If I'm paying income tax on the truck, I should be able to use it 24/7 as I need too, not just for work correct?
Catching up on what ya'll been up too and thought I could help on this.
My truck is 100% business. All repairs, fuel and maintence are a benifit. To help ensure no issues come tax time, I run a daily Milage log.
Is she in your name as in, your company name as a depreciating assett?
SK is probably slightly diff than MB, but if it's being paid by your personal company, depreciating in value, the tax gains are benificial come tax time!!

No prob Cowboy!!

121 Phazer is fun. Little low on top end "Speed". Deeper powder you really have to ride it.
My 144", AWESOME. Got 4056Kms on it in three months before the snow abruptly ended. Again, Not the greatest top end wise. Rode with Vipers, Nytro's and a bunch of other High end sleds and NOTHING owned the long tracker Trail or ditch wise. Just the right amount of power to the "snow" without a huge momentum killing trench behind ya. Straights and races well she tops out at 125kms/hr. Ended up selling the Fox shocks (tried them again on the 2014 but no good), sold the stock 14's and put my 07 FX piggy backs on giving me back the confidence for jumps and performance in the trails. Along with dual 6" stud boy carbides (tuner skis) and the Hindle full exhaust I have absolutely no plans on spending another 6-8 Grand on 30-40 more KM/H. Spent some time learning how to tune the clutch but spent most of the time just riding and enjoying northern MB and western ON this season!!
To sum it up and answer, they are super fun and cheep to run. I will add, you have to get a few miles on to get used to the ergonomics of the sled and what most call Tippy. That's the biggest complaint I hear. 4 seasons worth and 17,000kms of riding them i've never crashed. Tipped once with kids on it (3 of us) but it was the low speed and snowbank that gave away. Hit road approaches flat out, land stable. WOT corner to corner in 1 way trails. The 144 seriously pulls hard outa corners. At the end of the day, the Phazer is a riders sled. She'll run WOT all day, everyday!!

Morning Fellas. A crisp +7 out there this am. Chicks are huddling. I like these moderate temps, low - mid 20's in the day, nice and cool at night, great for comfortable sleeping.

Hope everyone has a great day, the weekend is on its way once again!!!
