I own two sleds because of the Murphy's law principle. My primary sled is a 2002, 500 Edge XCSP; but when she is on the injured reserve list, I turn to my 1994 Indy XLT to keep me in the season!!!

All you sledheads, lets see those backup sleds!!!!

Right now my backup would be a 95 Storm unless I sell it.

Then it would be old faithful, the 91 Phazer and If that fails I'd have to go to the 89 Safari.

If anyone is looking for a good clean project sled I am looking to get rid of my 95 Storm. *First $2000 Canadian takes it.

I hope my first string doesn't go bad because I don't have a backup. *I suppose I could take my brothers 99zr600 if he wasn't riding.

Primary is the 98 Sx 700 with the triple pipes, 1.25 track, and other fun goodies. Guest/ Backup is a 96 Vmax 500 with pogo sticks. Basic sled, totally stock, utterly dependable. Stock clutching is actually better for towing the kids around the hayfield on tubes than the 700. If something failed there, grab the 70 Olympique 335 and hit the trails, just not too fast through the whoop de doos!
