    Arctic Cat and Yamaha Class Action Settlement

    Too bad about lawyers! Imagine this a new Cessna 152, The Ski Doo Elan of aircraft, no longer in production, no more complicated than a riding lawnmower, would cost probably $4000 or $5000 to buy, because of lawyers would be nearer $200,000!!!!!!!!!! $164,640 152 ReImagined Cessna for Sale...

    ...the few who ruin it for others

    Similar situation in Hixon I think in the late 70's US couple shot through the rv door and killed the guy. Cops didn't even charge them with anything.

    What Sled was the Biggest Gamechanger in History?

    No it's not mine. Sorry to say this, I hated the Ski Doo Nordic for how it, (and some others), changed snowmobiling. I see some here one found an old Phazer and are really pleased with it. My son bought a new Phazer when they came out in 1984 and my 1971 Moto-Ski Zephyr would run circles around...

    What Sled was the Biggest Gamechanger in History?

    1969 Ski Doo Nordic, started the trail sled movement, by the end of the 70's they were all trail sleds. It wasn't until the 90's where some attention was paid to going in the snow.

    Cheap Sled Options

    Tried to buy one of those. The salesman said he couldn't get a 2" longer track put on it. He called the mechanic from the back room and the mechanic said he could do it.

    Cheap Sled Options

    Not looking, just commenting, I don't blame the manufacturers because all most people want is HP. My old Phazer is good enough for me.

    Cheap Sled Options

    Looking at the Arctic Cat Blast, might be a nice sled but not enough track!!! I don't understand! Also too expensive! In 1971 when the Ski Doo Elan came out I bought one, not because I thought it would be a great sled, but the Alpine came with a 139" track option which I bought and put under...

    Tree Well close call

    I went to go through a treewell and coming out the other side it was too steep, needless to say the sled came over backwards and the handlebars landed on my chest and I was pinned there until my buddy got the sled off!! (My 479lb, (advertised), Powder Special actually weighed 550lbs dry, 635lbs...
