Times are tough....

I enjoy my old prowler......

Hell before I knew any better I thought the 136" was really long.

I corn-holed a stump this year real early, riped the belly pan almost off....Summer project !

I no that i wouldnt be riding very much if i had to get an old school sled...it surely wouldnt be as fun!

 

[xcrash911]

I would ride just as much. I was riding a 95 Storm the last two seasons and a 94 XLT before that. I just stepped up to the Edge chassis this year with an 03 800 Escape for me and an 04 800 Escape for the wife (back up sled )

I live in a valley that seems to be grey 95% of the winter, there is nothing better then getting some sunshine in the mountains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it came down to having to sell my sled and ride an 80's model I would just sell it and hang it up until i could afford it. I would pass the time on my 02 crf450. i would sell a lot of other stuff before i got rid of the sled though. i really dont think i could sell it...everything I have is in it.

Well you guys who said no are not real sledders then! I know I would just two short years ago I still rode a 1982 citation 4500 I put over 1300km on it in just one season..thats more than ive been able to put on my old 600 and my 800 and there has only been one time where I wasnt able to make it in to a place oh and I also was riding with early 2000s sleds like mountain maxs rmk 700 summit 600s the only down side is you miss out on the best part of sleddin (the powder) ....if there is more than 2 feet you wont be goin far. I think you guys are forgetting about how good thoes old sleds actualy went I mean sure you can only climb on herosnow days but hey sleddin is sleddin and you can sure have ablast in the field where you would never ride your new sled!!

I've had more fun that I care to admit putzing around the house on an old Elan. That little sled is a going machine, plus I get good laughs from anyone who sees a 210lb, 6'2" guy riding around on a "toy" sled..(=

 

[Snoclo]

I wouldn't enjoy it as much knowing what I had been riding, Still fun!

Got a 440 Raider Twin Track, kind of like a fat chick-with a pretty face
Haven't had it out in awhile, broken throttle cable- I think I'll have another

I'd still ride, but man would that be difficult going back in time. There is no substitute for todays' technology.


Off topic:

It alwayse gets me when someone has this romantic idea of being born in the wrong era.

They obviously havent thought it through, as they drink water from a faucet in their house, do their business in a heated bathroom inside the house with indoor plumbing, while texting on their i phone, with cable tv going in the other room, and lights on in every room in the house.

mean while we are able to drive within 10 minutes of our house and have a full meal prepared for us within minutes, and store food in a refrigerator. That's just a taste of the amenities of modern times.

There are so many other reasons that most of these people would change their mind if they thought it through.

Granted, there are those select few who probably would rather have lived their lives in the 1800s, but most of us would not trade todays facilities for those of the past. Not on a bet...

food for thought.
