Bill has owned many machines over the years, and was riding a 1997 Yamaha V-Max 700 when we started riding together many years ago. Shortly there after he traded up to his first 4 stroke Yamaha an RX-1. After many seasons and many miles riding the RX-1 Bill traded his machine in early 2011 on a new 2010 Yamaha Nytro X-TX. This sled like French's, features a 130 horse power, 1050cc 3 cylinder 4 stroke engine coupled to a 144x15x1.25" Camoplast Rip Saw track. The rear skid has a tipped up rail feature which translates into short track handling characteristics on hard pack, and the extra flotation of a long track in deep snow.

Bill has already started the modifications to his new ride with the installation of a new riser block for increased comfort for stand up riding. This was quickly followed by swapping the stock front bumper for a machine gun style Yamaha Accessory Bumper, and a set of Awesome Nytro Graphics.

In 2012 he swapped out the stock skis for a set of new Yamaha Tuner skis which feature a dual keel and a myriad of carbide options to tune the sled to your riding style. This greatly reduced darting which has plagued these sleds since they were first introduced. This year Bill also added a Tour Buddy auxiliary fuel tank to increase his range, and a set of ice scratchers, for cold icy trail days.
