Congrats! So safe to say you aren’t hanging up the towel - this past year rejuvenated the passion for the sport! Hopefully others follow suit and look to keep the wheels greased and it’s a good resale year or non current model year for sales this fall.

Well, when Nortel crashed, many people lost huge....not so long ago and perhaps fresh in some peoples mind..... Same as Bre-X......but older so perhaps not as relevant to people today that are mid to late 60's. Were there any more that were as bad....

There are a couple of folks that I see often and talk with about this since they are investment advisors, portfolio managers, etc...... It seems the people most freaking out with sell mentality based on losses on paper are the ones near retirement, which should be the ones with the most experience from the years and should have a diverse portfolio as well, plus are also the ones that will not likely be able to recoup those losses after they sell at this point at those lower numbers, but some people will always be reactive to these sort of things....perhaps some of them still recall the massive losses that people witnessed over the last couple of decades, that never did recover.

I will also add, home invasions have become somewhat norm in some areas, it is not usually just some random house that is picked, there is some "pre-work" done. Anyways, be careful what you may choose to share is all I am saying.

Yep, sign of possible other issues related to not taken care of all that well. we have all seen those sleds towed down the highway with no cover or left parked in the yard for the entire off season, on grass no doubt and with no cover.

Like rust on the lower arm of the torsion spring where it slides back and fourth on the block at the rail or rusted on the entire spring?

Haven’t used it in years so figured I try to get rid of it, bought it from royal years ago, picture is what it looks like. $125 or make an offer if interested. Located Newmarket area.

@Nunz ordered a new sled, I think......keeping the spirit / sport alive!!!!

I cant say that I am surprised by this at all. Easy to look at non current instead or as you have rationalized for your sled, invest a few grand on your sled to the newer specs and ride another year.....or are you reconsidering that now.

Mine leaked a bit on me once, but that was human error....lol. It does suck, you buy these very expensive things to avoid the make shift gas carrying options that usually end in some leaked gas. Can you pressurize the container and then see if you can find the air leak perhaps.

Common thing on those sleds? I think I’ve read something about an issue with the skid on them, maybe a shock issue with track rubbing on it?!?!

Ya, the Doo is pretty well balanced and to me doesn’t feel overly heavy. add a power adder and it feels even more lighter.

The highs and lows can’t be fun navigating but I’m sure a seasoned dealer manages pretty good. still has to be a tough business to be in these days.

Great when you not have a fixed window to ride - not so good when you have a planned saddle bag trip booked a month or two ahead.

Yep, so much that they were red a week before last!
