I love the sled, it is a great trail sled. Its got speed and handling and it gets great gas mileage which is a plus. We mostly ride anywhere from Indian river north with pellston being where we usually jump on the trail. Ocassionally we will go south of Indian river toward gaylord or trailer them to the UP.

Most of my riding is done on the east side of the state, from Sand lake to Alpena and Oscoda (where my cabin is) to I-75 for the last 10yrs since buying my cabin. We also try to do 2 trips to the UP each season. Prior to that we rode the Gaylord area including Lewiston Lakes of the north and Jordan valley. We had a lot of fun however the speedsters and excess traffic chased us away. The east side of the state has less then half the amount of sleders due to lower snow levels and not close to I-75 so people dont make the drive over by us. A lot safer and great for familys and kids. My daughter, son-inlaw and grandkids along with our son have very good times off the beaten path :)

I'm interested in seeing what others have done as far as graphics or accessories on their IQ's.

I got a new one this year, was going to leave it black & add chrome accessories.  Then I met Nathan & Dan at Image Authentics in Kimball (near Port Huron). 

I changed my mind!!  I just wanted to show you what they did for me. 

When there isn't snow--we drive Ford New Holland tractors--so I decided to combine our 2 worlds.  :cool:

They can do ANYTHING for you there--great guys to work with!!

Show me pics of your rides--I'm always looking for new ideas.

Nice viper, my dad had one, those things seriously come to life with pipes on them, but you lose gas economy.
