old or new?

[buckie]

so out of curiosity how many people here are riding older chassis sleds and i dont mean 2002 as old haha seems 99% of riders here all have the nice new sleds, so whatcha riding? i ride a 97 artic cat zrt 600 tripple with a 136'' 2" lug(soon to be longer), black magic ignition and pipes, some head work and flat tops, im 6'3'' and 235lbs and it hauls ass with me on it :d so who else is riding older sleds?

I ride a 1998 Summit 670 X. My wife has the "new iron" riding a 1999 Summit 600. Brother in law #1 rides a 2009 Summit X and his wife a 1997 (I think) Polaris Indy 500. Brother in law #2 has a 2007 M8 and his wife rides a 1997 ZR 580. The father in law has a Polaris Indy Lite Trail 340 (or somthing like that). If we had a Yamaha we would have all of the major brands covered!

Mod T-cat and mod rotax. Both seem to keep up with the newer iron just fine somehow....

2001 does that count? i have a summit 600 big bore full lightweight nitrous exhaust system everything i can think of and its reliable light fun never left me stranded. never complains and best of all still takes down the new sleds without a problem. even my friends 827 to my suprise hahaha. i spend alot of time on new chassis sleds and alot on mine i see no reason to upgrade........just more hassle it seems.

well its great to see some people riding older machines still, its kinda funny the looks i get sometimes when were up in the mountains keepin up to the big boys with an old sled and probably the best part is.........no payments
