So the bright side....when was the last time you could drive to Revy mid winter and show up at the hotel of your choice and get the room of your choice? It's like the good old days, minus the snow.

They looked like they were having more fun then I am having at work.

Maybe that 5hit snow is the new normal? Sean you might have to get a Polaris if you want to keep riding. They still said they had fun. I guess they are truely passionate about the sport, unlike many.

You hit the nail on the head by mentioning the heat should not be generated in the first place. Reality is something is slipping to make heat. My thought was at slower ground speed due to heavy wet snow, the engine is doing 8000 RPM but the sled is basically shifted down in a low gear and...

But the big air movement is supposed to be done from the secondary isn't it? Just looking at where they put the venting.

The secondary has the fins on it to move the heat out. If you are in deep, heavy snow and the sled is not moving fast, the secondary is not spinning fast when maximum heat is being generated. This is opposite to how an ideal design would be. it would be best if the primary somehow moved the...

Actually needs a first gear, it is already starting out in second gear.

Polaris guys won't be coming to Doo anytime soon unless they can't wait out the P22 clutch fiasco. Word is there is a new clutch on the way but will Polaris do the right thing and update all 22-24 Boosts and 9R's? Ski-Doo set a good example and coughed up new gears for their customers. Hope...

I think we need a "Beer of Choice" thread.

"Cold Plungers" ................I thought this was going to be somehing about toilets. I was way off.

As per the original post. I have a set and they work good but if you want to drive around a gravel driveway they do spread apart when trying to turn. There is an upgraded version that has more support that probably is better. I have the cheap ones though and set up 2 very short ratchet straps...

As long as he only makes mistakes on the hill and not in the bar when he is looking for company.

Haha, that was my first thought too when I saw them drinking that stuff.

Those 146 sleds appear to be slipping belts in the primary from the high heat shown in the video I saw. The longer, lower geared sleds seem fine so this indicates to me that it is a position in the sheaves that might be a problem related to clutching. At 60 kmph on the short sled the belt will...

Johnny took the best year to get his back fixed. He's no fool. Between high sled prices, recalls, interest rates, low snow etc. he got it right.

Just ribbing you. I am glad the gearing was done first as this tells me it was done in the right order.

Another one of those friend of a friend's sister's uncle stories? Just asking for a friend.

Like, the older I get, the faster I was!

Sled brand/model and setup can make a huge difference in confidence and when you feel confident you just go harder and do things you couldn't do before. Labeling yourself as the worst rider is giving up. You should at lease aim for "most improved" through this season as that can be obtainable...
