I would lend a hand to get your yammi out of a stuck especially when there is just two riders together. Matters not to me what brand someone is on and I would hope if I was in a situation others would lend a hand regardless of what I am riding.Was out on a ride with the wife couple years ago. I was out of her sight because I got distracted for a slight second and ran the beast into a big hole with a creek running below.
Two guys about a minute after I went in the hole rode in and looked. I was in the hole assessing the situation and annoyed at my self for not seeing the hole. One of the guys said, too bad we don't do yamaha's and rode off.
I Learn'd a long time ago when you ride a Yamaha, you get ch!t on a lot by others, while riding and at the cabins and so on. It didn't come as a surprise to hear that, a lot of people in this sport feel they are better then you and entitled, check out the parking lots, it says a lot.
Wife and I got it out in about 1/2hr.
As a side note, I was even asked once with attitude by a guy to park down more away from his rig, lifted diesel with huge trailer, looking newish...LOL
While my old beater looks like it, well used..LOL
Ballzy considering.
I did to appease him because I'm there to enjoy my day.
The karma of that day is his sled blew out the crank within the first hour of being in the goods. Him and his 2 friends were struggling to get the sled out. Funny how his attitude changed when we ran into them, suddenly we were great guys. My buddy and I spent half our day helping them get that broken sled back on a trail.
People are weird, thinking we are all sledders is BS, what you drive AND ride tends to lead some to an unfavorable attitude of disrespect and entitlement.
I have met lots of great folks out there but they seem to be on the decline and NO age don't seem to be the issue. I have met plenty of old F'K out there and great young people.
Btw in both situations the guys were in their late 40's.
That said living here in Sicamous some of the things I see some sledders do such as having "Balls Deep" plastered across their trailer makes a guy shake his head and wonder what brought these people into the world lol
