Never saw this side of you Phil

Its all good man I have thick skin, you have to have thick skin to run a site like HCS

I ride in CNY as well as Tug Hill at times and needed more suspension than the Apex would offer and i would never buy a sled with a 7 gallon tank so the Nytro was out. I think with AC and Yammie colaberating you may see a more agressive suspension in the yamaha which for me is the ONLY downfall to owning one and where I ride. I have not met anyone that after they had seat time on the 1200 didnt like it I think you will fall in love with yours like I did. I concur and keep them outta the ditches!! LOL any 4 stroke for that matter the 1200 is lighter but they are all heavy when they are dead weight.

They were very tight lipped about the new stuff coming out. We pushed the 4s because alot of us have the 1200's about 7 of us to be exact. I think the Pro-ride suspension in the Switchback is about the same ride as the R-Motion myself. They didnt want to hear about the 4s because their numbers didnt show that it was a needed sled in their minds. I tried to get thru to them that there was no reason for me to jump from SD to Poo becuase they didnt offer anything I am interested in as far as 4s. I cannot afford to replace a sled every 2 years any more with the prices and I dont want to worry about a 2s with 6k on it burning down in the middle of my season thats why i went with the 4s. I have heard rumors floating around that they may do something with the RZR motor in a sled but who knows rumors are just that till they hit the snow.

I just got back from representing HCS at the Polaris terrain domination tour with Levi Lavellee and in the meeting with the marketing director I told him that Poo needed a better 4s to get me on one. Told them until then I would not trust any 2s motors out there in the 800 mill. And BTW I dont care what you ride or what brand and i am not bashing just stating facts that Yamaha is a real nice touring sled and they usually need exhaust doughnuts by 5k miles,not bashing stating facts. I have done the Gaspie loop with Phil and Jackstraw and they will tell you thats not what I am about. I love snowmaching and dont care if you are riding a Rupp

Welcome to 2013 the SD XR 1200 has been out for 4 years And I personally never bashed Yamaha they make a great touring sled for Canada.

Thats great news I hope some people get their vehicles back.

Jean-Guy great pics as well I hope everything is well

Very true may happen more in the St Zenon area but it happens at home too I know someone right now looking for his 3 sleds at least he got the trailer back that they were in right in NE PA but he got something back. Like you said you lose it in QC kiss it good bye forever,corrupt cops with bikers on the take IMO. Wouldnt be surprised if the cop that drove thru the hotel where the truck was stolen wasnt in on it.

Thanks so much. Ill throw mine in too with the miles I have on this 1200 right now you would go thru bogie wheels and exhaust doughnuts on a yammie and I have done 1 bogie wheel on mine in just under 12,000 miles,Thats bulletproof.

Hey TB how are you? What do you think you can pull in for a 2010 1200 Gade with say 12,500 with fresh DS bearing and well taken care of?

FYI I was at Rustys today and he will let that silver GSX go for $11,300 it was $12,400 11.686 miles on my 2010 1200 Gade and counting did cpl idler wheel bearings and just did secondary spring oh the agony!!

Seeing alot of the Doo 1200's out there now Thats what Jimmy and Eric are riding this year also. ;) I need some more details on what your plan is for the trip on the 15th? or the 17th? it has changed? Phil sent me a PM saying the 17th.

Your a good man helping them out,great pics as always
