Sweet new Ice Ride
« on: Oct 14, 2010, 10:18 AM »
Love my Frabil DLX but with everything in it, it was difficult at times to pull out onto the ice. 

Fixed it!

I started looking at these about a week or so ago.  I showed my wife a bunch of ATV pics on the computer.   Then I showed her the 500 and the 550 and asked her which she liked better.  She said "I like that one(the 550), it makes me think of a tiger because it looks like it has stripes".  Ohhh Kaaaay. So then I showed her that one in both red and green and asked her which color she liked better and she said "Green".  That was pretty much that and we didn't talk about it again until I pulled into the driveway with it on the trailer yesterday after work.

Now for some reason she seemed a bit shocked and taken aback.  I then politely reminded her that she said I could have one (no means no, but not saying anything means yes) and not only that... I told here that she even picked it out, including the color.  I mean you can't argue with that.

I'm sure glad I have a TV and foldout in the basement.

Awesome new ride buddy ! Don't worriy too much, You'll get out of the dungeon someday, someone has to take care of the Honey to do list !  ;D Just kiddin MA ! You might want to look into some runners for the bottom of your Frabill,  with a machine like that towing it, it won't take too long to chew up the bottom of it ! This is what I did to mine.

Are those the purchased runners or did you fab up something yourself?  It looks good.

Thanks

Nothing to say sorry about, I don't like AC myself.
I do have a Polaris snowmobile that I really like
