Building a new engine for our upcoming circle track season.

but thing is you dont need a 10k-15k-20k sled to ride . Im lucky now I can afford more expensive sleds. But like I said I rode years with Guys with newer more expensive faster sleds and never had a problem keeping pace and getting the ride in. Too me its like boating, some Guys spend $200k ....the Guy in the $10k boat can get to the same spot most of the time if he has a reliable unit.

Celebrities - pay no attention to them. ZERO.

Here's to hoping Argo pulls the trigger and makes it work. We need Cat in the business to keep Polaris and Ski-Doo on their toes. And, keep a few of my die-hard Cat buddies happy!

with the exception of my current sled, which is my first and only sled I ever bought new, in the 50 years I have rode sleds I have always bought low milage used sleds, me and my buddies would chase snow if needed but most have got out of the sport or moved to warmer climates, both my sleds and trailer are paid for and are not costing me anything but insurance and registration, I have seen winters worse than this in all those years and have been mostly able to ride from home, the last few years have been challenging and I am at a point if it snows I'll ride but I am not up to chasing it anymore without my buddies and I am not going to throw in the towel after a few bad years either I have a lot of skin in the game with all the club work I have done over the many years to keep this sport alive

Maybe not dead, but definitely on life support. Really sad to see. Can’t ignore the biggest factor of short seasons with no rideable snow. Almost mid January and a total of 3” so far. Back in the late seventies snowmobiles were like lawn mowers, everyone had one. They were cheap, easy to work on, indestructible, and you could throw open your garage and ride. Even the resurgence in the 90’s with better suspension, faster, more dependable, having 2-3 sleds was in reach of most families. Now owning a sled around here with no trailer, truck, is as useless as having a jet ski or boat with no trailer or lake to use it.

What a difference 48 hours can make. Not much cover so making a skating rink 2 nights ago Then got dumped on, this is the same spot with Grandson moving up from his ZR120 to try out a Bravo with Dad

Monday in Grand Marais

I'm hearing the latest prostate exam did not yield promising results.

Time to sandblast the rockers and underside......

Got rid of a bunch of shit to make room to get a new/old 3rd vehicle in the garage.

I rode on a budget for years with cheap $2500 sleds . I believe weather is the main problem unfortunately

Tug Hill . Sledder’s paradise

Menan butte Idaho looking north at the St Anthony sand dunes. Looking East at The Teton range. Was up replacing a microwave radio.

Agree 100% Our ability to ride locally has always been about a 50/50 chance, and our primary riding is in northern Wisconsin. Whether it's my buddy's cabin, or my brother-in-law's place, those have always been our go-to spots. We still do at least 1 or 2 trips to the U.P. as well, and even that isn't THAT expensive when you split costs with buddies. I wouldn't own sleds if I was 100% dependent on local riding every year, and certainly wouldn't own the latest and greatest if that was the situation.

I guess I don't understand why people are so against chasing the snow these days. I know it's expensive but if you buy a cheaper sled that leaves money for trips. No point in having the latest and greatest in the garage and no money to ride it. I'm lucky to be living in the 1 of the best places in wi for snow and can ride right from home, but It's not as much fun as the trips we used to take.

It was about the people I was riding with. Had as much fun riding our older sleds as we did riding new ones. You can have the best sled on the market, but how much fun is it riding by yourself.

Where was this technology when I married the Bitch 40 years ago?

Finally got some (around 6") snow the last couple days so it was time to get the 340 out.

another stellar day at tug hill. not crazy with traffic, 20f , some sun. trails had fresh on top of hard flat base. we had 130 miles of goodness on a nice winter day. actually passed last years mileage , on jan 11th. hope it goes on. we had a great day and the clubs did the usual great job . some of our secret dead enders were mint. finally got the quality up to 1440 60fps . turn up the quality if it isn't already

At first I thought you were talking about NASCAR. It died at least 10 years ago.
