Anyway...that thing would launch like 4 sled lengths before the other were barley moving out of the hole...it had 136 inch track with 1.5 inches..full block track ( had the track changed to a full block design ).it was branded has a summit 800...I pulled out a pic on the net...sure i have actual pictures of it somewheres You can see the actual difference in track length compared to that polaris next to it..

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 be 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 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...

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.

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

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

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...

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

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.

In a few years it will be considered a antic motorcycle..I plan to keep it running for has long has I can...who knows maybe someday in the future some bike collector might offer a fair offer for it...and it would be preserved for ever..that's the only way I'd consider letting it go...for it to be in a bike museum...

The ultimate...lol.

Oh shit that's expensive...I almost feel guilty of telling you what I pay...32 dallors taxes in..for a carton...8 packs...4 bucks a pack...

I've got some pics from 06 or maybe 07 of me at a KTM sponsored rally in the Ottawa region..2 day event..think I was the soul twin cylinder bike running the course...all others were on singles....I've got to dig those pictures one of these days...rode the bike there and back..after doing the rally.....I was a force of nature in my prime...lol.

Close to water @Pedro ...ive couldn't have jumped that river if I wanted to...with over 10 inches inches of suspension travel... 30 years ago....lol.

Figured I would pickup a few sympathy votes...lol...this has to be one of my greatest ploy to win BOTM...im sure if we would have let this play out until Friday...I'd have that thing in bag...lol.

Not no 2004...let me educate you , the 04 had the tallest seat height seen...a standard 950 from 2004 was taller than any S model built afterwards...only people like me and Fabrio could actually ride those things comfortably...it was ridiculously tall...

How much do you guys pay for a carton there...and a single pack at the corner store..?

Ah you mean the gay thing ....ya I've decided to come out of the closet..who knows it might encourage a few on here.....to do the same ..lol....you may refer to me now has they and them...I identify now has a lesbien from Pakistan..

Im not dying from lung cancer...far from it...

We kinda figured this was getting out of hand and some might find it distasteful...so...I've deceided to come clean..
