How many Michiganders do we have here that ride a 155 sled, have it be on the trail or tearing it up in the UP out in the sticks?
I bought myself a 155 pro rmk this year and I can't tell you how many people have lectured me that it is not necessary to have a sled that long and that a 137 is all the track length you need.
To prove my point I asked a few fellas if they wanted to come show us how it's done on a ride on Friday and most of you that live in MI know that the Sault has been getting dumped on, thank you mother nature
. So Friday came and we met up and went for a ride, we got to a little secret spot I know of in the Sault and proceeded to take them there on their 137 pro s machines. They ended up getting stuck about 7 times and the majority of them were just ski tug stucks and they were moving again. When we got to the clearing and hills we set him free and sat back as these guys tried showing us that a 137 is all that was needed.
After the day was over their tunes quickly changed and apologized to me and my friend for ragging on us about having these sleds. I told them for the riding we do this is what we like and when it comes down to it, it is all user preference and this year I'm happy to have a 155 sled.
This tuesday we are taking a guy out that has a 121 with an inch and three quarter lug so see if his tune changes as well.
It would be fun to hear your experiences with having a long tracked sled in Michigan and having people tell you that its not needed so post up them stories of being lectured! Michigan forum has been too quiet!
