    If it rains today....

    It depends on your personal view I believe clubs do a very good job preparing and maintaining trails which includes keeping landowners happy which can get dicey at times with riders straying off marked trails. In my view clubs will open trails when we have enough snow and frankly I’m not...

    If it rains today....

    Not at the risk of pissing off any landowner wait until enough base so riders don’t tear up winter wheat. People come people go that’s the way of things. As I said find some frozen water with snow lube scratch the itch locally then hit the road chase the snow. Sure we all prefer local riding but...

    If it rains today....

    You don’t buy a WI permit for a county you buy it for the entire state. Sometimes you get the luxury of local trail riding sometimes you don’t. Fox river was very rideable for probably a month so there was riding in Racine county. Take what you can get.

    Another accident

    Head ons or tbones are a joke no protection just flimsy metal and bent plastic someone will definitely get hurt. Slide swipes you stand a chance glance off hope for the best.

I go where the snow is and enjoyed every ride ,every bar grill is happy to see us some burgers and fries , draft beer are unbelievably inexpensive in the sticks of WI. All I...

    Polaris 2023

    No idea what’s going on with Poo 4s just what they tell us. Obviously Yamaha asked Polaris if they wanted an Oem relationship and there was no interest. Believe me they all talk look for opportunities especially Yamaha. I guess I see the Poo 900 as a 4s start no one knows how committed they are...

    Holy Vilas Traffic!

    Why is Vilas so crowded? Imo always has been crowded. Is it lack of snow south , end of Covid or more snowmobiles joining the sport? What’s up?

    Polaris 2023

    Yes I do remember the Weber glow in the dark fst and all the recalls and updates. I thought that experience is why Polaris didn’t continue their 4s development plus they said the 4s market was unsustainable. In their view anyway ,I thought you needed 4s and 2s to compete and it now appears...

    NEW 2023 DOO PRICES ETC.

    Eps does isolate the rider from a lot of front end vibration becomes effortless point and shoot sleds especially on big mile days. I’m surprised all 4s OEMs don’t use it on 4s sleds especially doo since they sell so many 4s. Eps worth every penny!

    Polaris 2023

    I’m very happy Poo has FINALLY entered the 4s market! In the past Poo factory reps didn’t even want to talk 4s so I wrote them off from consideration. Unfortunately with weight numbers close to 600lbs for 90hp it again doesn’t seem like a competitive design. I’ll be watching see what Polaris...

    NEW 2023 DOO PRICES ETC.

    Supply and demand. If production of new snowmobiles is less then less used low mile units available as people keep what they have. This is happening with everything. Try shopping for a lazy boy recliner can’t get parts so prices high and 4-7 month lead times. Crazy but the way of the world. Lol

    NEW 2023 DOO PRICES ETC.

    If doo is smart they would make eps backward compatible sell a whole bunch good service revenue for dealers. That and make it a new option those that demo eps will definitely want it.

    stay on your side of the trail

    I get what you are saying but confronting other riders on the trail gets hot quick. One can influence his pack but I don’t think it’s a good idea to try and tell others how and where to ride unless it’s your land. Been there done that and it escalates quickly. Just sharing my experience on the...

    NEW 2023 DOO PRICES ETC.

    I wouldn’t do that! Look at trailer prices not going down. You will have to pay the higher prices to get back in. If you want out now would be the time. Cars , trucks, boats , real estate ain’t going down anytime soon. Only thing that can bring prices down would be to get inflation under control...
