Hi from New Brunswick - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

maggiemay199819 · 03-14-2008, 12:09 PM

Hi all. Im new to this forum but not new to the sport. I drive a 1990 400 liquid Polaris Indy. I am partially diiabled by Artheritus so last year and this year I have to pick my rides. BUT I am lucky enough to have a huband that likes to fix and build sleds so My 400 has been kind of customized for me. I have a custom made shorter seat as I am 4 foot 10 in tall. I have Ryde FX shocks all around, including the front of the bed where it is needed for that quick weight transfer under full throttle.[ especially when youre 4 foot 10 in. and sit forward on the sled] My lazyboy on snow sports agressive eazy steer and 96 woodys carbides that are not agresive to provide me with the ability to carve corners whilst spinning that back end around.Thus making less stress on me. My 34% helix and clutch tinkering makes my 400 screem out to 8 grand "right now" and along with my suspension set up makes the sled VERY easy to handle and VERY predictable. I travel with much bigger sleds so I have EGT gauges and a water temp gauge. I love this sled so when everyone else went bigger I didnt change but I did get the "Made espcially by polaris for..." tag. Now to brag...My couch has 23000 miles on it. Yes miles not killometers. Had a few pistons [the gauges] Am on my second clutch. It has 17000 miles on it. Anyway Thats nough for now Dont need to bore you yet.

Hey, quite new here too and I love the place, hopefully you will too.

Where abouts in New Brunswick are you. I live in Woodstock, which is about an hour north of Fredericton.

Im 18 Miles north of you. Between Florenceville and Hartland On Riverview drive. You go past all the McCains' houses and mansions..and the next house is mine. We're not famous or anything but you probably know us. Im not going to mention my name but we grow flowers. Used to be at the market every week. Also, Hubby worked at the polaris place in Woodstock for awhile. We also D.J once in awhile and I play sax and keyboards in a few bands when I feel up to it. Do you know me yet? Im notsure who you are but Ill figure it out. I have a lot of brothers and I bet you'e either sledded with me or one of them. Ever hear of Possum Lodge Warmin Hut?

Welcome to the forum fellow Canadian. Out here in Manitoba we've had some mild weather and the conditions are very poor.I wonder if our snowmobile season is over. How is it out your way?

jag340 Boy · 03-16-2008, 09:09 PM

its nice here i live about an hour away from him.... we have about 5-6 feet of snow but warmer weather this week supposed to be 40 degrees F on tues day

maggiemay199819 · 03-16-2008, 09:55 PM

Its still pretty cold although today was a bit warmer. It sure seems like we'll be sleding for a long time but I know when she goes , she can go fast. But then we head out to the camp. Out back of bristol, out over sheaperd hill. Between there and Juniper and Plaster Rock. You should know where that is Jagger Boy. Getting right up there towards your country.Theres way more snow out there than in here by the river. You ever been to Frozen Mitton Corner Or Thrill Hill or Four Corners or O'Dell?

Nope, we don't travel across the border too much so, I'm not very familiar with the towns and cities over there.

Can't seem to figure out who you are, but I'd be willing to bet my dad would know you, your husband or one of your brothers. Possum Lodge Warming hut does seem to ring a bell, although we usually do most of our sledding down towards Caterberry (spelling?)

Have you ever been to Palfrey Lake Lodge? We go down there quite a bit.
