  1. Never had a tear/out - exchanger issue ever. Every sled I have owned except my 500 Indy Trail has been studded. Won't ride Ontario without em
  2. My dad is 76 and rides a 121" Indy 600. My mom is 75 and rides a 121" Indy 600 They work well
  3. They made decent horsepower, they were just built better and with better quality components. Things/times have changed, but I still would not hesitate to purchase a current two stroke, and certainly would not fear holding it to the bar. I'm not a four stroke sled guy - not sure I ever will be. I guess like everything else, I'm stubborn, I like what I like and will go down the with the ship if I don't want to change.
  4. I don't understand why all the hate or reliability non-sense on 2 strokes.................. It is all we have ever owned, period, and in all those years and all those sleds, we have blown up 2. My Ultra 680 blew up after 5000 miles with heavy heavy mods to it - it was going to happen - no way to avoid it with what was done to it. The other was an XC 600 - had less than 800 miles on it - under warranty - never happened again. We have owned so many 2 strokes between myself and my parents and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one for a second. We mostly ride Muskoka, tight twisties, the idea of throwing a 4 stroke around there all day still has no interest to me.
  5. Correct if I am wrong, but hasn't quite a bit of "red tape" now gotten in the way of just welcoming volunteers?
  6. lol - sounds like when I tried to slide into my old barefoot wetsuit a few weeks ago. The front zipper was not happening!
  7. Lol, not leather, but I still have it. It seems very puffy compared to my Klim coat
  8. Nope, had steel skis. put the ski skins on them
  9. I have the bill somewhere - but I want to say around $7,600.00 or so. I got a jacket and $500.00 in snow check money too - that paid for ski skins, skid plate, light cover, trim kit.
  10. No discussions yet, we'll see how much etc. Loving the look though - 96 XLT was the first sled I bought on my own, snowchecked, so the nostaliga with this color scheme has sucked me right in lol
  11. The 120 was great on hard pack, and good in relatively minor snow. they will all get stuck in "real" snow - they're so light and only have so much jam. My son primarily rode them in a field and out on the lake - lots of room to get to know how to use it and not hit anything in the process I will add we made money on the used one and came very close to break even on selling the brand new one we bought - got more than our money's worth and my son had a blast on them.
  12. We had 2 120 Cats: 1st one was used - 2nd one we bought brand new My son started on them at age 4 We then went to a 340 Indy Lite, then to a Polaris EVO, and now onto a Sport 550
  13. Condolences to his friends and family.
  14. Yikes, that’s a lot of inventory. Forced too I am sure!
  15. Can't ride it in the winter either!
  16. Saw a flatbed with Ski-doos on it yesterday. seems early
  17. And that’s why neighborhood's with old infrastructure have sewer back-ups, systems were designed for average, not average in 1 hour storms.
  18. Been too quiet around here!
  19. That’s good, but if they were Polaris, would be even better!
  20. Litigation has prompted that. Minimum Maintenance Standards exist.....
  21. I'm not an Engineer - but isn't that essentially the same thing?
  22. so like toilet paper in 2020 then!
