Reply to banditcj7 and Vmax540; I don't know either one of you,and likewise you don't know me. So if what I have to say offends you, I apologize in advance. I have been an avid snowmobiler for over 40 years and during that time I have owned over 40 sleds. 14 of these sleds were purchased new, and the remainder of sleds were used sleds that I rebuilt, restored,made into modified race sleds or built customs from them. I have never owned a sled that was trashed or run into the ground. My sleds are maintained constantly and kept in as near perfect condition as possible. Why would you both assume that I would be trashing and destroying this sled just because I made a very fast custom out of it? Do you reallize that there were probably 50,000 or so Exciters made over the years and they are really not a rare sled by any means. I can buy them all day long for $100-$800 in any condition. So I will not feel guilty for building this sled, and you two can buy all of the other 49,999 and restore them and sell them for $600 bucks each and lose money on every one of them. If you are offended, so be it, Because I am very offended by the remarks you made about me.
