Track speed ≠ land speed. Unless you're on a 137. fuck, I forgot the track length variable. maybe someone can sort both equations? I'm a simple dummy. 2 minutes ago, Not greg b said: What about a mountain sled that spins the track at 90 mph all the time but only moves about 10mph across the snow? don't drag that nonsense into this, I'm still gutted about Kenny gettin kilt. also, it's PBR night because Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet my XCR is incredibly low, given how long it takes to warm up vs. my previous 800's and 850's. I think the highest number I saw for a 2-season sled was 29-point-something & that was on my 2016 Pro-X. It's funny that you mention the warm up time. I'm a bit of a stickler for letting them "warm up" before it's hammer time. I used to check the coolers and when they felt warm, I figured it was ok to start slow riding until they came up to full temp. I'm mostly riding Cat sleds and they switched to a two stage thermostat years ago. I don't know if it's the thermostat or different flow, but it takes longer to reach running temps now. I can go and make a sandwich while I'm waiting on some of those cold days. In the old days, I had a few sleds with higher average speeds, but I didn't have time to take a piss before the sled was up to running temps. I've never timed them to see how much longer they take now, but it is a significant increase in time. It probably adds up a lot when you do that every day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he knows to the minute for the sleds. And his tractors, trucks, ect. That would be a random number he would know off the top of his head lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a random number he would know off the top of his head lol That's funny as hell and so true. For the rest of you guys, I'll give a little back story. Most of the time I ride with this bud who is a "numbers person" in every possible way. He farms a fair number of acres and raises quite a few hogs too. His operation is by the numbers. And he knows the numbers. He can rattle off the cost breakdown of an equipment purchase to cents an acre while adding in depreciation, fuel, interest, etc. Ask how many hours are on the combines, tractors, other equipment, or vehicle odometers, he knows exactly how many. Those numbers are rattling around in his head all day long. The numbers thinking rolls over into sledding. We will fill all the sleds and he's doing the mileage math on each one as the nozzle clicks. If we talk about options for trails on the day, he says that's 26.4 miles + 18.1 after the intersection, bla, bla, bla. The numbers are right there and they are dead on. He could also tell you the average mph of any one of our sleds right off the top of his head. Our group usually stays in places where we can cook. He brings bacon. Don't know his butcher, but the bacon is dang good. One place we stayed for years was owned by an older couple. It was common to have them join for breakfast and the bacon was their thing. The old lady just started to call him Mr Bacon. That rolled over to everyone else using the same term. In that part of the U.P. he is known as the bacon man. Ironically, his first name is Kevin. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) After hopping on a buddy's new 900R Doo Renny yesterday playing in the fields, yeah... if I ran lakes, rail beds or just high speed areas on a regular basis, I get it. Kinda' addictive tbh. Makes good noises in sport mode. Like it, but don't need it. Edited December 18, 2022 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
