Beavis and Butt-Head Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 58 minutes ago, Angry ginger said: local company here sells complete ATV and sled maps, in garmin format and if you backload your data it compares what is open from year to year based on where people have been riding as well as communicating with clubs. they give you a year worth of updates when you buy, it's pretty awesome and while not perfect it's close. Also you can choose to have it show old closed trails which is nice to be able to use them as shortcuts. what was the rental costs ? $245 a day ? plus $1,000 ? ( you will get it back when you take it back in ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle for a launch edition or buy a temp sled for the rest of this season and spring order is the question. Found a scaffold axys 800 switchback and 500ss 2007 rev for a good deal might run over and look at those. prob be able to sell end of season and break even and take the boy a few times.

Scaffold axys is the best trail sled ever made. If you are going to ride mostly trails it is the shizzle. The Matryx is more comfortable but doesnt rail like the scaffold does.

Anler Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The Rush is fun to ride but the switchback pro s is better all around for comfort and handling. I am still thinking about getting a switchback pro s or xcr before they stop making them. Its an awesome machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 One of my riding buds works for a dealer network and gets a demo every season. He could ride whatever sled he wants to but he spring checked an xcr switchback 850. It still hasnt arrived yet so he has been riding a new matryx. But every time I talk to him he bitches about his sled not being ready yet LOL. That should tell you something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just so many great sleds coming out of polaris now. That one is probably going to get the axe this year and its a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 i really want the traditional tunnel for playing on logging roads which i like. I think my buddy will also order a Matryx 137 with the 1.5 for next year and his wife will get his XC 137 800. Somehow my sons finagled his was to a Monday-thursday night friday Day work schedule so he can ride too which will be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not like they just give them sleds it is part of the compensation package they accept when they take the job. And every one I know says they figured that in to the salary when negotiating .

Part of his terms when they hired him was he gets a demo sled to use at his leisure. But he can ride any of them. Polaris, Yamaha and skidoo. The sled being ready has nothing to do with them fucking with him it is about supply issues. Polaris sales are up 200% this year across all segments. They are kicking ass.

Angry ginger Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 with retail sales being strong nit surprised employees weren't getting sleds. Dealer I spoke to today has no idea when the next few VR1's they have on order will show up. Prob last week of the season just to be a pain.

DriftBusta Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 17 hours ago, Anler said: It works great. The only problems I have with the pidd is it's too small to read while riding and it runs out of storage if you put on alot of miles. Basically once you get over 300+ miles you will have to save or clear the track and start over. But as far as gps it works great. Exactly how i would describe my first gen PIDD. And mine had all the NE trails on it. 3 hours ago, Anler said: The Rush is fun to ride but the switchback pro s is better all around for comfort and handling.

And poo is putting workers sleds last in line on the production schedule. They can go and get one from the indy fleet reserved for hourly workers to check out for weekends but not the same lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
