    Still Shopping... HELP NEEDED! 2008 Ski-Doo Summit 163 or 2009 Polaris Dragon 163??

    I had an 08 dragon and as far as I knew they had issues up to 11!Polaris never had a clear cut fix other than keep rebuilding the engines!My dragon popped at 900 miles and kept popping till it left my yard a couple hundred miles later!

    Throttle control

    Another one is when your climbing and not going to make it turn out before you come to a stop!Pointed straight up the hill and stuck with the ass end buried sucks!Every time in the mountains the wife pulls this stunt and it damn near ends up in the lawyers office!At least the hills are fairly...

    I found Willy in AB :)

    I wouldn't have got out either if I was dressed like that!He was probably scared Ginger Wiebo would have beat the crap out of him or worse would have burst out laughing at him!!

    Throttle control

    Most times easing into the throttle is the best instead of blipping it.If your breaking trail on flat ground and have to stop make a loop and park back in your own tracks!On a warm day the top few layers of snow get saturated and heavy and even parking downhill won't help!But at the end of the...

    Welding

    Welding

    Thanks for the responses.I figured I would teach him stick because of the hand control and around the farm I've had better luck with arc than mig.The mig is good for the thin crap.Also I'm making sure to pound it in his head about grinding and having clean surfaces!He seems to have a knack for...

    well said!!!

    Depending on the job I think physical appearance shouldn't have anything to do with it but doing the job should be the only requirement!I had a buddy do the firefighter course years ago in the city and there was exceptions on which courses the women had to do!Some of them were modified for the...

    Welding

    Is stick welding getting phased out and being replaced by mig?The reason I'm asking is my kid wants to learn(he's in grade six) and I'm wondering if I should invest in a better mig welder and go from there or teach him to stick weld first.I learned to stick weld at about his age and took welding...

    I agree that the doctors hand those handicap things a little to easy!In our small town it seems like every second vehicle has one!Sad part is the old timers that deserve one usually don't have one or are too proud to get one and people that are younger than me (42 next week) have them and I...
