Hey guys,
Just moved up to Fairbanks in time to get introduced to Arctic Man and sledding. I got hooked, bought a trailer and an 05 Ski Doo Summit 1000 162". Got it cause it was cheap. Just picked it up this week so I haven't been able to ride it yet. Had a friend look it over for me though and it seems good. Only 500 miles. Looking forward to getting out this next season and seeing what it can do! Also looking forward to learning anything anyone is willing to tell me about riding and maintaining my machine. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and once I get to know it, I want to put some mods on it. Left-hand throttle, etc.
