It seems for years with us that it was all about the fastest speed on the flatest stretch of trail and getting stuck was a sign of silliness usually.Now its the deep powder and how slow can you go in the powder and getting stuck is usually a sign of going in the deepest snow or beating your buds highmark, are we getting older or looking for a new adrenaline fix?
I think its a sign of wanting to play more. I know for myself (I have a zrt800) that playing in the deep powder is almost more fun than going 100+mph from point A to point B.
before i got the f3 powder was not a good thing cause i would always get stuck with the older sleds, now with the lighter, faster ones powder is one of the best rushes you can get and its safer then going 110mph + .
I've never been a speed junkie. The sled for me is more of a means for getting back into places to enjoy the scenery. I get a machine much over 50 mph, and I start getting a bit nervous. Maybe it's due to my relative inexperience, but the concept of 100mph plus on something where your only true "attachment" to it is your grip on the handlebars just doesn't seem like a very good idea to me.
lol im still the ohter way i just luve hammering the throttle get thru my 500,660 or 1/4 asphalt,ice or snow. also speed runs. i just cant stand getting stuck or one of my buddies and working with one of these big pigs for 3hours........lol
we must be enjoying our sport better. Since I don't have a corvette that can do 0-60 in 3.5 sec. i'll be satisified with a sled that can do that. Speed heals all old wounds. Beats Viagra.
Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2015 polaris indy 550. I want your guys opinions on these sleds. I’ve heard the ones with the edge chassis were unreliable but I think the newer ones are more reliable correct?
We tried the group meeting last year and nobody showed but the breakfast was a hit. Anyone up for meeting again this year before the chaos begins? I will probably be coming up with Mark and Dave and going to Big Boy before we get there so if anyone wants to join us here is your invite.

I have a 2002 MXZ 700 RER Sport with Boysen reeds and MBRP can. I ride in temps from the teens to low 30”s too me it seems like it runs rich. What is my stock jetting and should the jetting be changed for the kids? If so to what?
I am sure the Thundercat is one....but what else is a fast sled.
I have a v-max 4, and now want something faster.
Please tell me what years to keep an eye out for also.
Thanks.
It wasn’t long ago that we were at the Wawa Motor Inn, just north of Sault Ste. Marie, sitting in front of a warm fire after a day of boondocking in Northern Ontario backcountry. Read More >>
