well, we got a bunch of snow here in iowa, went out riding friday,saturday, and yesterday, except on saturday i was clipping along at 60-70 mph, and big oopsy! failed to remember that a dredge ditch was right there, and down i went, 20 ft.drop. all that happened to my sled was the bolts that hold the seat on, pulled through the seat, and it fell off, but i stayed on the sled. after saying a few choice words, and scaring the hell out of my friends, i had to laugh, cause i stayed on my sled! and rode it right back up the other side of this steep enbankment, back home and fixed the seat. and right back out i went! could have been really bad, but the ol polaris took it and grinned at me.
