We're in negotiations right now (at work) and if we don't go on strike next week I'm going to upgrade my daughter's sled (she's 14yo) and keep the '84 340 Enticer she rides now for my son (12 yo). Gotta spend the strike fund I've set aside somewhere! She's been a really responsible rider and has been helping me wrench on my sled in the garage.
The important things I want are it has to be Skidoo (built in Canada; I'm an autoworker, what can I say!); it MUST have the 10 inch suspension and electric start.
I'm deciding between 2 sleds. There's '99 500 Formula Dlx which would be a twin to my '99 583 Formula Dlx.
Or for $1,200 less I can pick up a '97 Formula S 340 fan with electric start.
I really like the idea of riding identical sleds, (they're so pretty! lol) but that is obviously just an emotional decision. My brain tells me to get the fan because my son will eventually be riding it also and he is a speed demon with more guts than brains, and who JUST WON'T LISTEN! In fact for a long list of reasons I'm making him wait an extra year before he gets his license. As well, the fan will meet my requirements while not breaking the bank.
What do others think? I'd appreciate input from both parents and offspring!
