You're reading the reviews about them in the magazines and online, before production has even started.

Angry ginger Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I remember there were some early production revs spring of 02 with vins that ended up getting sold, you would see some around here prob because the factory is just over the border.

Beavis and Butt-Head Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Yup, last time I saw a sled that says "Prototype " written on white area on the tunnel was 08 Mach Z X which got canned over that summer, I thought 08 Mach ZX looked great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSFB Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 What's everyone wearing for boots nowadays? I need to get something new. Mine are pretty worn out. Klims with the Boa laces hold up well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too easy to rip the seat on the sled when off trail riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As close as you are to Quebec, not surprised. 21 minutes ago, SSFB said: What's everyone wearing for boots nowadays? I need to get something new. Mine are pretty worn out. Klims with the Boa laces hold up well? Castle X. Finally had to retire my Baffins last year that the wife got me for a Christmas present back when we were still dating 20+ years ago. Love em. Kid has FXRs. Those are great too. Whatever you do, skip the BOA system. If that snaps on you while you're out riding, you're fucked.

I'm making shit up about riding one of SnoTech's pre production demo sleds It was all part of our imagination Yep. One of jays buds showed up with an EB skidoo etec 600. Real nice sled. Had the trick shocks on it. We all liked it - but would probably buy the 850. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Al let him take the 18 1/2 600r but he had to bring it back after that say we rode it cause it was going back to Al's to be on display in his showroom and then back to Quebec.

Tomas. Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I have the Klim adrenaline GTX with the boa system. I like the boot but the boa system is a bit of a novelty and I won't be buying it again Edited November 8, 2019 by Tomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
