Like this weekend and next for example. Awesome right now, will be shit next week starting Monday. Trails will be garbage once again by Thursday.

My friends that I’ve been riding with for 30 years turned into a bunch of drunks. Seems to be going from bar to bar is the new routine. The last couple winters has limited the adventures to mostly local loops. Getting closer to selling the cabin, but I’ll keep the sleds.

Tomas. Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I don't have anyone to ride with but my other half. Unfortunately this year she decided to fracture her knee cap and pull some ligaments in her arm just before there was enough snow to ride. So she hasn't and probably won't even be able to ride once this year. I had a buddy that was out here for a month and was supposed to be here for a lot longer but his life changed and he had to go back home to Ontario. So I have two sleds with maybe a combined 500 kms on them this year. Things are also starting to warm up considerably around here now. Probably just a fools spring but it has done quite a bit of damage to the snow. I have managed to convince my brother and sister in law's to come ride my sleds with me Saturday and Sunday. First time either of them have ever been on a snowmobile trail. Neither have ever owned a snowmobile in their lives. Should be interesting lol. But that is exactly why I drive older sleds. If they sit and don't get much use, it isn't a big deal. They won't really depreciate any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of $ to be tied up just sitting Sounds familiar. I sold a enclosed 4 place, 2 sleds and a 2002 F250 in 2006 for the same reasons. Kept 2 older/cheaper sleds at the cabin for years so we could ride some if we got decent snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayout Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I never understood that. If you have so much money wrapped up into sleds, why not do everything you can to go and ride regardless of where you live instead of waiting for the local trails to be ok when you can ride? I drive where ever, regardless of if I have rideable snow or not to ride with buddies. Shit I’d drive up to the iron range and the north shore every other weekend if snow isn’t good in WI.

f7ben Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Also sleds have been good for a decade now. You don’t have to have 25k in the garage to ride good iron. You can spend 5k in a sled and have 95% of what the new iron offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the people used to the bar stool seat low rider doos they sure feel weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
