And came home with a big ass bumblebee. 2006 SkiDoo 800 MXZ with just over 3k on it. I have a few plans for it, but for now it’s going to get a good cleaning and I would like to polish the tunnel. I need a tunnel bag too if anyone has an extra. ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/1B4F7FD8-9F32-4AD0-A99D-8533638872BA-29673-0000149037639CD7.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/1B4F7FD8-9F32-4AD0-A99D-8533638872BA-29673-0000149037639CD7.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/56A571BA-311F-49CD-B6BE-5626C5FF1CD5-29673-00001490448C1C82.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/56A571BA-311F-49CD-B6BE-5626C5FF1CD5-29673-00001490448C1C82.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/03E5B7D5-CC7A-448F-80CC-5F0B480E5037-29673-000014905EE8472F.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/03E5B7D5-CC7A-448F-80CC-5F0B480E5037-29673-000014905EE8472F.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/48786EA3-40E4-4F3C-B138-8FAE98F6C549-29673-0000149066F71AEA.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/48786EA3-40E4-4F3C-B138-8FAE98F6C549-29673-0000149066F71AEA.jpg) ---

Awesome sled. Exactly what I’m considering upgrading to if we can just get a winter where I can actually justify it. ---

No trade, just a find through a high school buddy. Picked it up for $3,800 with a helmet, 2 bottles of amsoil and a cover. Adult owned and ridden and always stored in a garage. I think it was a great deal! ---

Nice ride, I rode a rev 800 the last 3 years, handled great and had plent of power, fuel consumption was quite high. Before you ride, check your reed boots and the PTO seal, these are common weakpoints and lead to engine failure. A good carb cleaning won’t hurt either. ---

Thanks for the advice! My mechanic is going to come check it out and do all necessary work to it before the snow flies. I think he’s actually coming tonight since I have it in my garage. ---

I thought about buying a few sleds to sell last year (I’m an automotive dealer). So glad I didn’t, it only snowed twice I would have gone broke! how has that affected the market considering it was a nationwide snow drought? ---

Market doesn’t seem that affected from what I’ve seen. Most of the sled guys I know are just saying “it was just a weird year, it will be back to normal this season”. I think if this season is bad the bottom will fall out on prices. ---

I think we will have a good year. It’s getting colder earlier this year already so thats a good sign. I wouldn’t have bought this sled if I didn’t think it was gonna happen. ---

Is there any logical thought behind what this winter will provide beyond “I think it will be a good year?” I am legitimately curious because winter is my favorite season and I truly hope it’s a good one. ---
