Does the sled make the rider?

Sounds about right, guy I brought a sled from today went to revy 2 weeks ago and out of 4 new xp's there ALL of them went though a belt, and one tank blew up, his Apex had no issues :rolleyes: Funny though how he's all nice now after the ride.....
 
I have been riding since 1970 and that don't make me an advance rider. I just like to go out and ride. It don't matter what other sleds I am riding with. I remember in the early days we would try the deep snow and spend the rest of the day digging out. Did it make me an advance rider,NO it made me a smarter rider. So just go out and enjoy your new sled.
 
well my camera did not want to work for me so i dont have many pics... sorry im a let down this time...
but the ride started with him being 30 minutes late cause he got stuck on the unplowed road with a 2 wheel drive pickup... sled was more than the truck im pretty sure.
then the ride consisted of tp getting stuck on flat ground about a hundred times lol (snow was waist deep and bottomless so you can decide whos at fault, weather or rider?) and then that xp blew a belt...
my m1000 ran sweet and i didnt get stuck once!
nmfh also btw...

It can't be.................... a modular with that much "advanced rider skill" What a potent combo.

Must have been tough to keep from laughing.
 
Well I just got back and thought I would let all you guys know the Minie me is a super nice guy to ride with and really knows his way around. I would say his riding skills are almost as advanced as mine so we had a great time. Thanks for showing me around AJ

w:confused: tf....

FOR SALE, One XtraParts XPeriemental sled. This thing was a hunk of crap. I thought just maybe he MAY be a better rider so when he offered to ride my sled after we got the new belt on it I said sure, than he goes out and almost doubles my highmark with my own sled but was 1/2 as high as the M1000! You guys may have won the battle but when I get my new M1000 I will show you all who wins the war. Theres a new sheriff in town boys and he will be on a M1000!

Sounds like minie me is the new Sheriff in town!!:eek: LMFAO for a hour!!:D
 
ohhh lordie. You probably pissed off alot of XP boys. Go under Mountain Deep power section at the thread XPvsM1000 and post your findings :)
 
AJ - guess I better get up there and see how the 1000 stacks up to a real sled! ;) :D Course, I'm still waiting for another 4-5 feet of base. You guys are crazy flying around off road this time of year, and I can say that because I have an $3000 insurance claim to prove it and there was three times the snow that's up there now. :eek: How's the new jobby job?

Ya know,....(1)A good coat of wax is always better than a proper clutch setup, What brand of wax did you use? That could be one of your problems
Also (2)how many times a night did you go in your garage and start it before you actually rode it? I heard there was a certain limit, You might have exceeded it.
But there is the possibility(3) your "pretty advanced skills" out rode the belt itself.

But I think I'm gonna have to go with........#1
 
still lookin for the guy on the mountain who hands out the advanced rider certifications!!
been lookin for years, mayby he has seen my stuff and i just dont qualify:(
Ohh well guess ill just keep ridin cause i enjoy it:)
 
I gotta give trackpoucher a hand, he may have spent more time talking that XP up on here than he did riding it. However only an pretty advanced rider would recignize a true POS (he said) in just a few hours of riding it. Now that being said, he is jumping brands but is still the king of the hill. lol
 
Well it's a good thing that Mini actually met the guy or I would have to assume that "Trackpoucher" was just another Nigerian Scam artist with his fine grasp of the english language and his amazing spelling prowess.

By the way, What the heck is a track poucher?
He had that same name on the old forum and if he really meant track poacher he had an excellent opportunity to fix the poor spelling when he signed into the new site.

Mini, is this guy "Special" or something?
You met him, Tell us!!!:confused:

Too bad about the lack of pictures though. I would have loved to have his "Pretty Advanced Riding" skills shown here on the 4M's. Maybe we could all learn something.:p

Does the Sled make the rider? Well it can definately help, But I think "Poucher" may have proven that even with an awesome sled like an XP, Miracles aren't guaranteed :D
 
I sure as hell don't consider myself with advanced riding skills since you really can't define that anyways, but I know I cant just go hop on someone elses sled and himark as high as I did on my own. I would bet that if poucher hopped on minies m1000 he would have been lower then he did on his xp.
P.S. Minie Me- Not taking anything away from you or your sled. Obviously it seems you were a better rider and i can tell by looking at your sled that it works.
