Snowmobilers??

I know since we are all addicted to speed and power, there must be a few snowmobilers out there. Dream and I were discussing riding a bunch this winter.

 

I've rid'em before but don't own one. If you guys have plan to ride this winter, I'm game if there's a place close by that rent them. Anyone here on the board have an extra snowmobile I can rent from will do as well.

 

You can usually rent sleds at any resort in the winter, its not cheap though. The past 3 years myself and some people I work with go up to International Falls for a long weekend, maybe we can get some people to do that this year.

 

maybe i can pack up some colorado snow in a thermal box and ups it to you sorry bastards this winter. i had to do it justin you're not jealous enough yet

 

^^^LOL

 

Yeah my sled is a rocket, 90 indy 400, I need a sticker that says fear this sled. :lol: I've only put on about 100 miles on the thing in 2 years, and have no experince otherwise, mainly i just use it for ice fishing.

My buddy has a 86 indy 400 that I'd bet he'd be willing to go for cheap, it needs a little work, but it's a decent sled.

 

I have one, me and erik have already talked about riding around up north

 

I ride, well I used to but since it quite snowing as much and I moved out from my parents, it is a lot more work to go. Love doing it though. Great rush

 

Yeah i have one too, maybe when i'm home for christmas we all could go for a spin. There's just somthing about flying along at over 100 mph 4 inches above the snow and only a few feet from trees.

 

death?.. maybe

 

i have a 97 XC 600...it rocks, but the winters suck lately, so i drive the soob

 

I have a 04 Rx1 mountain(hopefully turbo soon)If you guys wana make a trip up north, I can get you a
good deal on a place to stay

 

I currently dominate on my '00 MXZ 600. :twisted: I ride on the south side of the cities whenever there is snow (there WILL be snow this year). A buddy of mine has a cabin up on Vermillion....best riding EvAr. There are literally hundreds of miles of trails in all directions, plus the lake (ewwwww!). The trails consist of wide trails across the marshes (flat and fast) and tight, technical twisties through the trees. My group of firends definitely prefer the latter. Best part.... NO TRAFFIC! We will see 15-20 sleds in a typical 250-300 mile weekend during the dead of January. Unfortunately, the place is out of commission this winter. The are rebuilding next spring and is being demolished next week. We are planning at staying at one of the resorts on Vermillion twice this winter....

Next year....new sled for me!

 

^you going rev? i have some friends that race for skidoo and love the rev

 

Oh my, this would be perfect!

 

^agreed. Rich you own that place right. I looked through your website and the place looks amazing. Bring the sleds and the subies up there and go nuts

 

That places is sweet, that would be a great time waiting to happen.

 

Yep, ill email Rich and see what he says. We stayed in that area last year and the riding is amazing. w00t!

 

rich...looks like you have some planning to do. MnSubaru 2005 Deer Lodge Outing

 

or really early 2006

 

Just let me know when you guys wana come up and I will hold a couple of cabins for us, We have a 4 bedroom cabin that can sleep 10 people. If some guys bring their cars I will have a track plowed on the lake for Ice racing.Let me know what you guys think I will try to get somthing started

Rich

 

I would deffinetly be up for this

 

Let me know what weekend would be good for you guys, Usually the middle of January is good for rideing, and the lake has pleanty of Ice for raceing, I also have an extra set of studded snow tires on 16inch rs rims if anyone wants to use them to play around on the ice

 

o o...dibs on the rims if they fit my wrx.

 

Their the factory 16 inch rims off a 200 rs, if they fit you can use them

 

thanks rich. this should be fun. If a buddy of mine comes we should have a 6-8 sled enclosed trailor too

 

i love riding. the best time i have had was in montana in the mountains. it was all powder. i took a new 2005 REV out there and it was a blast. my uncle is really into that stuff, so we rode for hours and did a whole bunch of hill climbing. if any one wants to ride, go out west its the s*!t

 

^i would but i dont have the cash for a new track.

 

i dont wanna get into brand bashing but ish on the REV platform...rotax=bomb

 

I have a little one due early to mid January, so ill have to play it by ear and see what happens. Maybe early Feb. or mid Dec. depending on the snow conditions.

 

i call first dibs on your part out :lol: :lol:

 

There will be no part out..lol
I may acually have a little surprise coming spring 06,,,w00t

 

a recaro baby car seat?

 

ohh snap

 

February is fine, My wife is expecting in Dec so a little later would be good

 

That too

 

LOL, no, thats what the Xa is for. Just alittle project that will be done spring time, stay tuned 8) :shock:

 

Eric,
if the girlfriend wants to come up I have an extra bedroom that She could use, and you can bring the kid.

 

Thanks for the offer but its gonna be the guys weekend out 8)

 

Why do you feel that way? Like to cruise the lakes? :lol: There is no better chasis than the new 06 Rev with the new front end and skid! Polaris is starting to get their act together and put together a good chasis. I may go that way if they continue to imporve next year. If not, Rev it is... The only thing I don't like about SkiDoo is their warranty practices. I will save you the long babbling email, but in the end, I paid >$900 for repairs on a sled with 150mi on it! As for their engines...they have had a glitch here and there, but who hasn't? How about a 600 SDI?! Better gas mileage than any 600, by a long way (with the same power). Any way, even though I do ride the Doo, I am not a brand whore, they just have the best trail sled right now (although the "F"s are close, if they would stay together).

 

my Rx1 1000 gets better gas mileage than any ski doo I have seen

 

It also weighs >30% more....no thanks! I will never-ever-ever buy a sled that weighs over 500lbs! ...end of story! :twisted: The new SDI sleds get very near the mileage and weigh the same as a std 2-stroke. 4-stroke is not the answer, direct inject is...

 

I dont think you can compare a 600cc to a 1000cc, my sled weighs around 490 and the ski doo sdi 600 weighs around 475, thats not 30%,
