Out of the loop for a couple of months. Building a new house and have not had time to update my new email address. Have been following Sked Talk since the being and have found all topics interesting. The T pocket seems a liitle crazy but if it works I’m sure allot of females would find it very useful. Wonder how you came across that one? If you are testing in Ontario I’m in. Was involved in one of your passed test and had a blast.

How about Haliburton Forest? I’m sure you have heard of it. I have never been but apparently their trails are always open in December! Could be an awesome place to test gear and sleds early in the season. Would make for an easy ride for you, “Yellowknife” and from Ottawa…where I’m from .

Hope your ribs are healing well.

Jon and I have been thinking of hitting the forest early this year, might just work out… cr

That sled looks like a missile. I think being behind the bars would make me pee sitting down.

Glad to hear you have some stuff coming down the pipe Chris. New stuff is always exciting, especially when it proves to improve.

I’m in Sudbury, Ontario at the moment admiring the various colours of leaves and watching them fall (pun intended)

I’ve got my eye on the trails as I drive across Ontario in the car, trying to send the vibes up to the snow god’s for the big trip here this winter. If any of my where abouts line up with any riding you have going on, let me know and i’ll try to get to you. I’ll be in Ontario from xmas through end of January.

Nice pics!

That just might work out, would like to meet you and offer you a ride on something lets say is… special keep me posted on your Ontario ride, cheers cr

A chance to test ride with Yamaha, wow! Count me in! Full disclosure: I only had my SRX two winters. (Which is why I was so eager for you to continue writing your SRX story.)
Only tried the trails once last winter. Got a two day pass and what a difference from my usual high speed lake rides between fishing holes to twisty up and down trails. It was a 8 hour ride up but loved the adventure. My fiance (now wife since Saturday) on the back of the SRX with our heavy backpack. My parents on their 05 Venture first time back on a sled in 25 years. We all had fun. Best of all my wife wants to do it again! Saddle bag for the SRX is a must this time.

All this to say Chris if you want a fresh perspective of someone who never tried a newer sled or done much trails. But has lived for winter sport all his life. Count me in.

been watching as well….

I’m surprised they use a clutch at all. The 1/4 midget guys fom the US run sled engines direct drive and the pull off the turns – huge…old Polaris triples.

We laugh…the guys from the deep south that run these things…well..guess nobody told them they had to have a clutch.

Hey Chris, I live 2 miles from the groomed trail system which travels from Sault Ste. Marie all the way to hearst and back around to the Sault. These trails are begging for some protype stuff to be tested… Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

That would be the ideal, think snow! cr

Count me in!!! Anytime, anywhere. I don’t care if it is a Bravo, a new touque or a turbo Apex. I’d love the chance to test it out and share my opinions. Just being able to say I was part of it is payment enough. My wife is available as well if you need a feminine opinion.

I’d be more than happy to help with product testing. Anywhere, any time. Actually, I don’t really need to ride anything. I am more interested in your methods, procedures and product targets. I want to see why it is what you end up with as a finished product can differ so greatly from what the customer base actually gets. Good example that we’re all familiar with is the hand warmers (I know.. dead horse). How is it they worked for you, but hardly none of us? Conditions? Gloves? Driving style? I’m fully aware of how a Japanese company does things as I have worked for them myself and even lived in Japan for 4 years. Some of the best people to work for if you understand the culture and ways of thinking.

Wow, that urinal thing…

That is some serious speed on salt. Hope they do well over there.

Any change to be a european test mule? I know this region is only a small part of the market, but we take the sleds on the edge, and sometime even over it.
