Send some our way... spring is here but it is two months early!




Sounds like you have to be really special to ride the new Doo. So how special are you? Special Olympics special like snowmobiler and grandma? That is the level of special it is probably going to take...

They will let you ride the new doo, but you have put on your rose colored glasses, and drink a quart of doolaid before you go, so you will bring back a great "ride report" to them :)

Annndddd....if you say the right things, you get a whole years supply of free doolaid :)

I'm going to ride the new 850 this Friday. Tell me if you want to know something about it that I can help you find out. I'm not very much biased or paid for doing this. Just my dealer that offered me this opportunity.

Can you ghost ride it down a hill? Oh lets say about 100 meters into a 1 meter radius tree and report back how much damage it does to the sled? I tend to ghost ride my sleds into trees and am very curious on how much damage this is going to cause on the 2 new Gen 4's I have snow checked. Cheers and greetings to Sweden!

Oh I dont think we have 1 meter radius trees in Sweden. Or that long downhills either. Did that **** in Alpine, WY once. 5 meter ghost ride in steep terrain with me on right in the biggest spruce in Wyoming. Even cracked the headlights on that XM.

Can you pls share your thoughts how this new beast sidehills on both sides? If you stop it during sidehill and do a quick restart.....how snappy it will be? will you feel that this Gen 4 also tends to go with the nose up during sidehilling like the previous XM sleds? Thanks !
