Seems like my riding style changed this year. Now I just want to go fast. I rode the lake 80% of the time. I put 4 miles on the trails. Maybe 40 making all my own. The rest of the time I was testing what did what and seeing how fast I could go. That does get old after a while though. I don't think I want a drag race setup but like to do that. If I went that way I think the sled would be useless for anything else. I guess I would want a lake monster that I could take on the trail and cruise every once in a while. Have to run 93 and no higher. That much $ for gas would take the fun out of it. No aftermarket pipes, I don't think there is anything wrong with the srx pipes no matter how you ride. Nothing can happen until after my late Fathers estate is settled. His widow is trying to hose myself, my brother and sister out of our inheiritance so gotta pay legal fees. Just today I found out that the court date is mid next month. She already auctioned off 75% of our willed stuff and he even had a prenup. I know we are not going to get half of whats willed to us because she sold it. He was a gun collector and they were all willed to my brother, she sold over half of them(he had to have over 50)we ended up with 15 maybe or 20. My brother had 5 dui's so he is a felon and cant have any so I got a bunch and my sister got a bunch. I don't want to get in to it on the srx forum, the lounge is a better place for that but thats why I've been waiting to really buy anything. We shouldn't have even had to hire a lawyer. That John Deere sled I have he bought brand new. I didn't get it from my Dad but that all I really have left of him and He knew I found it a few months before he died. A buddy of mine asked me if I wanted an old sled he had in his shed, I said sure and it was the one my Father bought new. The one in my sig. He gave it to my brother as a graduation present and he sold it after many problems with it. The thing was ready for the bone yard when I got it but look at it now, my garage. Sorry, getting off topic but just found out about the court date literally hours ago. Once that is all done, then I can go nuts on the srx. I don't even know for sure what year the motor is from. I smoked the original one and bought one on ebay and got lucky. I isn't any newer then a 99 because all the wiring matched.
