    Ratchet straps

    Make sure they're threaded properly. I bought some awhile ago, same problem. Took a closer look and they were threaded wrong from the supplier. China? Probably so, but they make damn fine balloons!

    Parking for a Cause

    Outstanding. I wish the media covered stories like this rather than only the death and destruction of snowmobiling. Keeper Movin, Kip!

    Comparing BRP Helmets

    Just for grins and giggles, I looked up the Mission Helmet on Dennis Kirk and couldn't find a one. Went to the CKX website and the prices listed range from 489 to 699. Add another 5% for sales tax. Don't get me wrong, these are nice helmets but they should be!

    Comparing BRP Helmets

    On a recent trip I was able to compare a pair of helmets. One, the new BRP Exome and their Modular 3 side by side. I alternated helmets for most of a day and the following is what I found. Helmets have come a long way since the days of the old Two Striper. Dental Care has improved also, but I...

    Pictures and Conditions from Price County

    I'm not familiar with Trap & Fish and Katden4 is current on the others. Phillips may be the most Snowmobile Friendly town I've been to. I forgot to mention above, I paid $3.47 for unleaded at the local stations.

    Epic GPS fail? Or just plain stupidity…

    I think in the past, the truckers were usually the better drivers out there but I don't think that's the case any longer. Like everywhere else, new hires are hard to come by and by the looks of things they'll take anybody they can get.

    Pictures and Conditions from Price County

    Just back from a couple of days in Price County. Went up on Friday morning with some of the worst road conditions in a long time. Too many in the ditch to count, some went straight in, some were upside down, and I saw one trailer that was torn in half. Not sure how that happened. Hope they all...

    Interesting Observation

    I always stop, at the very least slow down. If they give you the thumbs up, keep'er movin' I'm not sure what normal is anymore. I know I "identify" as a snowmobiler. I'm married to the Female Gender. I belong to a club, pay my dues, license, permits, etc. I think I'm what used to be "normal"...

    Thawing out a sled?

    Originally posted by Bayfly I actually totaled out a 2013 Arctic Cat XF1100 Turbo with an ice chunk that formed from riding through slush the night before. It ruined the heat exchanger, ripped the track, and damaged the tunnel. I never thought that much about it before, but learned the hard way.
