could stand on instead of busting through the crust and id assume thats what happened to its leg, busting through the off trail crust not as strong as on trail and had no patience or interest in yielding to us 16 year old pricks on sled. moose are very common here.there have been dozens over the years coming out in my childhood backyard. typically passive animals thankfully despite there size. the only real time your in danger is on the road driving, cornering a cow with its calf , or if they feel cornered or threatened in general. usually if theres a route to get the fuck away from you they take it. thats what seperated this memory from id say thousands of sightings of them in my lifetime. we thought we were in for it that time.
  7. nice animal for sure. his days are numbered hanging around that area. hes probably in a deep freeze as we speak lol.
  8. he looks well fed id say.the pics are zoomed in so pretty grainy but you get the idea. crested the hill he was walking away from me , probably was about 100 feet away when i first came over'.fumbled getting the cell out. anyway, let him go so i smoked a cigarette and turned off the quad to give him time. i drove down after 10 mins or so as i had to pass him to continue on my route. once i got down about another 60 or 70 feet, a cow moose was on the edge of the trees and darted back in , then the bull came back out and turned to face me..stared me down maybe 2 or 3 mins then went into the trees again so i could pass. this wasn't a hunting trip for me, just out for a ride. nice animal.pics dont do it justice, he was a big fellow. thought it was a bear at first walking away he was so girthy, only when i snapped the photo and zoomed in i saw the rack. anyways, thought id share the pics. few others from the ride yesterday.was a nice evening. cheers.
  9. theres only so much we can discuss about sleds in late june/ if they dont like my off brand way of posting, np.ill go back on in winter when its actually relevant to winter
  10. they can ban me, whatever.i can't post what i want to either way , so whats the difference?
  11. im pro fuck you ' button. i remember back in the day i was on the rogan board ' forum and we had a ball with the positive rep / negative rep options for posts you didnt like or liked, and when you did either, the option to include a one liner message alongside the rep. i cant tell you how funny it was seeing newbs trying to accumulate positive reps and getting negged bombed the most offensive shit you ever read. this led to full on meltdowns which was hillarious as well.if someone was particularly retarded, he would get pinked' , his name would show up in pink , and could only post in one sub forum that was apatly called 'the tard bin'. they would remain there till a mod decided to let them out. they lost the ability to give rep and were often neg bombed for lolz without any recourse which made em tailspin worse. that forum was great. then it go flooded by the brand new podcast fans that totally sucked. joe eventually decided keeping that forum around and all the offensive shit was a future disaster and this was before the woke mob went nuts. it was not uncommon for joe to get into full on flame wars on there resulting in endless memes of the fear factor guy with dicks photoshopped into his mouth and bob saget things you will never unsee. many comedians posted on that forum. it was ended in 12'. lot of good ideas on how to build a hillarious forum died with it. too bad.
  12. i cant argue the markets tanking.i think with increased msrps and shittier and shittier winters, by only offering a 600 cc and 850 or 800 cc, there probably pricing alot of guys out of the market. you tack on the retarded gas prices and you got a recipe for 'well fuck snowmobiling , i guess'.
  13. i was thinking more in the 105 hp range.thats where that 500 fell in. but unless its a very much lower price, yeah , 600 cc would be the one more would choose if there only seperated by a few dollars.the price difference would need to be significant
  14. also...who reports a post on a forum anyway? ive never reported a post ever in my life on any forum or facebook or any of that. never understood that mentality. 'MMOOMMM...someones being mean to me on the internet !!!" 'well son , have you tried not being such a fag about it ?' lol
  15. i would think anyone who was on there a long time and remembers what it used to be like would love it here , no?
  16. also , is too slow' over there toslow' over here? northstar rick over here ?txl 340 etc
