    Black Friday gear sales?

    Unfortunately it seems like Black Friday deals get worse every year in the snowmobile industry. But, fortunately, I live right by the dealer who has the best deals year around in the country on gear (kens sports)

    Awesome news Kip! You guys deserve it, wish I could pop in more than once a year, your dealership is always a pleasure to visit!

    Speaking of past members

    Miss a lot of those guys! I feel like we’re missing quite a few still. Cuzzinolaf and firecatguy used to post a lot as well. Many of them mentioned, I do know have gotten out of snowmobiling, hence the reason for not seeing them on the board. Although I’m only 27, I’ve already been on this board...

    Waning Demand?

    Asking mid teens for a sled with 3k miles and actually selling it are 2 different things. Whether I’m actively buying or not I’m always looking at used sleds for sale, there was no such thing as a “good deal” last winter. This year so far there’s quite a few decent deals, and they sell fast...

    Waning Demand?

    Used Sled prices are down compared to last year that’s a fact. Problem is good deals are gone in 2 seconds.

    Polaris Sled Recall...230,000 units

    My 2016 Pro RMK is affected by the recall. I have ridden the sled in 6 states. It has touched almost every tree between Twin Lakes and South Range without an issue. It has been rolled over getting it unstuck 3,562 times. Still, no issues… When the $#1+ show calms down and my dealer can get me...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Agree 100%. The bigger problem with the situation though that I’ve been following closely is the false hope and the constant lying by Mr. Skinner & Co… Tells you what you want to hear to make you hopeful, tells you what needs to happen to make this work, and every time the club has offered a...

    Amber Alert!

    Absolutely not. Justin Fields college team 2 years ago would beat the current Bears.

    Milwaukee Snowmobile USA Show

    The cost of the venue for vendors is the main reason it started pushing them away years ago. The wide open power sports show has been growing every year, due to the low cost for vendors to get space. I haven’t been to it yet but hope to one day (coaching football on saturdays puts a damper on...

    Riding 2-up on a renegade w/1+1 seat-comfortable?

    Hey everyone, sold my trail ripper a couple years ago. Last couple years I’ve been riding my 2000 Polaris Touring 600 when I trail ride, whether I have the not so little man on the back or not. I would say he’s with me 2/3 of the time. He is a big 9 yr old (almost 10) at 5’2” 140-145 lbs plus...

    Amber Alert!

    This time, I agree with ya! All off-season we heard how good this packers defense was going to be on paper, they forgot to mention it was toilet paper!

    Electric vehicle

    I think we can all agree, we could live without ethanol in our gasoline, but can’t live without water in our bodies… poor comparison

    Electric vehicle

    I said this 10 pages ago. Walk into the parking lot at my workplace, the average vehicle is worth under $10k. I would also say the average person at my workplace makes $60k, which is a good paying income for the area I live in. How are these average Joes supposed to all of a sudden be able to...

    Rising fuel costs hinder planned trips?

    Absolutely it will affect me! Hotel prices since covid have gone crazy, add in $4 premium... Gets tough to fill up a truck, 2 sleds, fill 3 belly’s, and pay for the hotel when you have financial responsibilities at home too… If fuel prices don’t go back down I may consider ditching my long...

    Electric vehicle

    Grub, so you’re saying if you spend big money on a home charging system (something that doesn’t come with the vehicle, and will become outdated and obsolete in no time with a different version/model) or find a specific type of public charging station, it will charge fast. Still doesn’t sound...

    Electric vehicle

    Does the F-150 Lightning come with a charge cord? The Ford F-150 Lightning includes the 30A Mobile Power Cord, which allows you to charge from a traditional 120V or a 240V outlet. The F-150 Lightning with extended-range battery includes the 80A Ford Charge Station Pro as charging equipment...

    How is it insulting? Isn’t that everyone’s life goal? You should be happy to fit into that category! The comment is absolutely relevant when majority of Americans are the opposite of retired and live crazy busy lives! Most Americans don’t have time to wait hours for their car to charge, period...
