Said if he sells it, he is buying a Riot. We'll see who wants to pick up a 7500 mile XF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis and Butt-Head Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah, I would prefer BCX XRS hands down!.. hey Wild, since you ride in Old Forge area... which track option would you pick if you were gonna get BCX XRS ? 1.6 IC ? or 2" PowderMax ? or regular Corba with 108 studs ( 2 studs per bar ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted March 11, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 11, 2019 Guessing the Riot is quite a bit cheaper than the Doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got its work cut out for it if it’s going to be as good as a Skidoo Back Country 850. Very impressive sled, and I’ve gotten to spend some time with a couple friends who have them this year.

Original Lummox Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Conditions were top notch for a sunday last afternoon ride in the Pembina Valley Met Snocap at the Morden shack, seen 40-50sleds in total a couple big groups Decided this AM to go for a solo ride, drove down to La Riviere and rode out from there, got lost a couple times but fantastic conditions, IMO if you can take a day this weeken and ride next week starts the melt, I am sure myself I will ride into April somewhere this year. Get out and ride!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 8 hours ago, Jimmy Snacks said: Good on trail review. This guy is a simple. He shouldn't be reviewing anything..."The riser seems kinda low for stand up riding".....on a trail? Retard right off the bat. And about the 5th time he mentioned how the Poo lifted the skis easier, I was done. That's because this is a real suspension and many performance riders prefer to be able to steer with their skis. Also, those trails warrant a turbo sled.. I have no interest in this sled tho so, maybe he is the kind of rider that does. Just pull the coupling blocks, set up the rear for shit and wheelie away! Woo hoo! Retard. 8 hours ago, ArcticCrusher said: You wearing Crocs too? I should have been. And a dress. I was PMSing pretty bad with my clothing malfunctions. Not having my tunes really upset me and a bag of socks under my helmet calling itself a balaclava exacerbated the situation. Luckily, my new goggles kept fogging up so I looked like Chucky Schumer out there. WHAT A GREAT RIDE!!!! Still, I was able to run down a couple of fancies on their new 850 "hypersleds". They were probably still in break-in mode tho. At least they had all matching gear....they looked really good......as they waved me by. Prolly wanted some space to practice their wheelies or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep my KYB 36's and 40's thank you very much. I'd still say the KYB's are the best stockers out there on any sled but the new Fox shocks are seemingly pushing for the top spot. 6 hours ago, Jimmy Snacks said: Any of you Cat guys looking for a shock upgrade...... https://www.hardcoresledder.com/forums/326-arctic-cat/1852410-qs3-r.html#post20179768 That's not a bad price. If somebody could snag all three for $11-1200, it's a good deal. Wonder why he's not selling the center with them? Kinda weird. He's better off selling them as set.

The new 800 is an awful motor. It's like 12-13 cat all over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
