Umm Fans are like air conditioner? And fixing means that you was a handy guy a manipulator with this Fans or you was actually in charge with the montage of it?

So you did a hard job, which is also good payed in Ro , but man, I mean I heard Sweden is rich as fuck, but 1000 euros in 3 weeks..and considering you are a rookie in the field of work, that s fuckin amazing. Think that the average payment in Ro is 170-200 euros /month and try figure it out how we living

Been thinking of getting one again, but the gasoline-prices are so ridiculous for a machine that takes 20-30l /100km. Especially now since my parents wouldn't be giving me money for it :D

Great stuff, have to borrow grandads Polaris at some point I think...

Maxed our Wildcat 110-120 mph, still so ridiculous that I was allowed to take it for rides, was 13-14 yo back then.
▼
Weslann 27 Dec 2012, 18:26
Yea i know, lucky i dont have to pay anything for the gasoline :D

Damn thats fast, i maxed mine and got up to 175 km/h(108 mp/h) but yea, gets hard to hang on in that speed

It was unstable as hell, one of image: 15366d1294837712-89-92-artic-cat-wild-cat-163035_1618602477755_1617207175_1369556_1854688_n-1-, front weighs like hell and back has no function at all :)

Weslann 27 Dec 2012, 18:30
Oh that one is old, getting those in the air is almost impossible lol
Parent

Thomm 27 Dec 2012, 18:32
Yea, -90 or -91 model, the 700cc model though. But it did jump if you wanted to, it just broke your back when coming down.

Me & brother had our own 250 Lynx, mounted with 377 rotax, that was the beast :) Family had some newer ones later too, Arctic Cats for some reason.

Weslann 27 Dec 2012, 21:18
Nice, i dont really see any problem with the older 1s except that the front weights so much and yea, they get old ^^
You dont like Arctic Cat?
Parent

Thomm 27 Dec 2012, 21:27
Yea, I did, but that was just for colors and them not being reindeer-herders machines :) But they are usually more expensive to maintain & drive.

Nice sled, looks like 1 of those who only goes on a track? or can you ride in powder with it?
Parent
▼
AlienWare 28 Dec 2012, 14:16
You can ride it on powder also, but mostly it's for making ski tracks. We are getting new one also soon something like that : image: 2010_YAMAHA_NYTRO
