Indy, You've been riding long enough to experience the good days and the bad and it sure sounds like you had a bad one. The following is posted here on JohnDee.com, and I'm reminded of it each time I go out. Good Days on a Snowmobile give Happiness, Bad Days give Experience, Worst Days give...

Like most of us, if you have a chance to ride locally, you take it. I made a quick rip Sunday morning in Winnebago and Outagamie counties in Wisconsin. This would be west and north of Oshkosh and Appleton. The trails were mixed, some very nice and others early season. Surprisingly, much of the...

Day 3 / Feb 15 Today was a planned “rest” day for the 3 Old Guys—though, in reality, it felt more like a “play” day. They spent their time touring not one but two major snowmobile landmarks: the Snowmobile Hall of Fame and the International Snowmobile Hall of Fame. Yes, they are two distinct...

Day 1 / Feb 13, evening update The Guys had a smooth first day on the trail. Most of Day 1’s riding was on railroad grade. The Guys reported that there wasn’t a lot of snow, but there was enough snow. They met a groomer on the trail and took a moment to flag him down to express their gratitude...

Day 1 / Feb 13, 2025 And they’re on their way! The 3 Old Guys set off earlier this morning from Grand Rapids, Minnesota, heading east on their journey. Their first major stop is the Snowmobile Hall of Fame in St. Germain, Wisconsin, where they’ll spend the weekend celebrating the induction of...

My wife has one and I drive it occasionally. As you stated, a very smooth-running vehicle with the Boxer engine and CVT. No issues and no repairs thus far for us.

I know we have some CPA's on here as members so hopefully they'll have some answers. Here in Wisconsin, You Betcha they tax the dividends. Capital Gains too. Income, Pensions, Property, Dog License, the list is endless!

For those that don't follow Facebook, here's the first and hopefully many updates on their trek across North America in the coming days and weeks. The route?!?! One of the most common questions we’ve received is about the route that the 3 Old Guys intend to take on their expedition east. To...

"I did not watch it but lets be real, the intended target audience isn't going to be posting on JohnDee snowmobile site." Very true. But we are also considered as a part of "Fly-Over Country" by the national media. Frequently ignored up until a recent election which proved our sizeable numbers...

Thank you, that gave me my morning chuckle!
