In colledge I had no money for a sled so I got an old 68 olympic and istalled a 340 arctic cat jag motor in it . Widening plates for the front end and she did 55 mph in the trails. My friends christened it the bouncing bubble gum machine. That was 15 years ago and my buddies still talk about it . :hallo3:

We called our old zr the "slimer", but only when it worked and "P.O.S." when it didn't, which was most of the time. lol. The zrt 800 is either called the "phat pig" or the "zert".
I haven't got a name for the cougar yet and probally never will except for "for sale".

I used to have a 95 XLT, but crashed it. Took the insurance $$ and started parting it out on ebay. Last year the wife, (fiancee at the time) started espressing interest in snowmobiling, so I started looking for a CHEAP way to get her into a sled... one day while selling XLT knickknacks, I came across an XLT triple piped with a blown motor (suprise, suprise!). Also had a cracked chaincase, and a couple of other problems... the price was right, $500. Well I took it and combined it with some other parts that I had in stock.... engine, skidframe.... and a bunch of other misc parts, and now have a sled that is mechanically tip-top, but had some cosmetic issues. but, for a total investment of $580, I consider it a deal.

It has two nicknames...

Had Yamaha SS440 in 83' my buds called the tree climber, which I didn't understand because it didn't actually climb the tree. It just happened to be 15ft. in the air when it HIT the tree. :nervous:

Also, my buds are already calling my RX-1.......The RX1ton. (I just don't understand my buds sometimes). :sarcasm:

My sled has the name Frankenstein. I rolled it 4 or 5 times the first year I had it. The hood had some large cracks and breaks in it, so I drilled holes along both sides of the cracks and then zip tied them together. Holds together great and if a tie or two breaks, just put another one through the holes. Looks just like the stitches on Frankenstein himself.
