Blue River on the 21st to the 22nd, should be great, never rode in the mountains before, so hopefully they take it easy on me the first day at least.

I have 750Km on my XP. Mcbride, Revelstoke, Whitecourt,, Blue River/Valemount, and around home. Finally went through my first belt, and am getting the "new" wider, shorter, stiffer one on warranty.
I glad to see you got a chance to test it, How do you like the set up? If you need more weights a good place to get them is at Acklands about 5 cents each, I put 25mm in mine this week and I`ll test it on the weekend. And I got about 550 miles on the XP this year, and about 5 trips.

Hey extreme. Where you riding on Sat.? I have logged about 2100 km this year so far. Just got back from a nite ride up Bell, a Valentine ride with the ladies. Great nite for it, +4 and snowing. A little wine and cheese and back home.

Hey...how is the dragon to ride around the flatlands???

Pretty good, front end darts a little on the trail in the corners, but overall it gets a thumbs up. The performance when there is a little powder makes it all worth while. But this is my first modern sled, so my experience on them is more limited. Very happy with the machine for sure though. Let a couple of the guys ride it for a few miles on the last ride, wasn't sure they were going to get off of it.:D

Well I found it a little heavy but only been to the mountains once and was very bushed so ... but it seams ok.
Its a poor man who blames his tools!

oh yea you should try out an apex or a nytro, the apex might be a bit heavier but the 30 more horses makes up for it.
