    I knew that was making fun. 

    I looked into that recently. Was trying to find a cheaper way to fund the Kids career. But it didn't make sense to me at the time. 

    Now he is going Flight school in the fall and I don't really want to own a plane. 

    Mine got accepted at Seneca.  Not mine or mom's first choice, but we both know he will love it and will be good at it.

    For some the restriction they face is more time related than cost. There seems to be a correlation between the amount of leisure time one has available and what they are willing to spend to maximize that limited leisure time enjoyment. When you want maximum enjoyment in a small window of time cost may not be a concern.

    With limited leisure time one may find they change activities every now and then. One of the very large boats in Midland, 50' range is for sale. The owner with limited leisure time has decided boating has run it's course for him and it's time for a change. He is going to buy an airplane and go flying this year.

     

    Thats been the case for me.  Now I'm offloading as much as I can to have more time.

    I just want a name...i rented from backcountry...you gave me a few more names when i was looking....they all specifally stated the damage policy...

    Id like the name @revkevsdi....i wouldnt mind doing business with them if thats how they operate. :lol:

    If the trails did not get pooched we would have needed one.  I'm sure the others would be interested in what @revkevsdi guys are doing if true.

    i think you would be surprised,  sure it's as much as anything a service to sell rooms but at 250-300 a day on a machine that doesn't depreciate badly they are making money after 10 rental days and at a place like northern outdoors i would bet they get 20+ days per machine.   

    Most don't offer high end sleds and they do get great rates for Barney sleds.  Most who rent are first timers and just want to ride out and back, a couple hours at most.  Not high risk.  Would like to see the numbers.

    People will spend whatever for fun.  Some even own airplanes...lol

    Just checked, I've owned too many snowmobiles, most of mine were purchased new; however, I bought my first new Doo in 1997, Formula 500, for 4272.00 out the door....my last Doo was a 2010 GSX 1200 that was 12300 out the door. ....between my wife and I we used to buy a brand new Doo every year since 97 until 2010.......number just keep sliding to the the right every year...as do fuel prices.   

     

     

    Got a strange feeling I might end up buying one of those in the next few years.

    yup i would guess thats self insured.  Most of these guys running rental fleets can patch the sled back together on the cheap and keep renting it and lets face the fact the average 600 or 900 ace renters not sending it like larry enticer it's typically a minor bump or rollover where the $500 covers it.  When i put maryann on her roof at a fairly decent clip it only cost me under 400 in parts as doo makes everything so modular.  Most expensive pieces were the side panel which i could not find a red one used and the glovebox exension which were $220 between them  

     

    I've also seen a few totaled, over 7k.

    Ive pretty much contacted everysled rental place in Ontario when i was looking to rent...post up the name where you rented. I will call them. 

    He knows that.  The reason he won't.

    Are you saying you haven’t been able to find the rental places in Ontario that offer insurance?  

    Not the main guys around me.  Did you read the fine print?

    That doesn't mean they couldn't self insure by offering a wavier agreement. That's probably what Northern Outdoors in ME is doing. 

    I guess they can do what they want but the rentals aren't likely an income generator for them.

    Yes it is. But if I had answered that then you and the rest of the Trumpsters would have known I was right immediately. 

    Look at all the fun you had pretending you knew what you were talking about, calling me a liar etc. 

     

    Its a chance to redeem yourself.  Good if you can.

    usually not done 3 weeks in a row. 22k one year. worth 10 the next. no thanks

    So buy a one year old for 10 then or wait for winter to be over.  Really sledding or any powersport isn't financially worth it.

    22k. And people wonder why the sport is dying. So lets see. 22k divided by the number of weeks the trails are open in Muskoka = $7300  a week. Money well spent.

    Our trips to the Bahamas and Banff both cost over 10k, that was for a week.  I'll take owning that overpriced sled anyday.:lol:

    No. I was checking out the revy site to see if insurance was different there.  I also checked out a few other Ontario sites. It  depends on the place you rent from. Some have 2,500.00 deductible. Some you can pay $35.00 per day and drop it to $1,000.00 deductible. Others you agree to pay for all damages. 

    You’d have to be a stupid fucker to do that.  Dave and Zambo fit the bill perfectly.  

    Its a simple question.  Who did you rent from?

    You dumb fuckers can’t read. I said $500.00 at any one time. I’ve been lucky but I do know how to ride and I’m not a alcoholic who drinks and rides. I won’t ride with people who drink and ride. They ride too slow, always stopping for a piss break every 15 minutes. or they crash. I guess it’s ok if you are just hanging out on a lake, talking tough and sinking sleds into little water holes. But if you really ride then it doesn’t work out. 

    Dumbfucks can’t even read a one paragraph post for content.  What chance would you have with a rental contract. 

    Fire, theft and collision were covered with a $2,500.00 deductible. 

    I'm saying you're full of it.  

    You rented a sled in Revy?  Sounds like you don't know the difference between a damage deposite and insurance.

    What in the fuck kind of beta cuck faggot has never done $500 damage to a fucking sled in their life????

    Good god .....you'd have to ride like a complete fucking pussy to have never left a trail and folded up a front end or something like that. Fucking pussy probably tools around at 22mph giving hand signs to all he passes and pulls off his helmet at trail stops with his chest puffed out like he just won the race :lol: 

    This.

    Yup...they dinged me 2gs on my cc for damage deposit....that has nothing to do with deductible for collision. You pay for all the damages...All the other places I was going to rent from had the same rental agreement....the damage deposit varied.

    Thats why I asked who he rented from.

    Fucking idiot doesn't even know what he's agreeing to.

    looks like I may have to fly out to rev .

    must be a CA law

    They have to provide liability insurance.  Collision is different and would certainly not be included in any standard rate rental.

    Weird because fire, theft and collision was included up to $2,500.00 deductible. But hey you guys know better. 

    How many miles/km have you put on this year?  How are those Parry Sound trails looking this weekend?

    I have 3 sleds all permitted, insured and I'm snowchecking a 4th this year.  I did not do enough miles to be happy for this season, but I could always trailer north unlike you.  I don't look at sleds or powersports as assets but rather as a lifestyle and entertainment.  Rather than looking at sleds depreciating, you never look at how investments sucking wind cause that is likely costing you a ton more.
