Well, I got my first ride in!!

 

I put on a few miles going through the fields and ditches close to home. 

 

My suspension is fantastic, thank you very much @AKIQPilot!!!!!!

 

Sled is handling sharp.

 

 

 

But I am still limited to 67mph (verified by my phone's GPS). It is tearing me up. I don't know what else to do with it. It fucking sucks. If I didn't like the sled as a whole so much I would let my other half ride it and I would take her crossfire 600. It at least does 90mph. I am fucking choked.

I remember wrestling my sleds in and out of pick up trucks. Haha fuck that noise! 

Dragged this old whore out of storage today, got her staged for 3 weeks when she goes north for the winter.   

Glad I decided to swap tracks cause this bearing was about to tap out! And the old track wasn’t far behind either lol

 

That a Storm track?  I had one on my 129 - liked it.

Why? I hate old sleds. In fact I hate old anything cars, bikes, broads, etc...

Oh I don't know, just maybe it's something he's interested in you fucking idiot.

I've got a hankering for an LS swapped fox body or a square body pickup/blazer for some reason.   Otherwise old shit does not interest me at all.  If I had a toy barn an old sled on he wall would be cool.

What's on the floor? Looks good.

The guy we bought the house from, picked up all of the flooring from a bowling alley that was remodeling. It’s super hard but slippery as balls when wet.  I made a work bench out of it too which is awesome.  It’s non absorbent so oil and whatnot spills are easy to clean up.

Yup.  2020 Backcountry 850 base model that replaced the Renegade Turbo.  Pretty happy with it so far, although I still miss that turbo.

You liked the 900t?

Loved it, best motor in the biz IMO.  I don’t think they make it in 146 or 155 though.

Haha, first sled I owned all by myself was a 1988 Arctic Cat Cougar. I would spend 30 mins riding, and 5 hours fixing. Not picking on Cat, all the sleds my dad owned were the same way. 

We had some 70s Ski doo free air sleds. Ride them for a bit. Then wait til the CDI cooled back down so they would run again.

My dad used to have a saying in regards to 60's and 70's snowmobiles............."before you leave to go riding, you must tie a rope with a magnet on the rear bumper to catch all the parts that fly off".

My uncle had a garage full of early 70’s sleds. We’d show up and he was always working on something. Red ones not running today, ride the blue one lol.

My old Rupp was that way but when she was running I thought she would do a 100 across the lake.🤣
