At the time all major manufacturers were running triple cylinders sleds..artic cat had the thunder cat 1000..ski-doo had the mach z triple...polaris the 800 storm triple ...Yamaha had the 700 srx triple.. Ski-doo broke the mold by going with a twin...everyone figured a 800cc twin two stroke was just not physically possible at the time..has it wouldn't reliable for trail riding...400cc pistons spinning at high rpm..

The ultimate sled....lol. It was a 2001 ski- doo 800 cc twin..think pushing out 140 hp. It was a limited run machine made to promote the following year machine who would be called the Renegade... Back then all trail machines ran a shorter track length..this was the first year a 136 inch track was introduced ...and it blew everything off the trails...ski-doo put the works into this machine..to clutchs ..engine..everything was top notch...I learned of this model coming out...through my dealer where I bought countless machines from..we are actually good friends and at time would ride together...there was only 1 machine per dealer available and had to be pre-ordered with a deposit...

Anyway for 2001 season...it was the fastest 1/ 4 mile sled in my neck of the woods...guys would scatter like rats when I pulled up on the lacs for runs...lol..they be all saying...ffs not him again...lol

Hey I want to tell you about the last sled I owned before giving up on the sport....should I continue in the gibberish thread ?

I’m sure you won everything, you and Rich are the forum experts on everything.

I smoked those two polaris by the way...lol ..that was the finals...600 cc stock machines. Grew up in hay days of snowmobiles...my father was habit enthusiast....every weekend almost..drag racing events all over the province..winter time...he was never into motorcycles thoe...he race one winter for the factory team snowjet on oval track...71 or 72....just before his 160 foot plunge...

You can see how they converted it to what you ride now.

Yeah it does have a habit of drying out abit

Some more old pictures...not sure who exactly took this picture of me on the open road... my twins sitting on the bike ..think the bike was only a few days old... Me in the Gaspe peninsula. Was always involved in some type of motorized sport...summer or winter... Me at a snowmobile drag event ..on the red sled.

i bought a load of baccy off a fella, it smoked alright but dried out to quick

Ya then tell me why you shaved your head...your copying my look ? Or you have a lice infestation ?

That’s a sign of inbreeding, common in those small towns in Canukistan.

No...lol...Pete has a full head of hair...so did I back then...started loosing my hair...mid thirtys...lol.

Yeah I roll them myself

Amber leaf..?....im guessing your rolling it yourself...I tried that many years ago...just to much of a pain in the rear for me...

That guy stood with you must be all of 5’10”

In the 2nd pic is that Pete in the background in the red tshirt?

Nothing new for you.

I pay £20 for a 50g of amber leaf so its not that expensive

10 in front...10 in the rear...lol.

Are inches inches bigger than just inches?

And 04 standard is... And has the same suspension has and 05 S model..

I think..in my mind anyway the o4 are special...these standards were actually taller than the following years including all of the S models...

Look what you've done ...lol...you made me pull out those old pictures..lol. The pic of me sitting on the bike was actually taken by Brian Flanagan...aka flanny from orange crush...lol.

It’s a nice bike, but usually they don’t value the shorter version though.
