My $263.15 per mile season......oouch!

[enis750]

well basically calling the season a wash dudes
put 38 miles on my new 600, it broke down and sat at the dealer for a month getting fixed (cracked a weld on one of the HE, had to replace tunnel)
we have little to NO snow here to ride
any snow we DID get, I was in Mexico sitting on the beach (which was a TERRIBLE trip, but thats for another thread)

and to boot, wifey got a new job and her hours changed a bit
SO, going west and leaving the kiddos behind w her for 3-4 days is out of the question this year

$10,000 sled / 38 miles = $263.15 per mile.....now THAT's an expensive season......

ah well, fingers crossed for an early golf season and praying it snows here next year

Bummer man. I also had a crack in my front heat exchanger. cost me $1,550 to get the sled torn appart and a 2 inch weld put on it. I feel your pain.

Not Good!!!! BUT the only way to justify a Sled is to look at the depreciation of the sled in a year / miles you ride. Because I'm sure your sled won't be worth $0.00 next year? Just Saying!!! I hope this helps on a shitty season!!!

 

[JoHNI_T]

thats if we get some snow in canada ehh

 

[ferniesnow]

Enis750, gotta put a positive spin on things. You got back from Mexico and you are alive and well.....and the sled will only have 38 miles on it next year so it will be like starting with a new one.....almost!

 

[Wildreaper]

At least it was only 10,000 sled and not 15,000 or more

 

[JoHNI_T]

At least it was only 10,000 sled and not 15,000 or more

better part at least it was the "new job" that killed his season not a broken leg or NO job hahahaha

I thinks Ennis has it too good lol,, mexico suks sledding over lol.... but I would be sad too

 

[tex78]

k so is it just me ??????????????

sleding or mexico ????????

mexico won't melt ....... sleding it is for me

thinking he has his prioritys wrong.... just my 2 cents

 

[powderhoundbrr]

Should have stuck with the REV.

 

[btcowboy]

Did the math on mine yesterday lol you aren't doing to bad. Like was mentioned above there is still lots of time left and next year ya still got a new sled

 

[neilsleder]

It's a sled and not milk so you won't have to worry about it expiring! It will be like a new sled next year.

 

[chadwik74]

I have a 2012 Proclimb in the shop with 0.2 miles on it.....hope to do a few mountain trips to catch up, starting next Wednesday...FINALLY!! I feel your pain man!

 

[S.W.A.T.]

Be glad, I havent rode yet this season.

But mine is paid for so I guess Im ahead of the game.

Nothing broken nothing ventured.........

 

[retiredpop]

Think of it this way -- with the money you saved by not riding you can do a few mods for next year.
