Momma.. What track sizes did you get to ride?

I was able to ride all lengths and sizes. It is a toss up for me. I'm going back down to a 163 this next season.. probably 2.6 but I'm really loving the 3 inch.. so I have decisions to make. They were all fun, the 163 just stole my heart.

Polaris is not a machine I would ever own. SKIDOO all the ****ing way.


I scrolled through the thread to see if I missed anythng... can't see if anyone asked you if you would own a skidoo? While we are throwing random things out there I don't like tomatoes
Bats freak me out a bit.
Ling Cod creep me out and I don't want to catch one, but I'd totally noodle a cat fish

There. I feel much closer to you now

Im curious about this new engine, I rode a axys for the first time with a sidekick turbo. I really liked it, but I could not get a feel for the bars, they just felt out of place to me, they are either way too wide or straight for my liking. Anyone else find this?

Depends on the bar set up. Personally I like the lowest bar possible on the Axys and still find it taller than what I run on the Doo’s. I would prefer to go to a post mod and run an even lower bar than the Polaris ones. I also take about an inch off the bar ends to narrow it up.

That was just simple set up.
I was out on a lake one day with some friends and two of them were rat racing on the lake. Not going to mention brands because its irrelevant but two different brands. One of the sled was pulling consistently two and almost 3 sled lengths ahead.
After watching for a few pull's they stopped. I told them i could change the results in minutes. I readjusted the rear skid on the one and then they pulled even.

If the sled gets the hole shot, 90% of the time its rear skid setup. If the sled pulls away at speed, then its in the clutches.
Noticed how that Polaris transferred the weight compared to the Cat that hardly transferred weight. The Cat spent more time spinning while the Polaris hookup.
The Cat suspension was poorly setup.

Seriously, when will these flatlanders stop comparing straight line drag race results for mountain sleds.

May as well race them down hill too. Lol

This flat lander likes a good hill drag. Only doesn’t count if your buddy beats you. Does it mean anything? Not really but gives you something to talk about on the 7 hr drive home.
