That is a rookie mistake no matter what you ride. Having some cord or a tow strap is a good idea.

Ever used a snow bungee?

No, typically carry a ratchet strap with me. I don't ride in the powder that mountain guys do. But sounds like they work good.

My buddy has a zr 900with the diamond drive. That is what broke last year. He said a couple weeks ago he got replacement parts and would have it ready in a few days. I haven't even got mine out of the shed yet.

Nope no riding. My area lost most of the snow last weekend. Might get 3-6" of wet snow tonight, maybe more Wednesday-Thursday. Diamond drive eliminates the chain case. Cat used it for a few years

Aah. I am surprised you haven't been out at all this year.

Have you fired up your sled yet?
