I've got one. My daughters started out on 120's, I had a Bravo for a year or so and then an Indy Lite for a year.
The Evo is heads and tails above the Indy Lite for the young ones IMO.
My oldest turns 9 next week and is small for her age. The Evo is smooth and predictable. IMO the key is the clutching.
Engine is similar to older fan cooled carbureted engines, they can be hard on fuel and oil compared to newer stuff.
Let me know if you have any questions
Appreciate the feedback and info.
Mine both started out on 120's as well.
We don't ride very often right now ( sports ) so fuel and oil consumption will be minimal anyways.
Having my son follow me around saturday on his Indy Lite, he did amazing with it and I think it's time to upgrade them now that they are out on "trails" - and not just bombing around fields and lakes.
Thanks again

Looking to see if anyone has any experience with the Polaris Evo?
I haven't had a fan cooled Polaris engine since the 488 Indy Trail - which were amazing in the 90's!
My kids each have Indy Lite 340's - and I am thinking it's getting time to upgrade them.
Anyone have one/ridden one and care to share their thoughts?

Had a great time on saturday riding Muskoka trails.
Thanks everyone

No personal experience with Apex - but a friends deals with them regularly on bikes and has always been very happy.
If you're not hung up on location - Performance Recreations and Rickwards are both awesome dealers.

Have done the RAP more times than I can count.
Hoping to do it with my kids one of these years.
RAN as well
Both are great trips when conditions are in order.

What happened to this multi day, world ending snow storm?. Yet another forecasting boondoggle...
Quite a bit where I am - had to clear the rink etc. at 11:00 p.m., 2:00 a.m. , and again at 5:00 - and calling for more all day today.
Had about enough of it to be honest

I just put 32 miles on going up and down the lake and in a field with my newly licensed 12 year old son.
What a way to spend a PA day.
Complete total fun - nothing like it to be honest.

I notice many of our closed trails are links between clubs just like last season when links were closed to prevent the spread of COVID. Is this policy continuing this year I wonder?
no chance

Looks like port Sydney has starting packing ,but we do need another good blast here to get the green light I'm thinking ,did manage to get out back with the 380 fanner and get some grooming done
That looks better than some of the trails that are "open"

Nothing preventing anything from happening in this crazy world anymore.
Sure You can be named in a lawsuit but we have the Good Samaritan act to protect those people who try to help. As long as they do not act with negligence.
Is it better to try and help or stand back and video?
Standing by to video would likely meet the gross negligence standard and eliminate the defence under the Good Samaritan bill.
Gross negligence is the standard under the bill, not regular negligence.
but to the point, you will need to defend your actions on that turning point.
Either way, the obvious thing to do is try to help - but don't be surprised anymore when you do - it comes back to cause you an awful lot of turmoil and grief, enjoy going through examinations with an aggressive Plaintiff lawyer
I see an awful lot of ridiculous stuff on a daily basis

Really just sad when you have to worry about helping another human being
It is, and after 22 years of handling Casualty Liability claims, I'm very very jaded - but with real world perspective.

Muskoka Sno-Bombers [Bracebridge] recently posted on FB explaining issues regarding trails not open-no base!
We can never seem to win in District 7.
We have a lot of low lying wet/swamp in our area.
Usually - we prefer good solid cold before too much snow - which almost never seems to happen.
This year - we finally got some good cold before the snow - but since then - very little snow.
I love sledding - but I really hate having to depend on weather
-
Hoping for some good news in our area by the weekend, otherwise looks like we're trailering a little further north.

Ciara & her husband Josh are great people-deserve a lot of support-bought The Frosty Pint just before covid & Josh quit his job!
I honestly couldn't imagine the stress they have gone through.
Let's get to the other side here and spend some money in these much needed places!

The Good Samaritan law protects the average people who administer first aid in emergency situations from being sued.
Nice try.
There is nothing preventing someone from naming you in a Statement of Claim.
You can choose to defend and try using that as your first line, but you're getting served.

Oh, and for Nutter and the other OFSC people on here -the on-line driver training course - although very long and let's face it, CAN NOT replace in-person, is done well.
I have my complaints
- but it has some very good material in it for youngsters.
My son is finishing up and is learning quite a bit - my hope is he does not turn into an asshat.
cheers

Suggestion.
Maybe your ambassadors can take pics of the violators' sleds(if they stop..lol) with their registration number. That may help with the deterring future infractions. Can also start a "Tool of The Day" pinned thread on snowmobile social media sites with the pics of the sleds. However that may backfire as they may look at that as a badge of honour or a "trophy" as Nutter says.
Wish you well with it. Look forward to the updates!
Take the picture and identify the rider.
Have landowner provide affidavit he did not give written permission for said person to be on the property.
Have ticket issued

I have witnessed this on more occasions that should never happen - OPP not even looking at the trail pass, I am the one bringing it to their attention as the most important item based on trail usage and how the system works.
Yeah, but is it the biggest ticket/fine - because it would seem to me the focus is on assigning $ and a subject line to the ticket that supports ........
-
Speaking only from my own observations, the enforcement I have seen via the OPP has really been more focused on licence, val tags, ownership and insurance checks, which to me, really, doesn't do much of anything to deter reckless or careless riding - which is what is leading to the demise of trails.
Landowners aren't closing trails because a guy didn't update his val tag, or doesn't have a drivers licence, or didn't purchase a pass either.
Trails are being closed because of idiotic driving habits/actions.
I have seen the odd radar out there- pretty much only on the Seguin, but aside from that, I haven't seen anything in the way of enforcement which would do a single thing to "save our trails". To that end, I also don't want to see too much of that, because if I had to cruise at around at 50km/hr or less all day, it would not be enjoyable and I would probably just ride the lake anyway to have more fun, without the limitations.
It's pretty much an impossible balancing act
Just my own 2 cents.

While it's much appreciated, it's useless without enforcement...
True, but it needs to come from within too.
We can't expect Police and/or people with enforcement power to be everywhere at once - catching people riding off trail etc.

Seems a bunch in here is are jaded.
I guess further to my point before - if you're seriously that angry and pissed off about it - then quit.
Life is too short to spend it being pissed off and angry.
You really have one of two choices
A. Stay in - do what you can and what you feel is right for the activity ( understanding you're efforts may fall on deaf ears - but you SHOULD be able to lay your head down at night comfortably knowing you made an honest effort ), enjoy the great days you do get to have and learn to be okay with it - while it's still there to enjoy......
or
B. Quit - sell your stuff - quit - and have nothing.
I know what it is for me
My sled has come out of the garage less than 10 times in the last 5 years - but it's still there - it's ready to ride, and it will always be there.
I don't envision a day where I don't have a sled - even if it's at a point where all I can do is grab a hand full of throttle and go down the lake - that never gets old for me - it's like I am 12 again every time I can do that.
Good luck on your decision - but choose wisely and in a clear frame of mind.

F'in Rain
in Main Clubhouse
Posted
No way that snow falls behind the rain.
They are always wrong on the + temp - it's always warmer than they "say" it will be - and sustains longer too.
To put it bluntly - it's over for a lot of the province - with next weeks temp - there is no rebounding.
Disaster of a season weather wise.
