    Time to "Fall Back" One Hour

    It's that time of year to set your clocks back one hour when you turn in on Saturday night. The good news is we'll gain an hour of sleep for one night and the days will continue getting shorter (less sunlight) for another month or so. Arizona and Hawaii are exempt. Most anything with a chip will...

    the Best/Scariest Halloween Movies

    There's been a lot of them, some funny, and some downright scare the bejesus out of you. I'd have to go with the Exorcist. Things I hadn't seen or heard before, and since.

    Your Pre-Season Checklist

    When you think about it, our trailers are out there in the worst of conditions. Salt, sand, road crud, slush & cold. It's a wonder they last as long as they do. A little TLC can mean the difference.

    Four stroke oil change

    I might have come across too harsh for those that make a living fitting square pegs in round holes. Society would look drastically different without the apptitude of our engineers. For us weekend mechanics, we may question as to why you put the little thing under the big thing and why the left...

    Four stroke oil change

    Unfortunately, most engineering doesn't give two :poop::poop: about the after market maintenance. I've always changed my own oil in all things except for my current pickup. Whereby the Oil Filter is behind the front left wheel and behind a flexible curtain attached with push pins. But before you...

    Your Pre-Season Checklist

    It's time again for some thought into the upcoming snowmobile season. We all want our machines and trailers to be ready when we are so let's share some thoughts and suggestions. I'll be riding my 4 Stroke Blizzard again this year and there's very little start-up maintenance required. Two or...

    Well, Now You Know....

    We're all familiar with the Budweiser Clydsdales and to a lesser extent, the Dalmation on each wagon. The present day purpose of the Budweiser Dalmatian is to serve as a companion and mascot for the Budweiser Clydesdales, a tradition that began in 1950. Originally, Dalmatians ran alongside...

Conditions in northern states are expected to be cooler and wetter.

    Chaparral vs John Deere: A Build-Off Challenge

    Looks like Mezz wins the six pack of Hamms. You know, if a guy kept his garage door closed, these things wouldn't keep following him home!

    Time for a New Helmet?

    I have a pair of Mods of recent years, so I'm good. Our helmets for the Spyder are another story. The liners are delaminating so we'll replace those in the spring. A lot of people simply upgrade for the new features.

    Time for a New Helmet?

    Most manufacturers recommend replacing your helmet every 5 years. Assuming yours has never been needed to save your noggin in an accident, what say you? Johnny Skeptical says.... Just a few scratches here and there. It finally fits just perfect. They're just trying to sell more helmets.

    Yeah, they must've had a heck of nice camera for that kind of definition back then. Oh, and someone asked me how I managed to hit a tree with that Olympic. Well, I was about the same age as the boy in the picture and as I recall the Ski Doo's back then liked to go straight..;..turning was open...
