Vinney Crockett? 5 minutes ago, steve from amherst said: On a sled trail I can nav with a map. A lot of NH and VT are logging roads. Logging roads are purposely not built straight. Well, you can do a lot more than just tell the direction you are headed with a proper compass and map. It takes a bit of training and experience though.

I rarely run hard any more and when I do it is not all day any more but a few miles then I get lazy. In the trails here a 650 would be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of places don't sell em like they used to, everyone can use the polaris app or gps so why bother carrying a bunch of maps around?

I'd be talking out of my ass if I claimed to know about Cat and Yammi tech, but at the very least all Ski-Doo motors are 87 compatible. They have knock sensors and the ECU automatically adjust to the octane you put in the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall you and Pierre getting lost going to dinner last year in the Crandon area last year The map is a big picture reference and is great to upload into the cranium pre-ride, and when the electronics don't work oryou just get tired of moving around a 7" screen, just get the big picture out. The compass is my security blanket, whether I have to walk out of the woods or I'm on horizonless water, or in the fog all I need is a heading. I may not always know where I'm exactly at, but I'm never lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I want to like the VR1, but it looks like an Axys fucked a ProCross and this is what came out. I miss the Indy homage triple louvres. 650 has the same stroke as the 850. Quite a departure from Polaris' time-tested shorter-stroking 600 mills started with the '01 original VES 600. Should be a torquey little bastard. Edited March 3, 2020 by Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis and Butt-Head Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 this color reminds me of ( I cant remember the extact year ) but wants to say 1990 Indy 400 liquid cooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 We were just talking about how cool it would be if you could Bluetooth the app to the gauge and do a group ride on the gauge. They must have heard us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis and Butt-Head Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 this pic above is 650 patriot. got it speced out. $15,922 seems a bit steep for a 650 class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got the white hood in 1988. Reminds me of a 1988 Indy 650. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
