I'm by no means an expert in this field, but I have been looking into this also.
I'm not sure if motor octane is what a person should compare or some other octane rating, however:
VP 110 has a motor octane of 107
C12 has a motor octane of 108
C14 has a motor octane of 114
LL 100 has a motor...
X 2 on the Oakley Persimmon lenses, I have them in my cheap L-frames and they work best. I have all kinds of expensive spy's with blue, yellow, brown and I keep going back to the Oakleys. Second option is just wearing my clear saftey glasses.
FIRST TIME
It was at Hasler (West of Chetwynd) I had sledded in the mountains before on older sleds, but this time I just bought my first brand new mountain sled (01 ZX 800 151"). The week previous I crushed my left index finger in a workplace accident (another long story) it split my finger...
LOL yeah! we were in Babette the whole day on new years eve and the snow was awsome, we wanted to head over to Ruth because we could see the weather clearing there, then we realized we burnt all our fuel tearing up the fresh POW!!!.
Don't worry about the beer, I don't drink and sled cause I'm...
Best place for me is Kakwa, (this year I want to come into the area from the B.C. side just to see what it's like.)
Worst place, I can't honestly think of a place that I sledded where I would never go back... everywhere is fun with a foot of fresh snow!
I'm not Audette but I'd bet a case of beer they are up behind Ruth possibly Broadview mountain/Francis Peak. the dead give away is Babette in the background of that one picture.
Looks like they had a awesome ride. good work guys, thanks for the pics
Rich Daly at Dyno port makes wicked stuff that works, I wouldn't screw around with anything else if I already had his y-pipe and pipe.
That's my two cents
Man, that's one crazy ordeal...
Your father is a real warrior, I know people that have suffered way less and gave up on the sport after. Real glad to hear he has recovered to the point he is at now and still sleds....
AWESOME!
I hear what your saying buddy!, it would be nice to do a real good going over when looking to buy a used sled, but like the other guys have said Who has the time to sit around and wait for this dismantling process to happen?
Then what would happen if you started putting the Y-pipe back on and...
I'd rather not know the cost as so many have stated.
But my 78 year old father in-law likes to count his money for fun and when that gets bored he likes to count others money also. without me telling him any of my bills he sat down one day and figured out that my sledding costs roughly around...
Powderpilot is Correct, that was the sled he was riding in Krazy Canadian 3, I think the nitrous might be touch more than 30 HP (Can't say for sure). I do know he had that sled for sale at the end of that riding season. The sled we are seeing in this video clip looks like a stock/factory chassis.
