    On the board

    About 2" today. Had to run the sled around the neighborhood just to be sure it was running good. Racked up about 2.5 miles total. LOL! What's everyone else got on so far this season?

    Truck loading ramp

    Ready to chase. Ended up buying a ramp, this way I can load the sled into the bed without the platform if need be. 2X8's so the ramp slides right under (as you can see). Gotta get some guides onto the platform and should be good to go. Not as sexy as an enclosed trailer, but I'll be loving...

    Truck loading ramp

    Money tight, giving serious consideration to delaying the enclosed trailer for a yr so I have the funds to chase (and better mpg to boot!). Been watching a few loading ramps on ebay, just wondering if anyone has or has used one they thought was good (or bad). Thanks.

    Trailer TYPE advice needed

    Sold the 6X12 cargo hauler tonight, looking to get a new (used) trailer. Not looking for advice on "brand" but rather type (or style). Hoping for another covered, but the 8X12's are like gold. Coming to the realization that the only covered trailers in my range are tilt, so trying to pick my...

    Worlds worst gift wrapper?

    Classic guy move here, waited till the last minute to get all the gifts wrapped for the wfe. I was just down in the basement thinking I could possibly be the worst ever at wrapping gifts. Even the "square" boxes tend to give me problems. I didn't even bother wrapping until the past few years...

    Pulling a cargo trailer in high winds and ice

    I nearly $hit myself yesterday when I went out in the weather for the first time pulling my 6X12 enclosed cargo trailer (6ft tall) with my sled snugled safely inside. Winds were howling at around 40-50 mph and the road was completely iced over. My speed was a whopping 15. When I looked back...

    Whats your desktop picture?

    Last years trip to the Black Hills. Every single day I stare at this and wonder what is beyond that bend behind us (we were on trail sleds, so couldn't find out). I'm finding out for sure this year since I've got the RMK now!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

    Is this a problem or normal?

    Not a tech expert by any means, so hoping for a little help here. My 2008 600 RMK tends to have a small puddle of oil under it after I run it for a while (dripping from the exhaust). It's not a lot, so it could be completely normal, but thought I better get it figured out before the snow flies...

    Quick question for MN members

    Would appreciate any suggestions... Heading up to Bloomington with the family for the long w/e. Hoping to get a little "me" time in at a couple Polaris dealers and/ or other good spots in the area to do some looking around. Mostly looking for clothing, etc but always looking for other gear...

    Top 10 items on (or off) the trail

    Getting set for the season (will it ever get here?). Can I get the top 10-15 items you carry on your sled at all times (besides avalanche gear and food/ water). Already started my list, but wonder what I'm missing? Thanks.

    Best You Tube Videos

    I'm getting pretty desperate for powder. Maybe I'm the only one, but I've resorted to watching You Tube videos. Hoping to start a good thread here of the best of the best you've seen (mines of an avalanche, so obviously not stictly powder. There all good in my book). I've found sooooo many...

    Where are the 12 ft trailers???

    What's with there not being any 12ft trailers for sale on the used market? Starting to get pretty frustrated - tons of 10ft, but no 12's (even worse if you want a capped 12). If I do happen to find one, it's sold before I even make the call. If you have a decent 12 ft drive on/ drive off for...

    Buying a sled in the off season

    First purchase is coming in the next few months (used). Need some advice on how to "test drive" a sled when you can't even ride it? How do you confirm it runs good, shifts good, etc, etc, etc? It's a huge deal for me to make this purchase, so I want to make sure I get something that won't have...

    The Dukes Of Hazzard......

    This is the best I can do on short notice. LOL! Last year I had a weekend to kill in Nashville, TN so I thought I would re-live some memories from my childhood @ "Cooter's Garage". It is actually owned by Cooter himself!!! Kind of a cool place to visit, not a "major" tourist attraction, but...

    Advice needed: CFI vs. Carb

    I need some quick advice here on fuel injection vs. carbed. I found the absolute perfect sled I've been searching for at a really good price (2008 RMK 600 w/ 144 - 700 miles). I was planning to go pick it up tomorrow, got the money out of the bank and everything, but just talked to the guy and...
