Damn at least it was a good outcome!!maybe install a kill switch tether on the dog..a few years back i fixed a old chapparal snowmobile and my buddy was test riding it.well the handle bars snapped off pulling the throttle cables full throttle and my buddy hopped off and watched the sled go into the woods at 75mph then heard a explosion as it smacked a tree.sled was beyond totaled.it hit so hard it popped both sparkplugs out of the cylinders and broke the cylinder bolts clean off.my bud would of been dead if he took that ride!
Does the SnowDog have a kill switch? ( turns off if you fall off kind of thing?)
You should write a book about your stories/ escapades......
So other than the snow dog running loose with all your gear, how do you like that machine. Been looking at them and think they are a good solution. So beyond put the kill switch tether on before starting up, any other pros n cons you have to report on the snowdog? I really like the idea of not having a trailer to try to park n turnaround, probably get a hitch hauler when I get one. Do you have reverse? I hear that is worth the extra $. Thanks for the report, glad it all turned, pun intended, out ok.
It's not very nice to laugh at the misfortunes of others but it sure seems to be human nature. I know I laughed. It brings to mind the old YouTube video of the guy sweeping up in the elephant enclosure and loses track of the fact that he's right behind the elephant when she decides to have a squat and suddenly gets the guy's head jammed up her butt shoulder deep. He's pounding on her backside trying to get her sphincter to let go which she finally does but not for 7-8 seconds. Pretty funny but I'm glad it was him and not me. When some misfortune falls to my lot I try to ask myself, "is this worse than having my head stuck up an elephant's butt?" So far, the answer has always been "no". May you find that's also the case with the runaway Snowdog.
