Go reef on a cat bumper trenched in between two trees deep down in the bush in spring snow and tell me how fun it is to try and pull that bumper up or back down the hill with the two fingers you can grab it with

fawk....you’re Rollin 2 banger man. Do that with a Super Chute Evo 174 all day long! Yeah it sucks but it’s not the end of the world, kick it shovel it whatever it’s all part of it. You’re 33 years old man! These old boys are doing this day in day out in places they shoulda be, they always manage.

Ok I get it...you’re the choke out chief.

I don’t care about the structure of your comment as you didn’t clarify, you laughed at people getting smacked in the face with chunks of snow...I don’t think it’s funny. If that makes me a Doo Rid’in dickhead then I’m good with that.

Never said I was, but when threatened with a good time I always show up. What am I supposed to do? Say sorry and turn tail because your all the sudden the cool kid on the block on here. You take comments out of context and I’m supposed to grovel at your feet?

I’m sure it’s even $hittier with a tank like that no doubt. Just cause all the old boys are doing that doesn’t mean everyone has to. I choose to make a very easy decision and take that thing off day 1 every time and I’ve never had a complaint from anyone, the odd ribbing from a riding buddy but it comes back around later

are you clinically retarded? You bluntly said you would choke me out in under a minute and I’d be dreaming... quit bitching about the bumper and flap on your sled, run no flap run a flap who cares. Now you’re just getting me piste doff with your young bull banter and I think it’s time you got your mom to tuck you into bed little fella. Yeah I am pretty cool, got loads of buddies too. No need to grovel, I’m not that guy, never have been. If you can’t handle a little back and forth without getting your rpm at Redline then stay on the porch. It’s called f’n around....for some laughs.

Thanks for the info. Have you ever had a problem keeping it cool on trails ? The single front cooler seems like it wouldn't be enough. I had a 2015 T3 and had to add extra scratchers to keep it cool.

So to sum everything up.

No issues with cooling.

sure do, my daughter almost had her hand broken, the guy didn’t stop but his buddy did, he was descent. Said he would wait in the parking lot to make sure she got back ok, but they were gone. It was pretty purple and red...

Some people are just animals on the trail up. Got to be careful around the little ones for sure.

Those little 200cc rigs are awesome.

Dave building you a turbo for one?

Please refrain from choking out fellow members. There is little entertainment value in a trailside hugfest. Straight punching is far better for spectators.

In the following instances, yes:

Spring snow where the trail has setup enough the track doesn’t kick anything up, but the scratchers just cut thru the snow and don’t throw anything either.
Hard packed trails that you have to ride real slow, IE twisting trails thru trees. Not moving fast enough for the scratchers to do anything.

i run into this a couple of times a year, and then I have to stop and do the chainsaw trick with the track to cool down.

Anything else is fine, icy frozen spring trails, slush, a bit of powder, all ok as long as you can move along at a decent clip.

I am going to modify the scratchers and add a larger bit to the end so it will throw more snow at lower speeds. People also put the ski mounted ones on so snow is thrown directly into the track.
