Nice, but I thought you were looking for a Duke? [evil]
I would love one, but up here the winter is almost as long as the summer. Have three bikes, no sled since '05.
This must change to maintain sanity.

[evil] indeed.
Just got home, in the dark, after riding it home from the dealer through a billion feet of snow.
Holy shit, does this thing rip. Good thing for the long, big-lugged track too (and reverse) - I almost got it stuck coming up a deeeeeeeep hill near a road intersection.
They dump oil in the first tank of gas (in addition to what it injects), so it's pig rich on oil for break-in. I can only imagine how much fun it'll be after that tank is burned up.
And after I do a little clutching magic. ;D
That thing looks bad-fn-ass!
Aren't there more sledders on here?!?
The new machine is decidedly badass. Got 100 miles on it this past weekend.
How badass? Well, you can be cruising along minding your own business at 55, pin the throttle and - BAM - up go the skis, leaving a rooster tail of snow in the wake. Wheee!! [evil]
I was crossing a driveway yesterday while on the way cross country to a marked trail, which meant I slowed to a crawl to traverse. While I was doing so, a car went by on the road parallel to me at highway speed. I nailed it, swerved over to get into the adjacent snow-covered field, and passed said car in about the distance of about a city block, hitting about 80 or so before I let off and they crept by. The kid in the passenger seat was taking pics on his phone out the side window.
This thing is a rush. I thought about gearing it up a tad for more top end, but the bottom end and midrange are truly addicting.

snow season here isn't long enough to justify such a purchase
I have too much crap and not enough time as it is anyway
I'd love to go riding w/ someone or rent one, but it's only 3 months of reliable snow here. I used to live down the road from a guy with a pair of modest sleds and we'd go ride through fields and wooded trails. I miss it.
