Nice....but too clean for what I'd do to it. lol I had a Formula deluxe until recently. Known as a sleeper sled with the electric start and reverse and hang with the best of them across the lake. I still have my old Poo XC700 SP too. I beat the old stuff up when snow is low fall and spring. Mud, gravel, rocks, stumps, they dont care. Just need a little lube on the slides once in awhile. Great fun.

We need a Yamidoo. My wife had an old Apex and I had a Yamicat zr7000. I was happy with the power of both and they sounded like muscle. I enjoy the creature comforts of new tech, but an old tripple/tripple still puts the biggest grin on my face.

Had an 06 500ss for my first Doo. Didnt mind it other than the knee's hurt against the console. Sold it pretty quickly. Next one was a 17 Blizzard. Hated. Last one was a 01 Formula 700 Deluxe. Loved it. My grandkids still beat on it. The only sled that nearly made me buy new was the Catalyst. Mainly a Yamaha and Polaris guy. I'll be looking for a used XCR or another XC at some point this summer/fall.

And what will potential tariffs do to the end cost of a Polaris in Canada.

Another foot or so in the last 24 hours. Took an hour to clean up 2 vehicles and no snow removal yet. I dont know how any plastics on our vehicles are still attached. The sidewalk plow leaves a mound as does the road plow. I got sick of trying to move the heavy shyte and just get a run at it for the last week.

We asked for it. Good ol fashion winter. White out's suck after you count to 30 and still cant see past your wipers, especially on roads like hwy 11. I cant count the times this year I've had to stop and push snow off my windshield while trying to get to customers with no heat. Traction mats, 100'snatch strap, come along, shovel and a bucket of stove ash in the van. Good thing about fresh powder daily is there's always snow removal equipment of some sort going by if you need a tug.

You could head out High or spence street to Carlisle, go south to bruce road 3 and pick your way over to highway6. Any roads running north/south might be nasty until you get further inland. Depends how motivated you are. Winds are still westerly 30kms. Highway 21 seems like it's been closed for a month now. Thats about how long my grandaughter has been off school. lol

Thats alot of driveway. You must hate the windy days. lol I think I burn more gas in the snowblower than my wife does in her little Honda CRV

I have a small lot in town and I cant move now, Banks at the end of the drive are ten feet tall and I already paid someone to take some snow away. lol I'm in no rush to buy another sled. I hate borrowing a sled because if it breaks I feel responsible to replace it that day so the person wont be off the trails waiting for repairs or worse...insurance. We have a big shop in the country close to the trail so we have family and friends sleds around for the winter. My wife and I had a couple out the other day to assist with suspension setup for the owners. It always makes me nervous using someone else's stuff. My wife likes to go fast and I swear she broke 100mph multiple times while road running coming home on Friday.
-
It's been awhile since we've had this much snow. I have to stand at the end of driveway and let my wife know when she can back out. Snow banks around town are out of control.
-
On a sled. I still have an ol' Polaris xcsp700 and access to other sleds. I rode an xcr650 and my wife rode an X800. She rarely rides anymore but had fun. We did alot of road running as she got tired on the way back. Plenty of snow on the roads.
-
I was through Meaford, Thornbury and up on the mountain behind Collingwood yesterday. Snow snow and more snow. It's been snowing here all day today and supposed to keep snowing til Tuesday night.
-
I used to have one of those. lol. I ran her over 18,000 miles then swapped for a low miles RXL. Ran great when it left other than it popped a plug once a week or so. RXL was about the same. Our crew lived on our sleds nearly every night.

Biggest regrets or missed Opportunities.....Sledding

Thats good news. I was never actually without a sled. Just sold the latest one I had purchased. -
More money than brains. I was looking at a 24 left over yesterday for 24k Canadian. That one is nearly $150, 000 Canadian. I'm just busting open the crate and riding it anyway.
