They want it,don’t have the cash,and their bank won’t give a loan on the older sled. He calls me every spring when the trails go to shit. Tells me to look at their inventory on line and make him a cash offer on anything I’m interested in. It’s sad,a lot of people can’t do that,but they can walk in and finance a new one with a signature and 5 years of payments. that and the guys who can afford to go on trips and use there toys can just stroke a check and buy new and not have a worry . this is especaly true on mountian sleds can't give the fucking things away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 10, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Popularity of UTV's has had a large impact on sled sales. Most can't afford both sports and UTV riding areas are expanding every year. I know more than a dozen guys that have them that use to have sleds.

There's more sxs"s showing up on the trails here. We have road allowances that connect the trails and more municipalities are holding meetings to open up their areas as well.

My county just passed an ordinance approving ATV/UTV use on most county roads. Southeast Wisconsin its huge. Idiot's will likely fuck it up in short order as they think its and excuse to drink to excess and drive.

I was sitting having lunch in a small town up north in Michigan (wolverine) and there must have been 50 ATVs, UTVs and dirt bikes drive by right thru the middle of town and middle of the street. Most were booking, at least 40-50 mph. The speed limit there is 25. I’d like to see how long this lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
