hahaha lol..... how fun is it going over the top first try any how? i like a sled that takews a bit of persuasion
Summer or Winter, some of the drival always stays the same. I imagine like anything else, if the turbo makes it easy, I'd save it and let others play on the hills. Besides, it's the T-riders money and time, let them use it as they please.
Put up or shut up... that's the rule with the guys I ride with. It sounds like you run your mouth a lot on here, then when someone calls you to the table you can't ante up and prove yourself. I think you're skeeered.
i bet you guys take off your close and play tag in your riding group to!!! hey hes more then welcome to come this year during pow season to my area....
PARKING LOT POSERS EVERY WHERE.... hahaha
At least some of the responses in this thread are predictable. I could care less how "great" a rider someone feels they are. As long as they're out there and enjoying themselves, it's all good. If sitting at the bottom or top watching is what makes them happy, so be it.
For being no snow in the mountains rite now it sure gets deep here on the Forums.
Back to the topic, I would say it is a lot cheaper to buy a sled all done up. However there is a much bigger pride value to build your own.
If you buy one then when you’re sitting at the bottom or top of the hill, all you have to talk about is “I buy this bad buy from some guy”

I can't ride mine, but I decided it would be better to sit around on a sled that has horse power then ride one that does'nt.

pud ur a dick. lol. but I definately agree. The last few years out, especially last year we saw a lot of turbo guys sitting around, and even a big triple too. I ride a 1200 gen II, and some friends of mine run some pretty strong lighter triples. I don't know if I saw a single turbo pull on ANY of the hills we were marking early season. We'd fight and chew on the steepest deepest hills we could find, break the top and then ride to a hising spot where we could watch for the turbo guys who were there watching for the last hour. Not one sled would hit the hill, and if the hill was one steep enough or deep enough that you had to ride, you'd never see em over the top. If its drag race conditions they're more than willing to line up. Just my .02. This year may be different finally. Now there's a good rider on an alpine apex in our group, and he actually likes to climb, and wants to go really really freakin high.
Another point for the actual topic here though, if you're building your own machine you can get used parts and save a lot of money there as well. The used parts don't tend to depreciate again when u sell er either, buyer doesn't need to know that u got those parts used.

yea man haha i can be a dick but its all in fun i aint serious bout sh!t lol yea thats what im trying to say i seen so many boondocker turbos and mcx last year and to be honest i think the majority of the riders have to much power and money for there own good... im sure i have seen your group up in murrays before but we are the ones who usually header to the back where a lot of albertans see the first 2 hills and ride there all day long lol no offense...haha... did you happen to have a buddy on a apex turbo last year got right screwed up in a dog leg shoot between the rocks?
