Not Now....:yikes::yikes::roflblack:

[ARtraveler]

No, No, No. I have had enough. I just want to ride my :spyder2::ani29:'s.

[Rob Rodriguez]

Watched that this morning. We are forecast to get 4-8" here Friday and we have about 6" on the ground now. Still riding sleds a bit although another week or so and it will be over. Then I'll have to wait for mud season to end so I can get the Spyder out.

One thing I don't understand. How can BRP/Rotax be on the cutting edge of 2-stroke sled engine technology and be no where near cutting edge 4-stroke technology on their sleds or Spyders or wheelers or any of their vehicles really.

[Bob Denman]

:clap: That sled sure is bringing some exciting technology to the mix... :firstplace:
But I couldn't care less right now: I've got my :spyder2: on my mind! :2thumbs:

[michrick]

Yep snowing here in the Southern Tier on NY, at this rate I will never get my new baby home :(:banghead:

[bmccaffrey]

Well I feel for my fellow New Yorkers

I'm in Cape Coral Florida sunny and 80 degrees

[Netminder]

We are supposed to get a few inches tomorrow :yikes::yikes:. This is a never ending winter!

[Deanna777]

Winter needs to leave now! They are forecasting " 5 - 12 inches of (snow) White Fungus. I still have snow on the ground. It is end of March. When will winter end. I have had enough snow. Time for Spring, and :riding::riding::riding::riding::trike::trike: season to start. Deanna

[kngfsh27]

Got my '17 on Jan 24. Got over 1500 miles on it. Rain is killing me right now. Glad we don't have any snow.

[Saluda]

Snow or not we're done sledding.
Rob, I feel Ski Doo has done well with their 4 stroke technology. Also feel that over all they've done well with the Spyders.

[kngfsh27]

Could be a whole lot worse. Could be us here in west central Missouri getting snow. We are getting rain that we really need. Got over 1500 miles logged since the end of January so I can't complain.

[Bob Denman]

It's just been rain, and 37 degrees here. (So far!) 145560

Lynx has been around for MANY years, and is part of BRP. It's just not sold here in North America.

[Lew L]

That is just under 59 FEET of snow fall this year. Little Mt. Rose/Ski Tahoe has the most recorded snowfall is the US. AND----- a record amount since record keeping began there.
All the snow is gone from around my house but not so just a 1000 feet above my elevation. Some of the local desert lakes in the vicinity are due to flood come the spring melt( if it ever happens).

As a small storm blew through yesterday---- I'm off to ski ( actually a bit of racing) today.nojoke

Kaos

[Bob Denman]

59 FEET?? :yikes:
We had 59 inches of snow; that's almost 50% more than an average year...

[crazycanuck]

we have received a years worth of rain in 5 months. :banghead:

My spyder is still dead.

[Bob Denman]

My spyder is still dead.

:shocked: How dead, and do you know why? :dontknow:

[crazycanuck]

:shocked: How dead, and do you know why? :dontknow:


well considering i haven't started it in like 2 years, its dead as in tried rolling it down the big hill I live on to start it only to have 3 of my neighbors help me push it back to the house:shocked:. not really sure why this marriage ended but just prefer my 2 wheels.

I however was given a ultimatum by the boss to either sell it or start it up and start using it. I figure I am not going to get anything for it with 70k miles on it so its best i get it serviced and use it. last time i rode it 2 years ago, i came home and it looked like brake fluid all over the garage, its been idle ever since. I knew i had to get it serviced when my house cleaner started using the spyder to dry the dogs sleeping pads on it.

[Bob Denman]

Good luck with the resurrection...

HeyMarkku,

Curious. Do the Lynx also have the option to run the 4-stroke 600 ACE, 900 ACE and 1200 engines or are they only offered with the 2-stroke E-TEC?


Anyone who knows Toni has to know Lynx https://www.snowmobilehalloffame.com/snowmobile-hall-of-fame-inductees/toni-haikonen/

[Markku]

Hello

Yes Lynx is able to use all Rotax engine models.Lynx is quite old manufacturer of Snowmobiles, the first snowmobile has been made in 1968.In the year 1993 the factory has been sold to BRP.I believe That the Rovaniemi factory prepares utility snowmobile frames to the Canada snowmobile factory.I myself have had three Ski Doo and two Lynx sport snowmobiles.

[vtrider]

But then again I live for the snow during the winter months and have a reason to. I recently acquired a new to me, spare sled for myself which I purchased used at a good price. It's a 2016 Yamaha SR Viper LTX and had less than 3000 miles on it and in mint condition. I also purchased a new trailer to haul the sleds earlier in the fall. Lots of money spent, but I had lots of fun this winter as well, with over 2400 miles of trail riding on the VAST trails! These are some pics that I took on my ride this past Sunday in Northeast Vermont in the Island Pond area. I rode both of my sleds that day. I took the Yamaha for the morning ride and took the Skidoo out for the afternoon ride and closed the day with 117 miles on some very good trails for the spring time. Whats funny is, it was such a nice day yesterday, that I decided to take out the Spyder after work and went on a cruise on that the first time this year. Yep, time to play with the Summer toy and put the winter toys away!

This past Sunday morning on the Yamaha

I then loaded the Yamaha on the trailer and took my Skidoo Blizzard out for the afternoon ride.

This is my new trailer. A 12 FT Nitro hybrid two place trailer. This would work to haul the Spyder as well if I ever needed to.

[Rob Rodriguez]

AWESOME! Way to go VTrider :) Just put my sleds away yesterday after riding Sunday.

I like winter as well. I never would have bought a spyder if I wasn't a sled rider all my life. Is your Blizzard a 4-stroke or E-tec? The Yammi is the only 4-stroke sled I've ridden that I would consider purchasing.

The Blizzard is a 1200 4-stroke. In comparing the two, the Yami has more of a sport ride characteristic. The Skidoo Blizzard is still sporty, but with a more plush ride. They both handle very well on the trails.

[Deanna777]

Nice pictures of the new( to you) sleds!

I bet there wont have much snow left after the rain on Thursday.

Hope to see you on the road on your spyder.
