Jeezus, I'm gone for a month and this turns into a fuzzy man-love-fest. 
My only contibution can be to throw a bar of soap into the middle and see who comes out on "top"
you two drag race for the first 2000ft., that'll be fun.
or to top-end. That'll be "funner".
my bet is on the ZR by 3-4 sled-lengths to 70-75 or so due to 200lbs. less sled and 100lbs. less rider
with similar peak HP and torque 150/100
once all that mass gets moving... the Yammi will close that gap fast, switch it up, and as the C-note comes and goes...
It'll be the Yammi by 2-3
this is on hard pack studded appropriately
in the snow the Yammi will put the power to the snow via a longer footprint and taller lug track...
and the Kitty Kat will be dusted.
then when the silliness is done and it gets choppy, rough in the corners, and technical...
the shaking/vibrating "classic" caveman low-rider ZR torque-monster,
and the glossy 700lb. far-eastern techno-whiz-bang cross between a Gold Wing and a Nissan Sentra ...
can ride along with Staci.
I'll be at the next intersection with my helmet off, drinking bottled water
waiting...
thanking and praising a list of people, including my shock builder (among others) like it's the Academy awards.

So when do we ride?
Riders or posers?
I'm off mon-fri. this week and things are pretty good on the hill.
as always there'll be a few waterholes early (fun) but I understand the trees have been cleared and grooming is underway.
See Saberman's report in the NY forum on HCS.
I just got a couple small things to do.
gotta open the chaincase again...
want to red loctite and torque-spec that bottom gear bolt...
20 minute job
wait a minute...
why would I need a gear change?
have I posted the pic of the Yammi sitting on the bottom (as in underwater) of the waterhole at Tabolt's corners last year?
Somebody should have told him...
That 700 lb. econo-car with skis ain't no water-skipper...Skippy.
