Great lookin sled! What track length is that? Then new stuff is soooooo much longer than my little 121" LOL

When I go new it'll be a 9000 RR or Thunder Cat, depending on price & colors available. Although I'm reading great stuff on the new 800 Arctic cat as well.

It's a 129 with a 1.25 track. I went back and forth in my head so many times about getting a turbo. In the end I just couldn't justify the huge price difference and was afraid of getting a belt blower.

Yeah I hear ya. I may change my mind when it comes time to write the check, but right now I'm in love with the '17 9000 RR. I really dont like the flat grey on the '18, but maybe it'll grow on me.

I have another 2-3 years before I have to think about upgrading, so I'll be looking at envy at all the new stuff for awhile still. LOL

I'd probably stick with the 129 as well, for the better tight trail handling and being able to fit in my 10' enclosed trailer.

I was dead set on a turbo for the last 5 years. Then reality set it in. I already have a 14 Maverick and having a turbo I'd have a lot of money in toys sitting there.

Since I settled for the 600 made sure to get the RR for the shocks and the looks. White skis and rails look great.

I hear ya. This gives me strange feelings between my legs.

Welp....added a new (to us) Cat to the stable. Picked up an 07 Arctic Cat F8 for the wifey tonight. Thing is in great shape and the 2 up seat add on is perfect since we're getting the kiddos out with us this year.

Our monsters are pretty pumped to go. Been scouring craigslist and ebay for gear.

Nice! I'm supposed to head up north next Thursday for the first trip. Still have my sled down here. Gonna be hard not to rip around the neighborhood if we really get 4 inches of snow.

Buddy just bought a place on the fox river. Probably bring the sleds back down and ride the river a few weekends.

Yeah I'm getting super antsy. Got 3 trips planned so far. Going to Tomahawk in a couple weeks, Houghton at the end of January, and Rhinelander towards the end of February.

I'm really hoping we somehow get more than they're expecting down here. Trail runs right past our subdivision and if we get a few inches there might be enough to rip around on.

God bless used markets. So far I've gotten my daughter an HJC Helmet, a Castle X jacket, and Arctiva bibs all for less than $100 total

Nice finds. I picked up new motorfist redline bibs and jacket for 300 bucks. Couldn't wear a blue suit on a green sled.

. Finally got the ole crossfire 8R out on the trails.

Just picked up a barely used pair of HJC boots for her for $33 shipped off eBay haha.

That motorfist stuff looks nice. If I didn't have Klim bibs and coat already, I'd be interested in Motorfist for sure

We put a 901 DD big bore with monster pipe supreme tool secondary clutch STM primary and 75 shot per cylinder. Programmed with the boondocker control box. On the button it's around 280-300hp. It's a hoot on the lake. I refuse to use it on the trails. Missed a corner one to many times

never had a snowmobile but I wanna try ! nice lookin rigs

 

[Weather Man]

Just enough snow here to cover ground, but not ride, People have to head North or to the U.P.

 

[awful knawful]

Looking at new ones now. Renegade 900 may be in my future.

One of the guys I ride with picked up a short track 900 last year. It's crazy how smooth and quiet that thing is. I looked at him cross eyed the first time I saw him drive it off his trailer because it was moving but I couldn't hear it running with my helmet on haha. He loves the sled but was a tad disappointed in the power of the motor
