Sidewinder on Fire

[timo]

Jump on a Freeride best of both worlds.

I have had 2 Apex's in the last 8 years... 0 issues. This is my last year of my current apex xtx and I am still searching for her replacement. Right now the Polaris RMK assault 155 or the switchback assault 144 seems to tickle me depending on if I can get that 155 skid/track to trail nicely. We want to venture off trail more so either will do.



Textron and Yamaha will never mix well IMO, until that gets sorted my dollars will be going to Polaris or Skidoo.

I totally agree that Textron, and Yamaha will not work together. Too many big heads, too many ego's.

Does anybody know for sure when the engine supply agreement that AC had with Yamaha is done?

I would have to say now with Textron in the drivers seat, it's being discussed.

watched my friends 08 doo 800 go up just like that - no turbo but oil line or gas line rubbed and leaked -it started slow- we packed and repacked the engine with snow and we were sure it would go out - finally we had to stand back-sounded like two gun shots -we hit the ground! prob plugs blowing out the pistons?
bad day but he did have insurance at least- four foot hole in the snow to the ground- came back in summer-only steel springs and a few other steel parts left

Just one of hundreds of reasons to maintain full, comprehensive insurance on a sled even if it's paid off.

I didn't think libs had morals.

Or is it morale? (@Fnash)

 

[old abe]

What are you trying to say XXX007???

 

[frnash]

…Or is it morale? (@Fnash)

Are there any votes for “morels”? (I’m really a “fun guy”! )

 

[snobuilder]

I could be friends with a lib who had good morels !!!

 

[Cirrus_Driver]

If "libby" cooks the morels, I can overlook low morals, while maintaining high morale.
