    A Day for the Dogs

    I adopted this 7 year old about 2 months ago and she’s been a great companion. One of her favorite hobbies is shedding, she is always with me! Took her a couple weeks to really learn to swim and now she loves the lake. She also loves her nightly walks and does not let you forget them. She’s...

    Find time to ride, lower our expectations, and enjoy it!

    Here's what you get for riding in less than stellar conditions.......would do it again any day of the week! It was the access road riding that got me! Was cutting into ski a little bit but nothing too bad. Slapped a new pair on, shimmed up my skis and ready to go.

    2016 Ski Doo Renegade 800 X

    I have been tossing around the idea of getting a newer sled for quite some time. I found a real nice 2016 renegade X with low miles on it. I currently ride a 2012 F800 just a couple miles short of 8,000 miles. My Cat has been nothing but a joy to ride with very little maintenance and zero...

    Digital antennas

    Anyone have any experience with a digital antenna? I have tried some basic ones from Menards but I live a good 70 miles from Chicago, about 60 miles from Bloomington and Peoria. I didnt have much luck with those. I'm tired of paying for TV, I did use an "altered firestick" before and did like...

    New Sled Advice for crossover sled

    I currently ride a F800 with a 129 track. I ride mainly trails but really enjoy unplowed logging roads and some off trail riding. I am looking into upgrading sleds this off season and would like to get a 137 track. So, I am looking for a crossover sled with good trail capabilities and be...

    Minocqua to Hayward (Chippewa Flowage)

    This year we are going to ride from Minocqua over to the Chippewa Flowage. We have out rooms booked at Deerfoot lodge. I know there are several ways to ride over, hitting Park Falls and riding Tuscobia Trail would be fastest. How long would that take? Also looking at a northern route, maybe...

    How even preseason football ranks!

    Just to put into perspective on how much football means to TV viewing audience. Remember, the Hall of Fame game is a preseason, means absolutely nothing, starters don't play game! "The NFL remains the undisputed king of American television. Last night’s Hall of Fame Game drew a 6.9 overnight...

    arctic cat smart valves (fuel intakes)

    I know this should be under tech area but I wanted more views since its more time sensitive. My 03 F7 will idle great but starts to miss when engaging from time to time. Once it gets going it runs great. Compression is good. I drained tank and cleaned fuel intakes and it ran great after that...

    Healing power of Dogs

    Knowing that a lot of fellow john-deer's are big dog lovers I though I would share this article. A team of golden retrievers made an 800-mile journey from the Chicago area to Newtown, Conn to help with therapy needs of children and adults alike. I could barely hold back tears after a father...

    Glove recommendation

    Im looking for a new pair of gloves this year. I want a pair with little insulation, or none, on the palm with 100-150g insulation, or more, on the back. I feel this gives me the best grip on the handlebars, not that I am a off trail or very aggressive rider. I am hoping that the gloves could...

    Summarizing that didn't get done!!!*#@

    I just found out that the guy who was supposed to summarize my 2003 F7 did not do the job. After all the BS excuses he just didn't do it. Is there anything I should do before I start riding this winter. Man I am steamed! I just should have done it myself, lesson learned!
