Oh man when I saw this one I was rolling. That shit is funny. Whats funnier is that Ive seen a vid of some tribal guy in forest somewhere who had Elephantiasis of the sack just like that. The poor bastard sat on his nut sack, to get up into is elevated hut someone else had to push his sack up. It was nasty.
I think it was a Band in America vid or one of those.

That episode was on last night. You gotta see the whole show.
KJ, do you have a Vmax snowmobile? I really doubt its the same motor but I do know snowmobiles are fast and fun as hell.

I watched it. No I used to have a Skidoo formula Z 680 with a ATS turbo and a 40 shot of n2o. I got rid of it when I began working around the state. Since my mom passes away and my dad quit riding. I really don't have the desire to get another one. All my friends like to go to the mountains, I was always the river rat and prefered the rivers over the mountains.

The Vmax snowmobiles were all 2 strokes, and came in 2, 3 and even a 4 cylinder variety. To date the Vmax4 is the only 4 cylinder 2 stroke snowmobile ever produced. Didn't sell real well, since it really wasn't much faster than the triples and chugged gas with a passion.
If you want a fast, fun snowmobile, look no further than the Yamaha 4 strokes. My '05 RX-Warrior is powered by a slightly altered R1 engine, rated at 145hp feeding a 136" track. On good snow conditions when it hooks up, its has nearly the pull as the Vmax. I've seen 128mph on the dream-o-meter, which is probably more like 115 actual. Plus it's pretty unanimous that Yamaha builds the best engines on the snow, they've been known to go 30k+, which is a LOT for a sled. Most 2-strokes need a rebuild by 10k, less if it's ridden hard.
I test rode a 2009 Apex last winter, which is still essentially a R1 engine, but now with FI and some more tweaks bringing it to 150hp. That thing was an absolute animal. As close to a Vmax for the snow as you can get. Rode the Cat turbo also, and really wasn't that impressed. Throttle response was boggy in the mid and high range, and the front suspension sucked ass. where the Yamaha has instant pull at any RPM. And for having a 25hp advantage, I still thought it was slower at least in acceleration.

As much as I would love to have a snowmobile here at my place its not that practical. I have seen em on CL around town though:confused2:.
I only rode em once when I was in 6th grade my Dad took me up to Montana for a ski trip and one of the days we went and rented some snowmobiles. Man what a day that was. I was 12 so the old man went and rented one from one place and then went to another to rent the other. I got busted in Yellowstone like 3-4 times by the Rangers, to young to ride in the park. They made my dad tow my ski, soon as they were outa sight off I went again. I saw 85mph when I was chasing him into a big left and got kinda freaked out so I let off just a little. Wow what a great day that was. I ended up smacking a tree at the end of the day trying to follow him threw some trees. :bang head::bang head:
I felt so bad I crashed it. He and the rental place just laughed, then when we went out for dinner that night he bought me my first Fillet Minion. :clapping:
I have good memories of snowmobiles.
