Been riding the BC rockies for about 15 years, mostly Revelstoke and Golden areas. Sold my Fabcraft/Cutler a week ago and waiting delivery on a new M1000 turbo from Mr. Cutler.

Looking forward to a great sledding season and contributing to this site.

Thanks
Don

Thanks for the welcome. Yes it is nice to be close enough to the rocks to be able to day trip. The bad part is it's always calling my name when I go to work in the morning.

I hope it turns out to be a good one as I haven't even rode an M1000, just commited and said go. Just sold the Fabcraft/1150 Cutler that I rode for the last 3 years. Thought it was turbo time so I could try and keep up with the Yamahas.

Have you done anything with your rear suspension? I have not heard anything good about the Cat suspension stock and am looking at the Timbersled rear.

I love mine!! Except the first thing we did was put in a Timbersled skid. The Arctic Cat one is $hit on the trails.

Welcome Don!

I put that Timbersled in for amyjane20. The 2007 skid was the worst I have ever seen in my years of sledding. The 2008 and 2009 skids are apparently FAR better.

If you're looking for riding buddies keep in touch, we head out quite a bit and are very close to Cochrane.

Cheers,
PistonBroke

I will definately keep that in mind. I try to get out every third weekend if possible and ride mostly the Golden and Revy areas, some Sicamous. Look forward to catching up with you this winter and thanks for the suspension advice.
