    A few years. I moved to Alberta in 2014.

    Should we all send him a text letting reminding his what a piece of garbage he bought?  While he is in for a clutch, he might as well do crank bearings.

    I remember when I really started looking for another sled I thought man, these things are all cheap pieces of junk.  Bunch of cheap imported aluminum castings bolted to a sheet metal frame and riveted together.  

    As with all new designs, someone puts it out there and someone else makes a better copy of it.  The Rev helped push the sport.  I think you will see cat push the rider even further forward with the next chassis.

    What era M series?  I know nothing about the mountain segment.

    He is talking about the last 2 years of m series with the alpha mono rail rear suspension.

  3. There are tons of yote's out by my place. Makes the wife real nervous when she takes the dogs out at night, especially when they are howling. I have also been told we have some wolves around but I have not seen one. 

    I took these pictures in Edmonton a couple of years ago. Crazy to see one this bold. I was sitting in my car waiting at a light.

    Nice!
     

    I’m a diamond pounder but would love to do some mountain riding. got an 18 XRS 850 for the year. Should be fun.
     

    if you’re ever in the WI area for some reason hit us up, we got some spare sleds for you to rock. :bc: 

    Well thank you! And the same to you if you ever find yourself way north of the border half way to AKiqpilot's place. I also have a spare/the wife's sled that is available.

    I am/used to be a diamond pounder as well when I lived in Ontario. I have been out west 5 years now and only have been to the mountains 3 times. I got trail passes this year and plan to put on a few klicks.

    I don't have many people to ride with and the one group of guys I did go with only wanted to go to the same location over and over again. Never wanted to change it up. Plus it being $700 for a day and a half of riding gets pricey when you are young and just bought your first place lmao.

    I wanted a dragon when they first came out. Always liked the look of them. Good looking sled man and sounds like you got it set up well. I’m ready to ride myself. 50” base up in northern WI and the UP has even more. I’ll be going the 27th.

    Ya. I am a huge fan of them as well. 

    I have owned a 2007 snowchecked nuclear sunset orange 600 cfi, and a 2010 d6 switchback and loved both of them.

    I also own every single Polaris snow brochure from 2007 to 2020 other than 2015 I think. 

    If I had a truck and deep pockets, I could make the 5 hour drive to the mountains where they have been sledding since October but I don't have the prerequisites for trip lol.

  6. Well I got out this afternoon for a little shake down. There isn't enough snow and what is there is fluff with absolutely no base. 

    A couple of first impressions for the first ride of the year. 

    The sled handles 1000% better than it did last year. It turns sharp and precise. The riding position so much nicer with my taller handlebar setup now.

    I was only able to get it up to 74 mile an hour which is only 3 miles an hour faster than I could do last year but I didn't really have the space to do it and I did that going down the range road so it was a little sketchy to say the least.

    it seems snappier but without running one setup to the next one right after the other not having eight months in between it's hard to say if it is snappy with the new clutch spring and non wore out weights.

    The biggest biggest thing I noticed while riding was.....

     

    How horribly out of shape I am LMAO.

    What do you want a heated sweater/vest for her for? 

    She is always cold especially at her work. Plus being Alberta, -40f isn't unheard of lol. So I was thinking a heated sweater or vest would be good for work as well as under a jacket while outside

  9. I am looking at getting a heater sweater/vest for my other half for Christmas. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? I looked at the Milwaukee but due to the battery placements (directly into your kidneys) I am looking elsewhere.

    Thanks
