A match to my 800. I seen a 600 and 800 on kijiji with 260kms on them both. Jeff in Cambridge. I showed my wife the matching 600 and she said absolutely not. She said no to the Doo too. I should have just bought the Polaris and said, SURPRISE! lol After 45 years of knowing her, I think she's serious when she says she's done with the sport. It's been a few years coming.

Wow. I forgot how much shyte I would need starting from scratch. I sold everything last year with intentions of getting out. I should have known better. In the last two weeks I bought a trailer, followed by a sled and then got a second trailer more suitable. Helmet, stand, jacket, lift, dollies and fluids. Havent had time to even look at the sled yet and of course I need the trail pass. Fortunately, last years sale cash went back into the trusty mad fund.

I've used shims on quite a few sleds but cant say I noticed a difference in wear. In cases of running railbeds at high speed it made a scary darting situation go away while keeping a single runner.

Ok, so I'm an old guy with a new liquid cooled procharged hemi computer and I dont know what to do with it.

Thread started optimistic.....for about 5 posts. lol I got a trailer one day, sled the next day, picked up a helmet, picked up a jacket and stand today. My wife always says to me, "the world just opens up for you". So..... we are going to get snow dammit!!!

Went to Royal this morning and picked up the FXR Octane F.A.S.T. All the price tags said $429 as does the website. Cant get that pic upright no how.

I had older Doo's from the 90's and mid 2000's that were fine. Had a 17 Blizzard and hated it. Wife liked it, so thats all that mattered

If it was the Polaris 600 I would have bought it right away. Just not a Doo guy.

My wife lost interest but I might need a backup just incase. Nice package for the right price?? https://www.kijiji.ca/v-snowmobile/owen-sound/2019-skidoo-mxz-tnt-600r/1702922041

I have a 2 piece float assist suit I mainly use in the boat or extremely cold days on the sled. I rarely run any lake trails these days. I am open to anything though. Even looked at mono suits. I wear large size in most gear, but I also have xl that fit like large. Thats why I hesitate to order online. No dealers close to me and canadian tire doesnt have their snowmobiling stuff out yet. I may have to head to the sled show or royal distributing. I have HJC and Choco gear but it's old and dated. Here's last years old and dated. Maybe time for an upgrade?? lol

The line I was looking at is more suited to tobogganing than sledding. Get what you pay for.....errr, used to. lol I'm a little apprehensive about ordering online. How does the FXR gear fit in general? Some say different gear fits differently. As in a large fits like most other brands extra large? Strong Farmer might have a good idea about attending the snowmobile show. Although the last time we went the prices had been on par or better "in store" during previous sales. My work van is in for brakes all round and front bearing/hub assembly. Just had the wifes CRV in for pre winter work. All it needed was a starter. Bear of a job. Once I get the bill for the pair of them I might be gun shy about buying new gear. 😭

I'm definitely not the latest greatest guy. Heck, I'd buy used in good clean condition. I did watch a promo on the rrx line and it's not for me. The price is, but it's at the lower end of wind and water proof. I dont like to feel the wind . Chills me.

Looking online I see an FXR RRX jacket on sale for $277 from FortNine. Anyone use this line? I've never worn FXR. Is it suitable for milder days down to -10? I have cold weather gear, but sold my daily use gear last season with the sled. Any other suggestions are good too. Thanks

I ended up picking up a 2019 XC800 129 with 2454km. Lady owned and ridden. I havent had time to get into it too deep, but all the obvious things seem ready to ride. We'll see once I get into it. I posted it in topic "that time again"

Hit up Lilies restaurant in Midland. Bruce Vessair and his wife own and operate as far as I know. Seen a post somewhere about it
