The trail manners bridge the gape between a two and 4 stroke. Power isn’t up to par of a thundercat. The active suspension is noticeable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 No nerds gaped today, but took off at 3 after mounting some new shocks on Blue Betty. Put on 65 solo miles. Conditions were pretty damn good considering the lack of snow. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Put 50 miles on yesterday afternoon, being a total degenerate the whole time. Ran into the Trailing Arm Mafia while putting on gas. Of course one of them had to tell me how their old XC600 is just as fast as the new stuff. Met them again when I stopped for a Dr. Pepper a couple towns over. Groomer going out tonight, but I'm feeling like the groomer ran me over with whatever is going through our house.

Around town and several fields were scratchy and/or windblown and need more snow. Other areas were sweet for many miles. They need more snow for sure. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can handle a little back pain riding the old sleds for 1 1/2 months because the overpriced new sleds cause far more pain in the wallet than they do the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clean older sled costs $3k+ in these parts. I paid $6k for my ‘21 Indy 600 with 3k miles on it. Sold my 2006 Fusion 600 for $2500. Zero regrets. Right place at the right time. I won’t argue about the price of new either and avoid it like the plague, if I can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Another afternoon of social distancing before the real cold sits in. Currently -18°F. No riding tomorrow, maintenance and wrenching day. Maybe back to riding on Monday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
