Guys the mystery RX-1 driver at Eagle River was Bobby Donahue, also my dealer. Heres his impressions of the sled. He told me he has never gone around the track faster even when he ran Formula I and Formula III. The Ski-Doo top guns held there radar on the RX-1 and it showed 109 on the back stretch. Keep in mind how short this track is. This sled had the crowd buzzing and definetely stole the thunder for the weekend. I also talked to Bobbys dad today and he is very impressed with the craftsmanship and overall design, in his words, "its a work of art". The Donahues are very respected in the sledding world, and they have seen alot, and for the RX-1 to get there undisputed praise, speaks volumes. Ill be ordering mine as soon as I decide on a color. One other interesting thing Bobby mentioned was what other manufactuers were saying about it, they were all very impressed, and made the comment that they are behind the 8 ball. Also with the Donahues at Eagle River was Dick Trickle, whom im sure most of you know from NASCAR. Before he raced cars, he was circle tracking with Bobby. His comments on the RX-1 were that whomever engineered the new sled, in particular the front end, did a masterful job. So, i just wanted to share this with those of you sitting on the fence...BBY

I have a really nice Exciter I picked up last year with only 4000miles. There has been 2 times now where it uses an unbelievable amount of gas. 8a gallons went in 50 miles. I had filled up before that and put in 3 galllons and went 32 miles. I have gone through the carbs, new yamaha...
Is there anyone out here in Idaho running a Phazer II? I shipped my 90 Phazer from Japan and need to rejet it for the new area/altitude. The altitude in Japan was between sea level and maybe 1000 feet. I plan on riding it in the different areas (Boise, Island Park, maybe Yellowstone and West)...
