Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 17, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 17, 2023 I tow them out about 1/8-1/4" to prevent darting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 17, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Going back to 2017 I can think of one sled we towed other than for gas/accident. 2019 Yamaha SRX. Regulator went out and wasn't charging the battery. Edit: 2013 XF1100 Turbo (boosted) broke a jackshaft. I had some damage on my 2018 Winder to the clutches but was able to limp it off the lake to the cabin. Again....modded sled.

Edmo Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Polaris outnumbers the other sleds bigly in the western yoop, like 2:1. Skidoo is second. AC and yammi a distant 3rd. Just what I’ve noticed lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2021 Indy XC 850 137" but selling it this coming Saturday and my trailer,..Lack of snow, my main riding buddy's sled has been broken for 2 years, so I spent all of last year riding by myself, not doing that again this year.

So it's time to move on,..Looking at buying a car and getting back into running Watkins Glen and a few other tracks in the area on track days.. We are on the same page. I’ve been dabbling with some over-landing set up. if I want to ride - it’s easier to rent for 1 or 2 trips per year. Chasing snow gets old. Even in Ontario I noticed over the past 10 years traffic really picked up. Plus a place called Halfway is closed this year. Glad o made Moosonee when we did. I agree - time to move on. I sold my trailer a couple months ago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
