'71 (I believe) Ski Roule R400 Just like the attached picture. Somewhere in the 8-9 year old range. I did so many laps around the lake on that thing I probably wore the ice out. Picking up a '94 Ski Doo Formula S from a neighbor to get my kids started. They are only 4 and 6 so for at least...

Does anyone know of a good engine/machine shop in the western burbs (Naperville/Plainfield/Aurora/Joliet area) that will bore and hone the cylinders for a Yamaha Superjet (2 stroke) for a decent price ($100 range for both cylinders)? Thanks, Scott

Will 3 15X" sleds fit? 2 forward, 1 backwards and between? It would be tight, but does anyone know if it can be done? I would think 3 standard length fit easily and probably 2 long tracks and one short would work, but can 3 long ones all fit or would it have to be the next size up which I...

You think you're tough. You're not. You've gotten soft and can no longer deliver punishing amounts of snow. If you really think you're tough, then bring it!!!!

I need to get a decent compression gauge for use in several different 2 strokes. Sleds, jetski's, etc...... I'm sure people can recommend some??

Ok heres the deal..... First this is an '08 M8, so mechanical reverse. Two weekends ago I used reverse and after going back into forward I don't know if I just didn't wait long enough or what but when I hit the gas I got a terrible grind. Nothing I could do but wait for the clutch to disengage...

I have been looking casually at capped 12' trailers. We always ride from our camp but I would like to have a trailer to go a little further and spend less time trail riding to get to riding spots. Triton seem like the lowest ones just by looking at pictures. I want to be able to put the...

Anyone else ever look at sled ads and notice TONS of them are the "wife's sled" which of course was written to imply that it has just been babied??? I really like when they are 700+ cc machines too. I read them and wonder how many are really the wife's sled and they are that only because the...

So darn cold the camera was having problems opening and closing, plus I never wanted to get the gloves off much. That and I never seem to get my camera out except to catch someone stuck or doing something dumb. Anyways here are the only 3 I took all weekend.

Got up to our camp to ride for a couple days this week (Wednesday/Thursday). Wednesday the snow was suprisingly nice considering the thaw was already starting. Thursday was sort of miserable with all the mist and warmth. Still great to get out though.

Looking very likely that I will be in the Yoop without any of my normal riding buddies over New Years weekend. This year is the 1 in 5 or so that my wife makes me go to Texas for Xmas but I will be back before New Years and likely heading straight up north. I stay at my families camp in Gwinn...

This weekend I nailed something and managed to put an approximately 2" X 2" hole in the plastic almost directly under the brake disc (no damage other than the plastic). I searched around on the internet and saw people talking about the heavy duty skid plate covering that area but could not find...

I am just putting this out there for others after having searched about the fit of a Klim helmet and not really liking what I had found. Your mileage may vary but below is my experience/opinion. I had read several places where people said they run small and to go up one size. I have 2...

It seems my Michigan registration stickers fell off sometime riding over the holidays. It was probably better than 50 degrees when I put them on on the lower corners of the pieces covering the clutch area on one side and brake area on the other on my M8. Well they either were stolen or both...

I am likely going to order one or the other soon. The closet place to my house that carrys Klim is probably 1.5 hours away so trying it on is tough. There are some attractive prices from a couple of places on leftover '09 helmets. They only have up to large. I have 2 different HJC helmets in...
