Not as many as I should have. Just over 1100. All things considered (season ended for me Feb 11 broken leg) not a complete fail. Know a guy that dropped 11k on a new sled and he did less than 300, I'd consider that a FAIL.

Yea it happened riding, healing pretty quick. It is that small lower leg bone the fibula. Doc said if your going to break a bone that's the one to break.

An unforeseen off, Yea LOL initiated by a stump.  No chassis damage to sled, sheared off A Arms, bent tie rod, broke shock. The rest of the Parts should be here soon and sled will be okay. Plastics will all line up, only 1 crack and couple of scrapes will be visible remaining damage.

Ouch! Your RMK can always be repaired good as new people not so lucky. Hitting stuff is what keeps me to known powder, lakes and land I know well. Even unplowed FR routes can have downed trees underneath so we run them slowly early season cut up & move whatever looks suspect. Are you coming back to trail riding once you fix RMK? I'm too old for pure off trail powder riding & never could get over what is under that snow!

Second week of February, was in Twin lakes for 5 days. We didn't ride over 100 miles from Tuesday till Saturday, all off trail and it was epic snow! Best riding I've ever done up there in the 17 yrs I've been going up that way. Only trio this year unfortunately, I hope to get back up there the end of this month if the snow holds up.

I'll BE BACK. On and off trail. One of those things SH** happens. Was worrried about wife having issues with me riding again, but she's not freaking at all. I would ride next weekend or the 19th if snow holds but I'm afraid it'll be gone. Should have sled back together by then. Only like $400 in (used) parts.
May slow down slightly and a little more cautious in unknown terrain. I've been known to "drive it like you stole it". But 40+ years of riding and this is my only serious injury. Nothing more than a bruise or pulled muscle before this. So not going to let it put an end to the sport I love.

89 on my 2010 MXZ 600 Carb, and almost 100 with my two kids on 2007 GTX limited. My bro got 10 on his spring order Renagade X. I am partial to riding trails with decent snow. Very little maintenance for me. Thanks to all the Groomer Drivers doing the best they could. Only 270 days till Dec. 1st
