I have golfed all my life and never even came close to spending on golf vs what I spent on snowmobiling. Unless you golf at Whistling Straits every week, dork. Sled numbers peaked in the late 90’s early 2000’s with registrations in the Midwest at around 300,000 for each state. Today, each state is around 200,000, pretty significant drop. But dumb shit Zambozo believes it’s because of low T, good lord what an idiot. Hey dildo..maybe if you play hack ass municipal courses where anything under 100 is considered a winning score. And yes...low T and adrenaline loss have a lot to do with people getting out of any sport. Sorry you run low on those? Empty? Almost nothing is funnier than people that don't sled anymore trying to convince others the sport is flailing due to reasons they see fit. Reality is, you all need justification for quitting. It's weird. Why? Why is it hard to admit you just didn't enjoy it any longer? That low T thing? Retards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 My last two sleds I bought used .3k for the RMK and $3300 for the Nitro. Tons of nice used sleds that are affordable. If you have to keep up with the joneses, then yes,snowmobiling is expensive. None of my gear matches, my base layers are clothes I wear at work. I never understood why all of the gear has to match your sled,when nobody in the woods cares? Must be for picking up dudes in the bars? I’m not gay,so maybe that’s why I don’t get it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I envision you saying that with a snooty English accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted November 2, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 2, 2019 Granted I don't ride as much or like I used to but I still love the damn things...the numbers are legit...why argue and deny it?

I figure if I was starting for nothing and wanted new stuff to get into sledding, it would cost $15,000 or so, not including the tow vehicle, for a current 600cc machine.

Its right up the street, and I pass by it on the way to work every day. Rated one of the top 5 courses in the state, beautiful, billiard table greens etc. And thats what I’d probably spend to golf there. I have 15 or so friends already members. The two biggest issues are time, and I suck. Until I have more free time to play 2-3x a week and take some lessons, I can’t see the point.

DriftBusta Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don’t give a shit what the sled sales numbers are. I still love to ride, have plenty of people to ride with, and the bars and restaurants are busy every where we go. I spend money on good gear because I hate being cold or wet and you can actually sell a lot of used when you want to upgrade. On my 3rd Klim jacket and second set of bibs in 12 years. Good stuff lasts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
