briankd 817 #1 Posted February 21, 2021 just got back from a 80 mile ride . been riding most of this past week with the snow we got . bought this new back in 99 used to go to the U.P. of Michigan a lot but not been since 2013 .done a lot of performance upgrades over the years and will stretch your arms out when you grab the throttle . got stupid here couple days ago and didn't see a creek coming up and fell into it 25- 30 foot drop shot over the handle bars and it pinned me under the front of it . just now getting over the sore rib's . a lot of fun but need to respect it don't take much to get into trouble when not paying attention 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #2 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Never been on a snowmobile, just the quads, had mine out yesterday rolling over the frozen snow here maybe 8 tenths of a mile ride, yes must respect and pay attention even when having some fun.

JCM 9,130 #3 Posted February 21, 2021 Like anything with power you can get in a lot of trouble real quick. Enjoyed sleds for many years. Glad to hear your OK. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,163 #5 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Got to drive a borrowed CanAm quad on a visit to western Colorado (Crawford). Jeep trails and logging roads in the Gunnison National Forest. Loved the smooth power and it seemed much quieter than others nearby. But it was clear that thing wanted to GO. Knowing I didn't have the experience to handle it safely at speed (and assigning a high value to my unbroken neck), I dogged it with a giant smile on my face!
