I will not ride without mine anymore. My Freestyle was 160 shipped I think with the group buy. Not sure on that price since I bought it last winter. It provides tons of protection

I hope so^ It's time you got a new sled, that xcr has taken a beating and it's still running strong, can't ask more than that.

The group buy has since changed. You can get a free item with your purchase now. I think it was jersey, gloves, or shoulder pads. Here is the thread on that http://www.snowmobilefanatics.com/forum/...splay.aspx
Any questions call Rita on sizing. She's great I met her. If you mention my name and the spleen she would probably remember me. +1 on you for wanting a vest. I won't get into my rant how good they are.
You might need one if I ever race you on a lake again. Parts flying off my sled and hiting you when I pass you could be bad! Speaking of that wait till you see the new destruction picture I discovered, I will post it tonight before my archery league.

I wore my freestyle tekvest for the first time this last sunday on our ND group ride. Kind of hard to get in the habit of grabbing it. Anyways, after about a minute or so I didn't even realize it was there. Wore it over a sweatshirt and had my leather jacket over it. Only time I could tell was when we were stopped and BS'n, since it kind of supports you from slouching.

They definitely have more power then the police in ND, I'm starting to think it's that way everywhere. Bunch of BS for them to have that much power IMO.

^ You said me passing you is never going to happen again? What are you going to do? Add a cylinder? 
I have to research 4 strokes before I buy one. The money I currently have is going towards a house :P. I will tell you one thing. It will not be a yamaha.
It will probably be a polaris. I just want it to be the most american I can buy.
Hey with the exhaust talk going on in another thread here it made me wonder how my exhaust sounded to you guys? I mean FCat59 said reffered to my screaming triple passing him LOL.. but is it loud? Quiet? Opinions?
Edit- I have not received the video in my email from NY_driver.

I didn't think the ZRT pipes were overly loud by any means. Hope no one was annoyed by my XC, but I'm pretty sure most of you didn't even know it was piped.

Yea TJ you can't tell you sled is piped until you open the hood, Matt's sled was not really load but to the trail cops I bet it would be.

Well here is the additional damage I told you all I would post.
Remember when that belt detonated on me going down the lake?
Here is the right side (perfect)
And the left side, of course where the belt hit when it exploded. Imagine that hitting my foot!
 broken belt hit there

Damn, that ride on the reservoir caused more damage than we thought. Never thought about needing steel toed boots on the sled!

attaboy....I got my track today, discovered it's a 121 though so she wont fit, anyone need a new track? (matt!?!?!?! haha)
136 will be here tomorrow.
Your ZRT was the loudest of the group in my opinion, i loved it too....that thing would be rediculous with a 1.5 paddle Going to togg i hope???
And speaking of loud exhausts, firekitty can tell you how loud a 155hp 600 ski doo mod motor is hahahahah someone had to leave the garage.
might ride friday or saturday night, plenty of snow redfield-north. heard reports parish had 2 feet of fresh pow pow, lets go play boys!
wheres the vid!?
The video is 11.7 mb.....too large to e-mail to ACM. we will have to figure something else out if you guys want to see the ride to the Taberg gas station. Sorry I have had no luck trying to convert the file and it's way too big to send it to anywhere through my phone, too. It's great you got a new track so quick, have fun out there. Maybe see you this weekend, but I don't have any rearview mirrors on my machine. 
Is it ok to unload across from your house again. I am probably going to ride Saturday.....hopefully polarissledneck28 can make it, too. You are more than welcome to ride along.
Ride until you are broke and sore....
