    Rumored - Arctic Cat has been bought

    Couldn't agree more euphoric! This acquisition is so good for our sport as a whole. With all the rumors surrounding potential buyers for Arctic Cat this was the one I was hoping for the most.

    2026 skidoo

    I have zero experience with that track, funny it's what AC and Yamaha put on the Riot and XTX from the factory. Bad choice for sure. Like hermie said, I installed a new ice arrowhead on my 18 last off season. I put just shy of 2,000 miles on that track this year, it performed really well in...

    2026 skidoo

    Ice Ripper is the worst track for high horsepower sleds, on the Sidewinder platforms you be lucky to get past 2,500 miles before shredding lugs. Very well documented on TY, one recently shared photos at 1,000 miles and 9 lugs missing to the cords.

    One more ride?

    WOW what a trip we had, one for the memory books for sure. We had some great riding, and I put 414 miles on the new 2025 Sidewinder. The weather was the big event over the time we spent UP North. Arrived on Saturday evening with light snow/freezing rain mix which turned to all snow by Sunday...

    One more ride?

    Yep, you bet, headed North this Saturday to finish off the year. Riding Sunday, Monday and half day on Tuesday. Timing couldn't be any better for an end of the season ride with a potential winter storm to drop a foot of fresh snow. Too make it even better, on my way UP I'm picking up a new 2025...

    The annual 24-25 how many miles thread!

    Have done this loop more than a few times, some of the best riding you will ever experience. Although it gets kinda boring from Hearst over to Cochrane thru Kapaskasing and down to Timmins.....big wide and long straight trails...Sidewinder country for sure. Its been a decade since we have been...

    Pat's Motorsports

    Just want to send out a BIG thank you to Kip and crew. Everyone knows just what a quality dealer means to the powersports community, but it just can't be said enough. Started my trip this past Sunday to a code that left my sled dead (stator), it would not start. One of my riding buddies sled was...

    NS1 guage....

    Over on Totallyamaha there are a number of guys with the NS1 gauge, I don't and have zero experience with one. There is currently a thread regarding getting answers to some questions and updates to the gauge and it sounds like they might not be in business anymore. No responses to emails and...

    Winters back, back again!

    Both the Euro and GFS look good for snow fall, but I'm no meteorologist. I'll wait for the NWS to post storm warnings then I'll get excited.
