Hi Everyone,
Looking to do a ride on the weekend to break in the new Indy Evo with my daughter and just wondering if someone could pass along an update on the trail conditions on the south side of the pass. I know snow has not been awesome but would be nice to know if its at least covered and...
Hi all,
Just wanted to share my experience with this new machine with all the dads out there looking for something for the kids to ride. We got a ZR200 this fall and finally had a chance to get out for a day. Overall we are very happy with the unit. Here are my observations:
- ergonomics...
Hey Guys,
I might be moving from a gaser to a diesel as my primary sled hauler and I just wanted to ask if the different grades of diesel at the pumps really make any difference - either in power or cleaning. I know the premium gas can make a big difference in my ecoboost so I am interested...

Hi Guys,
I know the Westbench is not the highlight for most playing in the deep pow back in the bowls but I am planning a trip in 2 weeks with the kids. Any updates on the trail condition/grooming/uneven surface/etc would be much appreciated.
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to add a comment here in case you don't get the newsletters or come to the meetings that often. Today I am firming up the order list to submit for the new jackets and hoodies that will be ordered tomorrow. If you have not yet placed your order and want one of these...

Hi guys,
Was talking with some guys about timing of Rave valve cleaning. Some are religious cleaners doing it every year, others not so much and then you get the group that basis this service interval by the oil used. I am curious if the community has some kind of consensuses on this issue.
Hi Guys,

Thanks

Hi,
Looking for some short term storage. I am purchasing a 12ft covered trailer and will need to find a spot for it until Oct when I can free up my RV stall. If you know of any opportunities please let me know. Preference would be as close to the NW part of town as possible.
Need to get some scratchers for the new sled. I have seen some ski mount types for the simmons. Just wondering if anyone has used these or other aftermarket products. I like the usability aspect of not having to worry about deploying or storing the scratchers as you go for different...
So after seeing numerous threads on this site indicating that if time and money limit your choice to either the AST training course or an airbag this year I followed the general advice to do the AST 1 first and try to buy the bag next season. So far I have only done the classroom session but I...
Hi Guys,
I checked out the details of the current offer to get the free extension of the factory warranty to the 3 yr time when I noticed that they have excluded the Sport model with the 800 PTek. Its very specific so it makes me think the 600 is still ok. Not real impressed with them...
