If you want to get rid of a smaller one I'd be interested, I need one and hate buying new.

I like that method too! To be honest, that was my first instinct, worm and a hook. Now lets see if the 4 dozen worms in my fridge last that long, or if my wife allows it -can you see if the chinese food in the styrofoam containers is still good? haha.

I like the X in the sky. Clever photo

I thought you has a skandic only? Did you sell it and then buy the tundra?

There's a zero percent chance we'll get an open liquor fine down there. Specks open in feb. Let's do it

Yes, but you'll need snowshoes for the winter fishing haha

Burn through or discard your old gas. Get some ethanol free and mixed gas (50-1 unless your machine needs a unique mix) and filler up. Not sure if your machine has an oil injector but for old machines I just pre-mix the gas and forget the oil injector. If the injector fails, you won't lose your engine. Like someone else said. A carb clean or rebuild (around $150 I'm guessing , including labor if you don't want to do yourself) will probably make it run nicer. If you are worries about it sitting', covering it properly and lifting the track during the summer will avoid a lot of general aging.

Joey, we walked like 3 kms that time! Probably not the best choice in hip waders at +30 after a beer night haha Rick, it's about 600 meters behind my house and I have no direct trail to it yet. Biggest obstacle is the fast drop over the last 200 meters. It's a semi-difficult trek. Nice thing is no One else has easy access for a few kilometres

Nice! Thank you fishnguy. I like your method

Maybe I'll start a fire first just in case. We'll see how it goes, will certainly report on it!

There is a comedian who has a bit about butter chicken being the food that closed the gap for white people eating Indian food. Butter? Chicken? I recognize both those words hahaha

Exactly! No float suit, but a life jacket and ropes

Definitely more effort to do this, but they do get to 16"+ and it's on my property so a bit of extra incentive

Haha I believed you too. What year is that, 2002?

Drew, is the front end on your Bravo lifted? Looks like it sits quite high. Betcha she travels deep snow like a champ. Manitoubass: Are those built-in cupholders in the dash???? If so, that might be the best thing I've ever seen on a sled.

From what I researched, it was simply an overheating issue due to the design of the Edge hood. They then used nicasil? coating on the cylinders or the walls . Might have been some earlier issues too that I'm unaware of.

Freshtrax: The white XC's were my 'dream' sleds for years! Great looking machine. 12ft: Is that the 488 indy trail? That is one bullet proof engine. I had a 1995 Indy Trail for years and other than some rear suspension issues, it was a ridiculously reliable machine. I've read a lot of bad things about the 550 engines in the Edge Chassis, beware of rebuilt 550's.

What, Bravo's come with windshields? That sleigh in the first pic is nearly as cool as the enticer. Dave, thanks for the reference. Nice machine!

This spring Brad! I could probably wrangle up Dana and Joey for a spec adventure. If Brian wants to give me a fly fishing lesson, he's in too hahaha. If you have a camper, lots of space to camp on my land. If/when I pull some specs from below those runs in the winter, that would be quite the unique experience.

yep, he's got it stored at my place, once the temps went above 0, it started just fine.

That safari is going to last you a long time! What a great pickup

I just assumed the Tundra was not LT, because the Bravo's track was so much longer. I was gonna test the voltage regulator... I don't know why the taillight would work fine and the headlights burn out...??

Had one attack my domestic rabbits through the chicken wire holes. Watched the whole thing. He took off as I approached. Did some serious damage to my poor bunny's foot. .. Had to shoot it

Promised Chris Brock about 3 months ago I'd post pics of my sleds. Here they are! '89 Tundra, I think regular track. Runs like a top, burns out headlights and needs new sliders, no big deal. Only paid $125 for it! '90 (?) Yamaha Bravo, LT I think. My brothers sled, but he keeps it at my place. Runs ok. In pretty terrible condition, needs new track, tailight, seat and probably many other parts. I don't use it much because I don't want to be stuck with the repair bills.
