Heres the story.
Get to cabin. Find antifreeze on trailer under Polaris ('91 indy 650 w/ PSI pipes and new top end). Spend 3 hours driving around Indian River looking for water pump hose. Find hose next morning at Adventure Powersports (lots of broken Poo's there).SRX running great. Snow and trail conditions perfect.
Put hose in, sled is now backfiring.
Replace fouled plug. Finally riding!go to Burt Lake. Scott blows up belt 1/4 way across. SRX running great. Almost to other side I notice Torsion arm on Pol is hanging loose underneath. The bushing is missing. Tied in place with bailing wire. Go back across lake to Moosejaw trails. Good riding for both until we get to the powerline. Archer ALMOST rolls SRX down hill but catches it before damage is done( sorry, no pictures!). Back on trail Scott thinks Pol suspension is sick. Turned it on side and find bottom shock mount broken off. Limp back to town. Luckily he had to go slow because the gas hog was on fumes. We filled up at the same time and I still have 3/4 tank. Get them back on trailer and head back to the cabin. After we take the suspension out we find that the adjustment bolt has gouged his track down the center all the way around, destroying it. Well, at least we got 70 miles in. I let Scott ride the SRX a little, feeling bad for him. He thentells me " I dont like your sled, Doug. It jumps too much when you hit the trottle and it's too tall" !!!
Next time my wife comes with me.

. You know, you wouldn't leave your buddy stranded. I have friends with the same type of stories. " I've had 'er fer 10 years and I never has to do a ting with 'er. She's some machine. " 
Yah, untill you get up Saturday morning and have to spend 2 hours taking the carbs apart 20 times, three guys taking turns pulling it over then when you get it fired up you get 10 miles down the trail and something falls off of it. 
Man.......the sled was nice 10 years ago..........get over it. 
My 2 cents.
