Not really sweet, but up north once a bunch of family and I stopped at a place and were offloading. Several other were outside gearing up their sleds to go out. 2 Guys on a pair of Z1's came up to the intersection and then took off. The exhaust sound they had was so off from sled like that all of us by the sled turned to each other and had a W T F moment.

Otherwise there is just looking at other sleds as ya go, just to see what goodies they have and what I'll want to buy later :rolleyes:

I seen those 2 sleds last year in Hurley! I could believe how loud they were. Passed them at an intersection in town on the grade. I could not hear my own sled over theirs. And it sounded really gay.

It was 99 at the cherry wood lodge in Munising. 2 red 99 XCR 800's with some tricked out trailing arms and rear suspension and sweet sounding pipes.

1978 or 79 crossing lake Minocqua saw a line silver trailfires lined up for a picture with the riders all in matching silver suits, had to be 15 of them. Kinda cool in the morning sun.

I saw a propane powered turbo Yamaha Nytro in West Yellowstone. Stopped to talk to the owner. And, after a little chatting he offered for me to take it for a ride. It was tuned down to 320 horsepower (18 lbs boost from 24). That sled gave me goosebumps!!! I've never been going 70, pinned it, and pulled a huge wheelie before or after.

One time, I saw this Rush with plaid white and red graphics and the guy riding it had some tricked out castle suit. LOL

New Sleds in Phillips.jpg We were trail riding in Wisconsin's northwoods near Boulder Junction when we met a 2008 Arctic Cat F8 Sno Pro with the Orange/Black/White color scheme. I almost fell off my sled pointing at it for my wife to see. Then, in March, I bought one just like it. Maybe is the one I bought- I will never know. I just love how that color scheme in that year resembles a Cat's face as you are approaching it. I love the sound of that sled, too. It is a fast machine- especially with the Plowman Mount installed!

Can't think of anything extra-special off the top of my head other than some cool graphics, but here was one I saw online one day.

Thought it was done well, but guess you have to like the Dukes.

Always cool to see the real old sleds out on the trail too and every other sled I wish I could have.
