I guess we will need a new Matryx 900 section tomorrow?

Lots of the youtube guys i watch seem to been also missing more riding due to breakdowns, parts not availible i would have to say skidoo is showing better reliability across the board with the 850 na’s and the turbos. Or if something does break doo has you back up and going faster.

That would be fun.

But if its completely stock to stock, the T Doo wins hands down. Takes a fair amount of work to get the boost to an acceptable level of performance.
Rode my buddies 165 T Doo this past weekend. It was in break in mode so maybe for that reason it would not highmark my 174 N/A Polaris, not even close. This was about 1-2 ft of soft snow at about 7000' . Just would not get up and go? My other buddy has a 175 T-Doo and I'm sure it would out-climb me on the same hill. What is it with these Doos? Some work good and others not so much? I hear it is all about loading the motor, so does the 165 track not suppy enough load? Both sleds are same year and both stock.

I freakin love your 97. When I first seen one I was riding a summit and thought it was a trail sled. Until it spanked me all over. Needless to say, I got a 98 the next year with same twin pipes, vforce reeds and shaved the head. Great sled back in the day.

Ive seen the Sidewinder in some tight stuff, I've taken it areas my skill level has no bother being even on a 2 stroke. If the snow is setup the I can see the appeal of a 2 stroke, in anything deep the power of the 4 stroke is nice to have.

One of these days I'll break the wallet open again amd have one of each.

There is no sled that is the best at everything. If you can only have one sled, then a turbo doo g4 154 or 165 even is a pretty good all around machine. Imo

In a perfect world we'd all have 5 or 10 different sleds.

Ive been on turbo yammies mainly for the past 15 years , rode them everywhere pretty much. Had a couple doos and poo for a 2nd sled or for the daughter or wife to ride but I mainly rode my yamaha. I picked up a 22 slash na 165 this season and been having a absolute blast on this sled! Sled is so forgiving and so easy to ride in the tight ch!t and does really well on the deep days I'm really impressed. Having to take pokes at stuff to get up it brings back the challenge and alot of fun compared to point and shoot on the yammie. I have almost 1000km on it now and no issues just a couple fouled plugs . My viper only came out of the trailer once this year, only time ive missed it is when i see some nice steep line to pull. The 7s gauge is a game changer i went looking for a guy in the group last weekend and the tracking and mapping works so good. Watching my buddies on there winders sink and trench and submarine under and fighting the weight doesnt make me miss the power at all . 3rd pic typical yammie ride after a creek run lol .. Im super stoked for a boost for next season I had a 900 checked but then found a boost for a grand more so went with a boost . I should be able too get it down to 525lbs rtr fairly easily

So
Yup… can’t make a joke about anything any more, cuz some ones gona b a cry baby about it now a days. Lol
Willls a goof!!! and his wife can go buy a wig with all that money.

All in all tho, this is another big hit on all comedian's out there in the world that wanna make good jokes for us, I thought the story’s of hate mail were bad for them,Now they gota deal with jumping on stage ch!t also. Lol

Just to say I stayed with the the poo thread
(Facts)
-Tdoo is heavy and non rider balanced
-boost is way lighter and balanced=Better
-900r is still lighter and better than any 850n/a doo sled. 900is more than850
