Throwback to when Polaris made the headlines in Hawaii (yes you read that correctly). "There they were: two snowmobiles on the beach at Waikiki. Puzzled onlookers watched as two drivers, attired in suits designed to keep them comfortable in 40-below weather, revved up the machines and took off...

So, how do you choose which one when you get there? And I wish I had that decision to make!

Day 12 / February 24 After making their way out of the more rural stretch this morning, the 3 Old Guys arrived in Roberval, Quebec, where they grabbed breakfast, fueled up, and took a quick reset before hitting the trail again. Their route wrapped around the southern side of Lac Saint-Jean...

I fully expect several "nuisance snows" and probably a storm or two. But as the low areas flood, we can hang it up for another year. I'm not happy about it but for some reason, this year I'm more accepting of another short season for riding. Coming up, the High School Tournaments and other...

Day 7 / Feb 19 The 3 Old Guys hit the trails early this morning, leaving the Clarke Motel in Eckerman, Michigan and making great time to DeTour Village. There, they caught the Drummond Island Ferry. Access to Drummond Island has always been by boat —whether by ancient canoe or today’s modern...

Only I would pick out the discrepancies. The caption on the photo reads "police" but the badges on their hats are different. One may have been a fireman. Notice the "parking brake". Lower right corner, sharp, pointed stick on a pivot hinge. I imagine, like a snowmobile, if it was idling too fast...
