3 trailing arms on the 2 stroke Viper. Burned a hole in my seat that turned in to a giant tear.
Still more time to break stuff. :)

front bumper, belly pan brace, cracked hood, dented tunnel, bent footwell, cracked belly pan, broke a seat right off the sled, cracked rails, driveshaft bearing, bent trailing arm, bent steering post, snapped 2 ice scratchers, only blew 1 belt, and demolished a piston. I'd say it was a good year.

The last tank of gas pretty much broke my sled since it never started after my last fill up. Thought something froze since it was -20 out but after checking some stuff bad gas is the last culprit. Complete crap way to end an awesome week off and all sledding.

Well I decided to dump some money and fix up my sled. New top end, rebuilt shocks, new steering arms, had to replace jackshaft and put in a new clutch kit. After all that I wrecked the sled on a stump 600 miles into the season. Upgraded to a 2012 F8 after that and was problem free for the next 1,000 miles.

I was playing with you guys, but the sleds do take a beating! But hey, that's what they are built to do. In fact, I think it's almost like a badge of honor to break a part. Didn't Scottiking have a wall of honor with damaged parts? I remember seeing a pic of it. I like that! :) I'm glad you are happy with the Pro Lenny! How is the 800 holding up and how many miles/smiles so far?

motor seems strong and I am just over 600 miles. I really hate to break anything but it is part of the game, just cannot avoid it, something will take a smack at some point.

Speaking of miles, The guys who made natural frequency are living it up in Montana riding almost everyday, each of them have over 5000 miles on their 11 and 12 800's, all original never opened up stock motors. IMO those 5k miles are equivalent to well over 10k miles on a trail sled, usually trail sleds average 25 mph their lifespan, I'd be willing to bet just about every Pro RMK out there has an average of 10 mph.
