Hello there, I actually own two cats lol, my xf800 and a f570 for the Mrs. That's my buddies skidoo in the pic, he really likes his brp too, he actually just bought a summit. I think I will be switching over to skidoo when the time comes, I'm not too happy with cats customer service lately....

Did you have any trouble with your 05 to reach so many miles??

None. That 600 is stone reliable. Couple years ago it started eating belts. The secondary I think was starting to hang up and not open as soon or as much so primary was squeezing the belt and destroying them. I bought a low mileage newer design one and has been good. Plus picked up more performance.

I probably average 1500 miles a year. I bought the 05 as a trade in April 05. It had 1100 miles on it then. 06 sucked, no snow, only put on 160 miles that whole season. 13 started out bad, probably only had 200-300 on it, then bought the 09 mid February and put 1100 or 1200 or more on that. The wife can use the 05 now

I'm hoping Mother Nature is good to us sledders this winter, I just started a new schedule this summer where I actually get full weekends off, hoping to get a few overnight rides in. My old schedule caused me to miss out on a lot of rides. My luck this winter will be like your 06 season lol

If you look at a road map of Vermont, find the capital city of Montpelier, go about 20 miles east on route 302 you will find my little town of orange. I typically ride north and northeast of there but also south some. I can ride to work which is in Berlin which is the town next to Montpelier. I'll post a link to the snowmobile map later
