If you ride at night , which we do a lot , you're foolish if you don't carry extra fuel. We've had to use our cans on several occasions for guys with older sleds that don't get the mileage our E tecs get. Had to use it once myself. That’s the biggest problem - they roll up the streets in some of those towns at 6pm. Then you have to go to the local bar and have the bartender call Ethel to come down and turn on the pumps. Done that a few times lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got stuck at Foggys back in the day and had to have a waitress go fill cans for us because the only open pumps were in Munising and they have a sled curfew...that was just the beginning of a long and eventful night/morning. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't feel like buying the stackable gas can when I already have the regular one. Glad we both will have our own fuel can and tunnel bag. Sucked trying to cram stuff for 2 of us in one bag, but I always wanted 2 fuel cans on us and he's been on a 120" the last 3 seasons.

As long as it’s not really cold I’d rather throw a couple in the sled and drink in the woods. We always stop at the end of the ride and sit down for a few.

That's what it's all about with good friends and the laughs. We have friends in all different age groups when we ride. The oldest are in their late 70"s and the youngest in the 40"s.

Somewhere in the LP 2 hours ago, smokin george said: That's an asshole move. We had a spot to park our sleds/atvs when we had our camp as that was the only way for winter access. A buddy loaded all his gear into his skiboose and ran out of gas about 5 miles into the bush. Somebody siphoned all his gas I always put my fuel caddies in the back of the truck or in the trailer at night if we leave the sleds out and we're staying somewhere other than private property. Most of the time I just pull the sleds in the trailer at night and just bring the tunnel bags in. Sometimes it's not feasible tho, but I don't like leaving my stuff out. To many assholes out there.

Tomas. Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Well I picked up a 2008 Polaris RMK 700 last night. I am going to swap a bunch of parts off it and then as long as the deal holds I have a buyer for everything at the same price I paid for it. Buddy I bought it off of has never rode it as the guy he got it off of had a ring meet exhaust port issue. Judging by the track which I think is stock, this thing has no miles on it. Track looks brand new. Edited September 19, 2019 by Tomas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
