Text Box: His story begins a long time ago. He was a broken soul, a pitiful fool, reeling from the effects of a shattered life, who spent most of his waking hours staring into space. Then came the phone call. Sometime in April of ‘94. Polaris Industries was in the beginning of their latest “Snow-Check” scheme and his friend Tom (who will be discussed later) had the fever. It was time to rid himself of the tired Ol’ ‘84 Trail Indy he had ridden the slides off of, as well as the ‘78 Arctic Cat jacket and make something of himself. He didn’t have the money, but dammit… neither did anyone else that was plunkin’ down $200 to hold a sled till fall. SuperX, a 1995 XLT SKS was delivered in the late fall of 1994. What a machine. 594 cc’s of powerband music producing muscle. Black metalflake hood with purple accent stripes that created Text Box: what could be the greatest paint and graphics scheme of all time (snowmobiles only). Then came the gear. The HeinGericke design Polaris jacket with its assymetrical design and signature purple (its not pink dammit) sleeve. SuperDave was born. He was the package. SuperDave rode with the Sauk-boys snowmobile gang for a couple winters, rippin’ up trails, bustin’ drifts, and even made a trip or two out west. SuperX, while he was always at the ready, was revamped and reworked over the first couple years. Piped, clutched, adorned with plastic skis, SuperX was a consistent performer until his last trip to the mountains. Most of SuperDave’s gang, outfitted with Communicator 900’s, could hear in their earpieces that something was Text Box: wrong. SuperX was not hi-marking like he had so many times in his glory days. Stock EFI’s were beating him to the top and it became evident that the demise of SuperDave would soon follow. Oh sure, over the next few years SuperDave tweaked SuperX, adjusted his carbs, replaced his plugs, gave him new hyfax, but SuperX was not the same. He made no more trips west (or north) and was only seen being shuttled from storage shed to garage and back. Then, in the spring of 2005, while SuperDave was waiting on the delivery of his 2005 RKC Harley Davidson, he began work on an ambitious rebuilding program for SuperX. Maybe this new top-end would be what SuperDave needed to spring from retirement and relive the glory days. But alas, now it is SuperDave that can no longer answer the bell. It seems the myth has been broken. Text Box: Who was SuperDave?
