Angry ginger Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 down to 1 sled, sent the boys 500ss down the road this afternoon. Used sled prices are silly, i have now sold Revs in 2009(05 Renegade 600sdi), 2015(05 renegade 600sdi) and 2021(07 Rev 500ss) within a few hundy of each other. Now i am into my Pro S 800 for $5400 which i think was a good deal. Maybe the GGL was right and i should have asked more Headed to the garage after dinner to put the new spring and riser on the fucker assuming the snow melts off it and will be ready for this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted February 10, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 10, 2021 I’ve got Friday off to ride this week and the 800 is down. I’ll be back on the 08 600 this weekend. Conditions are too perfect. It’s a great sled anyway. Did a full service on it in dec. cleaned the power valves, new belt. She’s a runnah! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he uninterested? he would not commit to wanting to ride so off it went. We go through this every few years. Outside a 1000 mile saddlebag trip he usually rides 3-400 miles and then takes a few years off. Told him I would keep the Pro S and spring order and he still wasn't interested. He had a sled in 15, 18 and 2021. Edited February 11, 2021 by Angry ginger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my wife's last sled halfway thru her last season when she hurt herself....it had just under 7300 miles....bought it new for her 2.5 years earlier. We had some good trips with other couples and even better trips just the 2 of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya my wife's like that with sxs if there's mud and water....she wants no part of it....but loves flying around the desert. Thankfully we have some dry trails here though so she comes on some rides.

That's to bad. Both of my sons would be upset if we got back before dark. We had at least 2 2000 mile seasons and they were riding 340 and 440 fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh so he's not a kid anymore....I gave up trying to get the boy to ride at 12 yrs old. The other boy had no interest whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm pretty sure I could put the boy out on the 120 at 6am and wouldn't see him until 8pm except to piss and grab some milk and a snack if he had unlimited gas. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted February 12, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Blew a belt 10 minutes into my ride today. Then rode 300kms of great trails under sunny skies. My day ended 20 minutes from the trailer. Engine shut off when I braked for a corner. Hmm, odd. I rolled to the side of the trail to take a look. Oil dripping from the belly pan. Towed it to the nearest road. Luckily one of the guys I was riding with had a buddy no who lived 5 minutes away. He brought a trailer and took it to his house along with the guy who was riding my back up sled while I rode back to the truck. now it’s in my shop. Everyone said check the filter first. Sure enough, it’s backed off. Pulled both plugs and maybe 3 tablespoons came out of the motor, nothing from the tank. Going to change the filter and refill. Hoping to hell I didn’t do any internal damage. A shop changed the oil the last time. Edited February 12, 2021 by Blackstar 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check to make sure the filter gasket isn't doubled up on it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 12, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 12, 2021 Good ride yesterday. Pounded the shit out of Vermonts cow country. Pulled back into where the trucks were for sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
