  1. This is my playground when I'm at the cottage. It takes a lot of snow to cover all the rock that is in this area. Big reason why the seasons tend to be short there. I"ve been running off trail in this area for weeks now. Very scenic area. 

  2. That sign is right in the back of my yard. My neighbour has it there now that he is retired, or close to it, he is home a lot more and it bugs the hell out of him. I'm a bit further from the hydro line than him but I do here the cans when I'm outside. Some will smash it going right past that sign. There a lot of real ignorant people out there. I have a tune on my 9000 but with the stock exhaust for this very reason. No extra noise with it at all. Its about as high as you can go without playing with the exhaust.

    Last week we dropped into a crick/tree line from above. I made it fine, and turned down the crick a bit, but couldn't really see my chum above to wave him down, but figgered that he seen that I was OK at some point. Then finally I hear him comming down, but ... with the reverse beeper going off. LOL!

     

    It's not uncommon for some folk to put in reverse on decent - which allows them to roost up some snow ahead of them and dig a grave to slow or even stopon the way down - compared to just skidding all the way.

     

    :D

    Thats cool. I've never heard of that. 

  4. I had the 2017 crosstrek 7000 and put 4500 miles on it. It was flawless really. This was my first cat. The engine is very reliable and coming off a 1200 ski doo the cat chassis impressed me a lot. The suspension was good but this model had the cheaper versions on it and could bottom out pretty easy in the big whoops in the northern corridor. I decided the next year to go up to the ZR9000 and love it just the same, actually more only because this one has the nice shock package. I have about 4000 miles on this one and between the two I had zero tri hub issues. The early ones didn't have the ability to replace the bearings but now they do and is doing just fine. I'll be checking and/or replace these bearings this fall. I am very impressed with what cat had to offer and the yamaha engine is great.

    You put the wire inbetween the plastic and the fabric and fish it up through the chin strap.

    does the battery die quickly for you? I have the same one and always have to keep it warm when we stop to get a few hours out of it.
