so the trailer was holding on by the chains oh yeah that was fun! So i called a buddy came and got it. Fast Foward to Hours Got to eagle river gased up and ready to go meet 2 forum members out there and had a GREAT ride. DiD not hit ONE rock. got in some sweet carves maybe 2-3 deep in areas.

Heres the sad part. Was Driving home and our driver - WHo Shall be nameless- Took a corner a Little to fast and the trailer goes in the ditch. Almost got stuck in it. We look back

NO SLEDS ARE ON THE TRAILER

and yes we had tiedowns and the works.

I look and my M7 and his rev are upside down in a ditch.. Great... so we run over to them. I lost all my collant my hood is cracked all to chit Steering Post is bent,tunell is bent 1 inch on the left side and my brave lever is looking at me now lol.

We flip up his rev. yup you guessed it. 0 damage. So we Drop the sled off at pauls in earle river arctic cat and im having a insurance person gona come by and do a estmate this week. They said 2-4 weeks before i get my sled back.

Sucks bro, atleast when you get your sled back there will be LOTS of snow.

MARV1 · Oct 14, 2008

Maybe you'll piss yourself off when you can't ride the M7 this weekend after more fresh snow.

BottomFeeder m7. · Oct 14, 2008

the holy grail. BACK UP SLED!

CATillak · Oct 14, 2008

Thats my back up sled too! but mines an 01 and when the rev clutch busted the motor was blown on the cat lol... so it didnt make much of a back up sled. Well im sledless at the moment besides an mxz 600 and the SRX so iv got 2 weeks before my sleds are together so we should go riding then.

you would have been so proud to see how fast i ran over to my sled. I dont think the truck was stopped

When you go. The upper Swamps arent froze over yet and there really isnt much for a base. Just enough for road covarge but up higher theres like a foot more snow. You will see our tracks we went up and left.

CATillak · Oct 14, 2008

Sounds like your jumpin one the white M band wagon aye? We finally got the rest of the 09 tunnel parts in for the 06. Bros taken em to get powder coated white then its upto the feller on here helpin him out to do the cutting and welding, should be sicc. The black tunnels gonna make all the white pop. It WILL induce vomitting.

REV GUY · Oct 14, 2008

Bottom Feeder, It was a good ride and nice to just get the sled out in the snow again. Nice to meet you and Crazy, sorry you guys day ended that way.

AK800VE · Oct 14, 2008

Damn Robert that sucks. I am glad I didnt go along.

Hatchers is an evil-evil place. I think some old gold miners ghosts hang around there...

my hatchers incidents:
1) hood/bumper/new paint
2) bent spindle
3) garmin gps
4) my truck got hit coming down the palmer side
5) chaincase explosion
6) cracked tunnel and bruised ribs
7) reed failure
8) lost emergency kill doo-dad...needed towed over the top palmer side.

the first four are mine, the rest are split between 3 buddies...

all in all about a 50% broken/hurt/failure rate. Not so good in my book.

Glad you guys are ok, and nobody got hurt. Besides, if they are replacing a hood and a tunnel, it may be a good time to upgrade to Van Amburg....see how much extra it is for them to put the tunnel on while its in the shop. Your skid may be bent as well, call timbersled...he he he

Ride/Drive safe everyone....

Stewart ....STFU, you know were going tomorrow! Why jinks us???
