Ski Doo Rev! What else is there? :lol: Buried in snow? I envy you!

nah-Not buried yet but supposed to be by this weekend.
Ski Doo?? I had a OLD one back in the late 80's-No electric start back then and it half killed me trying to pull start it when it was -20 or so :P
Now I've got a P O L A R I S Indy Classic-Not fast as these new things they have rocketing down the trails and logging roads but plenty fast enough for Me :P

:lol: My first sled was a '60 Johnson Skee-Horse ! Had the pull chord down off the right footboard. You knelt over the seat and pulled up a huge sweat...which later froze you to death. They got stuck trying to climb the snow banks on the side of the road...but...hehehe back then those banks were 4-6 foot or more.
When I got a '72 Johnson 30 with electric start...I thought I was some sorta big shot. But the pea green color kept me quiet. :evil: I mean..THE ugliest color you could stick on something, and expect to sell it. :)

I'm running a '96 Polaris XLT600. It was like brand new when I bought it in 2001. I got it dirt cheap...part of a divorce thing. I mainly use it to go out on the Lake fishing. Still looks like new. Guess I'm slowing down. :? :cry: In my 20's...I would have bent this around some trees once too often...or rolled it down a steep hill. :twisted:

Hey yoopr...remember breaking the pull chord! F#@$%%#@*&&%###@!!

Nope-never broke the Pull cord but when it was really cold I about had a heart attack trying to start it. Guess I shoulda used some starter fluid Duh :P
Buddy has a camp about a 1/4 down the road from me and he wants ME to be his Trail Maker. Hell with that :P
Pea Green Johnson? lol-I'd be quiet too

Ever notice how sound travels out on a frozen lake?
I don't think anyone figured out an easy way to start
a motor in sub-zero temps. Least...from all the French
being spoken, and the dim...fllldddrrrr...fllldddrrrr....flllldddrrrr
(10 mins later) fllldddrrrrr..flldddrrrr flddrrfldddrrflddrrflddrfllllddddrrrr
F#@$###& G#@#$D@#$##S&$%B%$#@@#C%$#@#$S#$@#$!!!!!

But we were use to it after practicing all Fall with our 60 lb. chainsaws.
I remember my Dad got to use the chain saw mostly....
and I was still stuck with the axe and crosscut saws.

I don't remember the make or model of our first chainsaws.
I do remember them being huge and heavy.
Still...they beat crosscutting a tree....and trimming with an axe....
good lord...all the hand splitting.

:D Sounds like some of those snowmobiles have pretty good sized engines. This may be a scary question but how fast do some of them go? 8)

Way over 100mph-These new engines are pushing around 150 HP and just remember you're only about 2' off the ground you're Screaming :P
Ever watch some of these guys on Snowmobiles in the Summer time running across Open Water?
