Gym's not a believer that such rides actually happen, Gym said these guys just ride keyboards and not snow machines. Gym's Commodore 64 altered him of your inquiry. Gym never leaves Norman County or the MN speed limited trails. Gym doesn't see any Skidoo's in Norman County. Gym only see's people riding Polaris snowmobiles. Gym doubts these fellers would enjoy Gym wheelieing and roosting all over their oddly colored machines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 75% of their sleds won't start and 95% won't have a recoil or know how to jump their sleds. yes, this was how we started the first ride of the year last season. three dead doo batteries, no pull starts. dumb On 11/1/2022 at 10:28 PM, Badger** said: You mean one piece jumper suits that has to be the tallest midget I've ever seen?

Our trailer was pretty much the only one not part of the ride. Mostly Ski-Doos. One guy saw my sled in the trailer said he heard Vipers wouldn't start when it was cold out. It was damn cold out one morning, like -20-25 or so. They had a few pickups driving around jump starting a shitload of the Doos. The Viper fired right up. Miss that sled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsky Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Haven't used or needed a fucking rope to start any of my sleds since 2005. Knuckleheads that leave a sled sitting with a battery in it for months on end without maintaining it deserve whatever they get whether it's at the beginning of the season or in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F that... I'd run it till the track is junk, and start over. Changing studs sucks moose cock, less than 1/3 of them come apart without cutting.

Not greg b Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I am calling bs on a parking lot of skidoos not starting in the cold. About everyone I ride with now has had multiple skidoos for a long time. we have never had one not start because it was to cold. Hell even the pos skidoo I had that had every problem in the world started just fine in the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
