Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted December 26, 2024 Premium Member Share Posted December 26, 2024 Holy f*** Batman I hope you get to use the hell out of it I presume you have electric gear including face shield and heated grips and I can't imagine the electronics on that thing how far can it jump!? I remember riding a snow sled in Minnesota in 1970 on a golf course in the twin cities I wasn't prepared or dressed for it really but it didn't stop me I don't recall if I wore a helmet I think there was a chick on the back and we were having a blast zooming around this golf course was crazy at night! I remember coming up on a slight rise and I cut her hard left and backed it up to the edge and it was damn lucky I did because there was a 15-ft drop at least down to where they stored lawn care equipment and right where we would have gone over there was a towed aerating drum! Just dumb luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dumb luck I get out every weekend I can. Not sure how high it jumps (yet), but the 850cc two-stroke Polaris Patriot mill puts down about 170hp. The sled comes in at 428 pounds. It rips. I grew up riding vintage sleds and 70's / 80's dirtbikes. Those were probably some of the happiest times of my life.

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted December 28, 2024 Premium Member Share Posted December 28, 2024 When I (we) rode em, they weren't vintage, yet! I ran on British street steeds mostly but raced Yamaha 2smokes road racers. Quite the dichotomy. 170 and under 430, that's INSANE. Gotta try one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks kid! I really hope I can take you up on that next winter. Right now I can't for several reasons. I do have the gear though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
