Hello all, New to the site. I switched from Skipoo to Arctic Crap last year. Bought a new non current 2003 ZR 8 efi for a sweet price and I sleep with it everynight. Awesome handling and suspension. Loads of torque and the EFI make's it run flawless. Mileage it outstanding for an 800. What can I say, I love my sled. Other sled's I enjoyed thoroughly. 72 Yamy GP292, 1980 motoski mirage special, 1981 AC jag 340, 1983 citatioon 4500, 1992 Skipoo PlusX. It actually snowed 2 inches here today and I'm prayin everyday for more of that precious white stuff. Here's to an awesome season!

Welcome to the site! Still got the Mirage?

I sold the Mirage Special to my brother inlaw. I bought it for $300 canadian about 7 years ago. It had 1200 original miles and I was the 3rd owner. Everything was in mint condition, even the tach and speedo lights still worked. The special was a rotax 377 with twin carbs and short track. Neat little sled. The Citation 4500(377 single carb, long track) I had, would out run the special. I think the longer track hooked up better. What are you riding this year?

I live just outside of London in Dorchester. I ride locally as much as I can depending on snow conditions. I have a good friend with a cottage in ParrySound so I usually get 2 or 3 good weekends up there. The scenery is great in the Muskoka's but for give it all out I really enjoy the local open field trails. It's nice to hit the local sno shacks in the bush. Throw a log in the fire and have a bevvy. It's good livin'.

I've got a 92 Doo Mach 1 and a 94 Mach Z 780 triple. The 780's scary....
