    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    I always preferred the 140 hp niche my sweet spot 2s or 4s. That used to be the 700 2s hp with all the OEMs offering only 800 / 850 165hp+ then dropping to 600 at 125ish Hp. 4s turbos went off the charts 165 -180 to 200 hp which I just don’t need for trail riding. Imo 140-150 hp 2s or 4s is all...

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    My enduro 900t 150 gets well over 20 mpg in eco only use eco for stand up or low speed riding under 50 easy riding. Most of the time I’m in standard only use sport for high speed UP grades. Imo it depends on how you ride and what modes used. I didn’t think I would use the different modes at all...

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Just buy the 850 better bang for the $ and resale value than a 600. You can ride the 850 like a 600 what’s the difference?

    Retirement Scenario

    If you are seriously ill or can’t drive the WI Northwoods is no place for you definitely a consideration. Health insurance companies charge you more due to unfavorable outcomes in Vilas County. Sad but true the statistics tell the story. I had countless GPs in 16 years in Vilas mainly because...

    The Last of the Yamaha's

    Really not much choice for 4s sleds if you are anti yamacat only Doo has a fleet of performance 4s sleds in their lineup. 2025 Yamacats are a tug on my heart strings just for eps but I just don’t ride enough miles to warrant the purchase. Yamaha eps ruined me for 4s sleds without eps plus I have...

    The Last of the Yamaha's

    Will anybody care 30 years from now? Probably not other than it has Yamaha graphics. It’s the last of the Yamaha production run doesn’t matter the manufacturing location no one will care. These ain’t for ridin these are collector sleds. Imo.

    Retirement Scenario

    Before Covid Vilas was forecast to shrink in population so far the Covid refugees stayed mainly due to work from home jobs. Locals still leave for job opportunities retail , hotel restaurants aren’t the careers they want so go mostly to the Fox Cities for manufacturing positions with mainstream...

    TIME TO CALL IT ?

    Clubs pulled trail markers weeks ago in SE WI ground and lakes are thawed so any big snowstorm would be useless for snowmobiling and snow play in these conditions. Probably won’t happen anyway but useless at the end of March. Lifts and Piers going in now think Spring and Summer activities better...

    TIME TO CALL IT ?

    Yeah Paul I don’t get it either … maybe it’s a rental sled thing send out the fleet if possible with these warm temps and high solar angles roads wouldn’t stay covered more than a day which would include pit stops and gas stations. Or just plain wishful thinking to support snomo biz to the...
