I need to get out to his place and ride it.....lol...or maybe I shouldn't. I rode an 8000 with QS3's on Sunday, you would not be disappointed until you got back on the LXR and found some real whoops. Pretty slick adjustment on the QS3's that make a real difference. Agree on the coil overs being far better than floats for anything short of a full on off trail sled.

We are going to pound some miles in 5 and 9 on Friday before the weekend and warm up. Stakes are all in. We need more snow west of hwy4, bur east of hwy 4 is rather amazing for December. Trail north of Blyth still closed and gone from map from Blyth clubhouse north to Wingham. The asshats have not helped the situation as some rows of new planted trees were mowed down by sleds along side of the trail.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just looked myself.....5 more days before the 26th, so we should be closer to 15 by the time the 26th gets here At least the drive back from Sauble beach on boxing day should be nice....

irv Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I am hoping to get out tomorrow or Friday, (Time permitting?) to get a shakedown/pre-warm up ride in. The weather for Monday sucks, at this point, and I'm sure it will hurt my local trails significantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02sled Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Just got in from a 115 km trip. Started out at a friends place on the Wasaga water front and did a loop down through New Lowell. Got the itch scratched and had a great time. Tip of the helmet to all of the volunteers that make the trails possible. Conditions, especially for this time of the year ranged from pretty good to really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I was thinking of going for a ride Friday afternoon and again Sat morning but if we don't get any snow it'll be futile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were out Sat and very little traffic. We stopped for lunch and on the way back trails were beat up and plenty of sleds. We managed 140 kms . They're going nonstop at the moment on the trail behind the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my current sled, I toy'd with the idea of a 4-stroke, just could not get over the weight sitting out front....having to move it around, pull it out of the rubarb when I pull a RR and cornering. 13 minutes ago, Reevester said: The 7000 pulled hard to about 60.

Would cruise all day at 70-80 but was just nothing going left in it. I hated how hot it would get in the right foot well with the oil reservoir and exhaust there. Was good to me though and I hope it serves my buddy good for his first newer sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
