    Eastern UP help

    So I am unfamiliar with anything west of Republic and trail 5. For fuel Republic is unreliable. There is a small town 3 miles south on roads to a Ace or Tru Value that has fuel. Otherwise north of Republic towards 8 no more than 20 miles there will be fuel options. If you take 5 to 32 to Gwinn...

    Electric Snowmobile

    Did the EV auto thread go away with the new Website? I was hoping to post my now 1 year costs for those interested.

    Closed helmets and prescription glasses.

    Retired my mod 2 2 years ago as the foam wore out and duct tape wrapped in screen spline just wasn’t helping 13 years was a good run!) Picked up a mod 3 and it works fine. Vivity are the ones I put on order.

    Closed helmets and prescription glasses.

    Intrigued! I have surgery scheduled for the end of the month and decided on the very expensive newer multifocal (astig correction lens). To the OP, I have been using the Brp Mod helmets since 2006. Works great getting glasses on and off and isolating mask. In severe cold the outlets can ice up.

    Klim or Castle heated gloves

    Draws 0.7amp (I suspect on “high” it has that draw but I have never put it above 1/2). Never had an issue with 3 sleds and 10 years. Just replaced my 10 battery on the back up sled as it was a 10 year old battery and it could struggle to start my four stroke.

    Klim or Castle heated gloves

    Are we talking “First Gear”? I have had my First Gear glove liners for 10 years now and do not ride without. In this time I have worn out gloves, but not the liners… Battery gloves will be trash once the glove part wears. 12v glove liners (look at motorcycle stores for them) should outlast...

    Electric Snowmobile

    Journalists and politicians will wake up once it becomes apparent. Then save us all from what we created. Lithium mining isn’t a big issue, right?

    Happy Birthday UP

    Interesting facts about 1 UP family. The Cohodas brothers. These Jewish brothers immigrated to the US in the early 1900’s from Russia. They landed in Chicago and migrated north to Menomonee then onto central UP (ultimately Marquette). These young men started selling fruit as that is what their...

    My snow buddies give me grief as my attire is a collection of different brands I have owned over the years…

    Happy Birthday UP

    From what I have understood many considered Toledo and northern Ohio to be in Michigan and in DC they swapped the UP for Ohio to get Toledo.

    Correct, yah-you-bet-cha! Great guy and I always stuff some $s in the old acetylene tank. Hanging out there drying off with my son is one of my last memories of our only ride together.
