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 love the ride from ft fairfield thru easton down to mars hill, doesn't get a lot of traffic till afternoon so we hit it first in the morning. 

Rented a cabin in the NEK over the weekend. Trails and weather held up better than expected. Rode a little over 300 miles.

I see what you mean now, makes it seem closer anyway.

Snowing like crazy here! At least 12" and more to come. Bit heavy and sticky.

Day didn't go as planned. 2012 800 backcountry ate a pb80.

Still 100kms.

 

Side note on our last weekend trip. This 1500 mile ‘19 850 Doo only made it 15 miles before going down. Anti freeze filled the pipe.

And that's why I'm done with two strokes.

Maybe if I win the lottery.

Another 170km. Trails were drifted bad. And super soft.

 

 

Looks like snow is too deep for those faggot ass skidoos.

Ok good

Maybe one last hurrah for the season at the Weenie Roast this weekend. 

Waiting for parts is boring.

Welp, went to go for a ride this morning, warm up the sleds and my buddies sled shuts off after 5min all by itself..won't re-fire, running on 1 cylinder..Never even got my sled off the trailer.. FML.. Hopefully I can get out another time before we are done for the season,..I really don't want to only have 66mi on new sled and done for the year..🤬🤬🤬

Good choice, love the orange. Make use of those zippers in the arm pits and on your back when it gets warm. This is a warm jacket so anything over 30 degrees mine are half open.

Stealths any good?

They're not bad, if it doesn't have a full man door they're a pain to fuel up and that price IMO is a little high

Just got back from a 289 mile loop. Took the tracks from Old Forge up past Tupper Lake, then took C8 all the way back down to Stillwater road.

Good point and prices are definitely out of whack right now.

Was thinking about selling my 2012 R&R inline to downsize a bit......until I got a quote on a new one. WTF?!? So yeah, I’ll be keeping the one I have for now, thanks. 
 

Tried to take the wife, and the in-laws, for a ride last weekend. Even the local trails were too hard for decent cooling. Had to head in after 30 or so miles. Wife was happy. That was the first time she’s been on her sled since 2018. Hoping to still get a decent spring ride in the UP in yet this year. Not holding my breath though. 

Here is another one...2011 Legend 7 x 19....not sure if that price is good or not.

I bought a new 7x19 Legend in 2016 for $9200 CDN . The ceiling/walls were completely finished in the white Kemlite or whatever you call it.
