How many kms on rollers before they failed? I am shocked skidoo can't get this issue resolved. Brp never had these kinds of issues before covid.

The logging on 84 and D really makes things look different eh.

Well the broken rollers saga finally got me yesterday. I limped it to smiths gas station and had it back on the trail today by 1pm. Little tour up D north to the 84, 86,83 82. The logging from last year really opened it up. Could use a groom to pack down the outside corners but a fun little loop, seen 2 opp touring on 84.

We stopped at the highway crossing east of Arthur and had a meeting. We almost turned around but the 4 guys I was riding with couldn’t ride today so we pushed on.

I did another 100 kms today around Elora to Belwood lake. Groomer was out around Elora in the afternoon. Weather was perfect today.

LOL we met a friend south of Alma. The ride from there through the east side of Arthur before the noon hour was pretty wild with the blowing snow and freezing rain. When we got to Arthur we decided to hit B109 and head for home.

Do you think they shut them down this weekend?

Nice that 9r sounds like a great engine. Is it smooth like an 850 too?

I was going to go out yesterday, but kinda glad I didn’t. I didn’t think we were supposed to get all that snow yesterday? today looks like a good ride day though and tomorrow

When I was in Quebec I swapped with a buddy so he could try my 9R. His is a '22 850 XCR and the biggest difference in these motors is the mid-range, in the blink of an eye you go from 30 mph to 80 mph!! The 850 is no slouch but the 9R is extremely responsive!

Horrible day to ride today. High winds and freezing drizzle for the first 2 hours. Left from my driveway, Alma, east side of Arthur and Mountain Forest. Pebbles for lunch again. Came back through west side of Arthur. Luckily 90% of the trails were recent groomed as visibility was near zero at times. 260 kms, home by 5. No plans to ride again until the warm spell passes. The Mach Z now has 9600 kms on it. It’s got me thinking.

For a couple of guys, it was fine. It was clean. Nothing fancy. My buddy prefers to cook rather go to restaurants so he would gladly go back. I’d prefer something with a restaurant close by myself.

Brother in law lives right beside that. It is a poor excuse for a road. Graded once a summer, but hasn't seen gravel in 20 years. Even a good rain in the summer and people get stuck.

Not yet, still have to keep it for when the 3rd child is ready lol. She’s only 5 so I’ll be holding onto it for a while yet.

Want to sell the Bravo?

yep, I don’t mind introducing them to the sport and we do need more of it, but they’re definitely on their own if they want to upgrade. Having said that, it’s certainly hard for most families to even just get by these days. A lot of people simply don’t have any concept of, or know how to manage their money. Unfortunately, most people just live way beyond their means and don’t realize they have a spending problem until it’s too late. We haven’t adjusted our monthly budget in like 5-6yrs, we’ve just reduced our spending on wasteful crap, don’t eat out anymore, don’t take trips down to warmer climates, quit drinking etc. Even though prices have increased dramatically on goods and services, we’ve made adjustments in our living standards to compensate for it, so we’re still able to draw the same amount each month and live comfortably.

It's a 900 cc non turbo two stroke. 850 boast isn't that reliable so hopefully this engine will be proven to be realible with time. Haven't heard of many issues with it yet. Suppose to be around 175 hp. 650, 140, 850 is 165 ish. Just a tad more than 850. Polaris four stroke is a joke. I wouldn't buy one.

Ah I thought it was a 4 stroke.

Nice looking sled. Hopefully weather holds for another month 👍

I believe Poo calls there 4-stroke an S4

My son is on his own for his next dirt bike or sled upgrade. We have set him up with his base - but moving forward he's on for the upgraded units. We'll help where we can, but he understands how lucky he is to have what he has now

I’ve never used ski wheels before and don’t think I ever will. I think my son has his eyes on a 600 ace Neo. But he does drive my viper periodically, so maybe straight to a 900 ace renegade might be the ticket for him. I won’t be buying it, the kids gotta work for their sleds if they want one, so I guess it all depends on how much they want to spend. I have no problem buying them a pass, Val tag, putting insurance on the bravo and paying for fuel for them for now though. It was actually their Christmas gift for this season. I would rather see them spend time outdoors than on useless crap they’ll end up tossing eventually anyways.

900 ace would be a tank for kids to throw around. get a light 2 stroke and teach them how to manage their speeds.

No, it is not. Ski
