All this talk has me ready to ride. What're you riding?

2002 RMK 600 and the spare/buddy sled is a 1999 Indy 500 (internet picture). I've got short money into both of them and they are both in super good shape and reliable.

I picked up this SXR 600 triple last year. It had a goofy skid lift which a took out. Fast sled, and the yami red head triples are bulletproof.

‘06 Arctic Cat CF7, ‘00 and ‘02 Ski Doo mxz700’s, and I just picked up a ‘05 Ski Doo 1000cc Legend 4-stroke. I’ll dig up some pics tomorrow. I have 4 so my kids can ride and go on trips with me if they want. The Cat and Legend have 2500 miles, ‘02 mxz has 3000, and the ‘00 has 5500. The Legend is going to be my primary trail machine.
 
The kids have a phazer

The wife has a 2002 RMK edge 700 144

I have a 2005 king cat 900 efi 162
And 2008 dragon 162.

I usually ride my snow bike. 2014 KTM 450 with a timbersled ST

Nice to see another RMK Edge. They are pretty rare on the east coast. I haven't seen another. Mine is a 136.
 
Do the Yam snowmobile triples have anything in common with the motorcycle based triples?

You talking about the RZ 350's? I know Kawi made a two stroke tripple back in the day.

Edit: Nevermind, those are twins and are what Banshee motors are based off.

Those engines are notorious for longevity. I've seen some with high miles that have never been opened up. Just routine maintenance and they run forever.
 
I got an 05 skidoo renegade 600 with the long track. Hopefully we get some fucking snow this year.
 
Here's the "new" sleds of the fleet, need to stay in the big heavy triple era for a while longer before going rider forward.

'00 T-cat 1000 - 1-3/8" cobra track, upgraded shocks last year, pretty much stock otherwise.

'02 T-cat 1000 - just switched to studded 144" x 1.5", boss seat, powder pro skis, tracks usa rail extensions. Currently has D&D pipes and can, need to go back to stock.

Can I play from the bottom of the planet?

Four of us up skidooing in July just been on the top of a mountain range. One Yamaha, two Skidoo Legends. Can't recall the third machine.

I'm gonna need your guys help to source new windscreens for the Legends. There are no dealers here.

This is my real fleet. 1989 phazer with a long track. 1980 SRX and 1980 exciter. I have been regressing. Fuck the new sleds lol. I have so much fun flogging the old leaf springers. Our trails around here are super twisty perfect for those guys. I can be semi competitive with those old girls.
 
Can't ride in Texas!

The very last thing my wife and I did before we left Massachusetts and moved to Texas was go to NH and rent snowmobiles to drive around the base of Mt Washington. To cold, fuck that!


Btw..... We have grass and water. You don't need snow to ride a snowmobile. :laughing:

:flipoff2:

Grass drag sleds are all leafers at the moment.

1980 Ski-doo blizzard 5500, aka the "Buzzard." Has the Rotax 503 fan motor, have spent years working on the terrible stock square shaft clutch, but it runs decent for what it is. Has been one of the most consistent sleds I've had.

Open mod 440, polaris TX chassis with rotax 440 engine. Do zip ties count as lightweight racing parts?

Snow oval sled is a 1979 Polaris TX-C 340, pulled it from sitting under the eve of a barn where it was frozen into the ground and the engine was filled water. Maybe have $200 total investment total into this sled? Every part was junk, salvaged, or bought cheap. Pretty sure I've spent more in entrance fees than on the sled at this point, haha.

I refound a windscreen I found next to the highway several years ago recently in one of my sheds. :laughing: No idea what it's off but it looks a lot like the one on my 86 Polaris Indy 600 radiator cooled triple.
