: When your first string sled goes bad......
liquid600 08-28-2002, 09:56 PM 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!!!!
liquid600 08-28-2002, 09:58 PM The back up power plant:
dpaige 08-28-2002, 10:00 PM 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.
DP
My back up would be a 00 ZR 500. Its the brother in laws spare that I can use anytime.
ARCTICZRT600 08-29-2002, 07:22 AM My backup is a 69 Panther.
98XCR600 08-29-2002, 08:23 AM My backup is my Honda ATC250R three wheeler *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

NDMtnSledder 08-29-2002, 09:42 AM 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.

Rollo D. Motoski 08-29-2002, 12:09 PM If I have trouble with my sled this winter, i'll be riding my son's GT Snowracer.

sleddinfool 08-29-2002, 03:56 PM My back-ups would be as follows. My 99 zrt600 then my wifes 95 cougar unless she is riding.

Darryn Duncan 08-30-2002, 07:37 AM I'm hoping to have my new 1980 JD Liquifire up and running in time for the wife to ride and to use if necessary. Somebody always needs a backup sled.
Bigmac 08-30-2002, 10:20 PM My back up would be the old 85 Phazer ... and if that let go it would be a 75gp 433 yamaha . *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Do you have a salary cap on that team? http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Little green sixer 08-31-2002, 01:49 PM ZMachMan that is quite the line up you got there. Well if my sled goes down it's the same as my wife and truck, have you ever heard the sayin up #### creek without a paddle. Well thats where I would be cause there are the only ones I have. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

I feel your pain man............but ohh what a team you have!!!!
-Liquid600
Burky 09-01-2002, 08:38 PM 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!
madsledhead 09-01-2002, 09:41 PM Primary *Polaris 98 xcr 600

Second back up - Ski-doo 98 Formula dlx 500 (if my wife lets me)
