I went out to buy a second snowmobile today
 

i shouldn't be allowed to own a checkbook.

i found a cool second sled. myself - i own a polaris 900 fusion - bought new last year.

didn't need new for a guest sled - also didn't want a KILLER sled for guests - just something nice and reliable.

so I was looking for a second sled for friends or guests - and found a 2003 polaris indy 550 air cooled - nice second sled for $4000.

fucker had two of them and took $7500 for both.

now i own 3 sleds....

pick them up wed

well .. altleast now u can have a 3 man snowmobile race. :)

I am SO glad I live in a place where snowmobiles are a pipedream ;-)

He he he

Scott, I'll come stay with you and snowmobile, then you come visit me and we can jet ski ;-)

Deal ?

so sleazy, what are the best snowmobiles? i seriously have no clue. polaris is the best?

I had 1/2 an inch of snow on Sat. I could have used one of them thar things! (OK, it was only 1/2 an inch on the exposed deck - it melted on the grass and roads, but think of the fun I would have had riding a snowmobile on my deck!)

they're all good to be honest - the polaris dealer is easy to use here for repairs

i would love to ride the snowmobile...

best new sleds are ski-doos, best vintage sleds are Mercs,Yamaha's and Cats

actually vintage it's polaris - they won more endurance races than any other model in the 70's and 80's

the new ski doo are awesome - comparable to the fusions - but the ski-dos get better milage.

cat is behind on their suspension on the high end ones now.

yamaha has the snow hawk which is in a whole other league and sooo cool

sounds like a good deal SB =) I can remember snowmobiling when I was younger, it was always lots of fun!!

only wish i could get out more - only went out 3-4 times last year

the only racing in the 70's and 80's was oval racing, and cats, srx's and mercs owned the circuit. My dad has been sled racin since 75' an our collection is over 38 sleds. As for today, the dominant sled in sno-cross is the rev chassis. Sorry, our family has 30+ years racing sleds :2 cents:

Stop talking about it ... I remember when I was young at my grandfather... snow mobiles are so fucking cool

god i hate it when trolls overbrag and don't know their ass from a hole in the ground

i own 38 sleds.... yeah right.......

i call bullshit

some people could be a very compulsive buyer like you. in order not to be tempted, I sometimes leave my CC at home.

That means you have one for you, me and Belinda. When shall we come up?

I haven't gone snowmobiling in almost 2 years now :1orglaugh

anytime you're welcome. I'LL SHARE my sleds - if you share Belinda :thumbsup

we have gravel roads here too :thumbsup

call it all ya want fat boy, the fact of the matter is you are clueless on the subject of sleds, im not gonna sit here and waste my time posting pics of 20+ sleds from our barn in eagle river wi. as you will just call bullshit again, but regardless you are clueless when it comes to sleds :)

hummm first it's 38 - now it's 20...... the number is getting smaller.....

typical of a know it all troll


idiot

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ok big boy, you have a great night

Who have you been talking to? (looks around suspiciously). :1orglaugh

Congrats on the new toys Sleazy :thumbsup

Nice! Make sure there is one for me when i visit someday.
G

when I visited wi I used to watch them do pond skipping, you ever do that?

i dont do water, 99% of our sleds are vintage, be a shame to lose one :Oh crap

Sweet deal! I think you will find that just buying those sleds was a good move as when the dirty caribou come out to sled again this winter we would have spent $2000+ just renting sleds.

Plus I don't feel bad wrecking your sleds LMAO!!! ;)

DH

How do they handle on gravel roads? :winkwink:

I remember back in the late 70s when Yamaha first made the 540 SRV (with the coil shocks on the skiis). They didn't even have a CC classification for it at the snowmobile drag races at the local winter fair.

A buddy of mine bought one at the time, and ended up doin' just a few solo passes since no one could race him. Nothin' from the factory could touch'em at the time.

I owned a 399 Olympic back then - good for haulin' my fishhut out onto the lake each winter. Reliable as hell and everything could be fixed with a ball pein hammer and duct tape.
