  1. That's a nice run, I did it back in 2005. Is A beat up?
  2. By your reply we can all read....."I don't take it personally in the slightest"....lol.....major butt hurt....lol
  3. The beautiful Thrift Lodge!! Enjoy, are you heading to Fraserdale/Abitibi?
  4. Condolences Soup. Wish you and your family well.
  5. Puzzle Vortex.......some day you will get it.......but likely not. Actually I've found a new purpose for the dipstick...bend over buckle boy...lol
  6. The dip stick was for the purpose of accuracy at the refill stop. It's an aircraft thing, I referenced it as more of a guideline, but I wouldn't expect you to understand. I know you love to argue. Just trying to help you understand, but the Puzzle vortex is alive and well....as usual....and yes simple stuff, try to follow along..... If you want to find the correct delta or a trend you have to apply a bit of science, you can't just look at what someone adds per tank and draw an unqualified conclusion.
  7. Oh I thought that was my Pro Ride, looks identical to the 2003 Rev
  8. No you don't and that was the point. Burping or purging the tank is very subjective, it's just never the same....I.E. If you spend a few minutes you can add between 3-6 liters or burp once and add 1 or 2 liters, but it is not consistent. If you stop it at the filler neck, as you do every time, you generally get a consistent fill up. If you are doing a real fuel test, everyone needs to be on the same playing field. The only way to do a real fuel mileage test is to empty the tank and fill each sled with 5 gals, You need a graduated dip stick calibrated for each sled, ride the same speed until you run out of gas.....or you could just find the EPA sticker the manufacturer supplies and go with that. I've done a couple fuel mileage checks this year where I fill to the bottom of the filler, ride the day and fill to the same filler neck mark, no burping. I'm sitting at 11 - 12mpg, best was 13mpg on my sled, my old 1200 was the same.
  9. So I assume you didn't dail in the suspension to your weight?....you basically jumped on his sled and beat the shit out of it then came up with this excellent review, your buddy must be a great guy...or sucker... Let's just pretend you are like 100lbs heavier than your buddy, or maybe 104 lbs, just guessing.......Maybe next time, which I doubt there will be, you can dail it in correctly before stating the R Motion is superior for which it is not..... The Puzzle Vortex is an amazing thing.....
  10. Guys don't fall into the Puzzle Vortex....its like walking into the light, except it's an empty swirling pool of Snowgoer Mags
  11. I agree, my 2010 1200 would burn the same as my brothers 2011 800 Rush, it was back and forth without a clear winner. When I fill I always burp the tank which usually results in adding another 3 to 4 liters. A guy I rode with a couple of weeks back has a 1200 and he never burped the tank at fill up, as a matter of fact, at one fuel stop the fuel attendant asked why he doesn't use that method. I forget his exact response but I believe it was a sarcastic one.
  12. You have a buddy? And one with an XCR? I hope he doesn't read this.
  13. Ton of butt hurt on the last few pages......I took a day off from FS and missed all the bull shit....funny stuff
  14. Ok....my XCR really works great. Thanks to Tommy and Glenn
  15. Too bad Tommy didn't have my old 800 to run against that 850 The 140 hp Indy ran 110 mph in 1000ft, the 170hp 850 ran 113 in 2500 ft, just saying.....It would be great to run heads up....otherwise, like I always say......, unless there are other comparable sleds.......top speeds mean nothing.... Tinker Tommy shoot out coming up....
  16. So the XCR is yours....nice...my brother had the 99 XCR 800, worked well, the 2000 chassis was a nice change.....and worked very well
  17. Tommy what year is your XCR, I've always liked those old triples, expecially the 2000 - 2003's models. They were lake rockets
  18. And Puzzle knows a Polaris would never sell....good to see Tommy back
  19. I just spoke to him and yes still plenty of drunks. He said he needed to be very careful.
  20. The event in the Haliburton Forest I mentioned yesterday http://www.haliburtonecho.ca/three-snowmobile-collisions-in-two-days?id=876
