Wink Getting close....

to snowmobile time. I'm getting all fired up. Just added a chit load of junk to my XC 800. My last addition before the snow flies will be a "happy bottun". A little shot of the juice never hurt anybody. Sled should be close to 185 h.p. Does anyone else do any snowmobiling? How about in the Upstate NY area?

I usually avoid the Hill on the wkends. To many sleds for me. I try to hit the hill in the middle of the wk. It's usually pretty awesome. They try to groom all trails on Tuesday's. When those trails are flat, you can hall a little a$$. I'll forget the comment about the Popo. I've had all makes and models except Polaris. So this is the trial year. I figured in order to be a true critic, I really have to try them all. I really got a pretty smokin' deal on both sleds (xc 500, xc 800 both 01') for just under 7. These suckers are show room. Let me know if you ever ride on Wed.

unfortunatly we are weekend riders. We trailer up to C-ville or turrin and ride from there. We Know alot of back trails and area's that do not get alot of traffic. If you are interested we can show you just how great the trails arround the hill are. My wife runs a Rev 600SDI and I ride a Rev 800X.

That would be great! I really enjoy ridding the less traveled trails. Have you ever ridden from Camden (sp). Man o' man do they take care of their trails. You can really blast. Me and a buddy went to D&D from Camden. It was pretty cool. They had a Redline they were demoing. Those things are absolutely INSANE.

need the speed , I can not understand why you would be smart enough to buy polaris. You saved the best for last, but yet you would be seen in a Baha. You will stand a real good chance of going buy this fountain this week the motors are out ,if you want bragging rights, dont wait long they may be running sunday. And one other thing people I see need-the-speed wants some one to ride with, if you take him up on this. ride in front of him. For he has added lots of parts and if he did not tighten all the bolts ,parts will fly off, this would not be good. I met this fellow he ask my to go boating with him and on the way to the lake the tires were fling off his trailer. I have pics buy can not show them at this time. he like to have fun and puts on a good party. By the way I ride also if you would like to try and keep up some time.
