    Aluminum trailer care

    Also figured I’d mention, I used to own a 7x23 stealth. After 3 hard years of use by the previous owner, I did a complete overhaul, took the axles off and did new bearings brakes leafs hardware etc por 15’ed the axles etc. after just 3 years the frame where the axle bolts was was HEAVILY...

    Aluminum trailer care

    Like mentioned, preseason and postseason I take a latex glove and smear marine grease all over the axles and all around the mount area where the axle meets the frame, then spray fluid film in the nooks and crannies and all over the leafs/hardware/brakes. I take my trailer to a manual car wash...

    Club Rant

    On the quoted. Like I mentioned in the other thread, we’ve been hearing the same thing for the past 20-30 years. And, Like I said, 20-50 yr old guys don’t have the time, or inclusion in most clubs. Clubs tend to be ran by 55-75 yr old guys because kids are grown and out of the house, they’re...

    Trail signs - Poor examples

    And younger generations lack of time is just one thing that sucks in this equation… There are many clubs ran by older gentleman that push away younger generations ideas. I live in a town that had tripled in size in the last 20 years. I grew up here, and fell in love with the sport riding...

    Trail signs - Poor examples

    While I agree, the lack of youth is concerning, have to remember the same has been preached for the last 30 years, but it’s just part of the cycle of life and snowmobiling in general… snowmobile clubs are not attractive to 20-30 yr old riders. Most of them work a lot, and want to bar hop and...

    Snocross

    Snocross was at its peak back then. I was a massive Blair Morgan fan, still have a bunch of autographed posters. Crazy how much the sport has fallen off, I also believe offtrail/backcountry riding put a huge damper on it. Every kid/teenager back then wanted do be the next Blair Morgan or Tucker...

    Snocross

    Glad to see it in ER. Great memories going up there as a kid to watch. Also like the weekend they chose, many winters riding is done at that time and/or ending and will entice more people to come watch as they may not be able to ride.

    What is going on

    I guess I wasn’t making the argument directly based on “you should finance”. Between my 2 vehicles, 4 sleds, and trailer, they’re worth $105-110k, and I only owe $25k total on only two items in the entire bunch. I’m taking that as a win, especially before 30 years old. But, I 100% agree, cash is...
