    Biggest year in modern snowmobiling

    Whatever year they came out with the easy to pull, light weight enclosed aluminum trailer. Not only did it save having to stop at the car wash after every trip, it gave a place to store these ever growing sleds the 80% of the time we cant ride them.

    diesel fuel prices

    Ohhh big words. If you're so much smarter than me, why cant you tell when you're getting crop dusted? No one cares what you guys think. But judging by all the notifications I'm getting, you guys sure do care what I think. I have to go now, take a ride on my E-bike using the bike lanes and paths...

    diesel fuel prices

    Lol. Under my skin? Cute. Why would I get upset when I already know what the echo chamber will say. I seldom check in here anymore cause I can just watch Faux. I'm already bored so I'll tell you what will happen, your clever comebacks will quickly run out and turn to name calling. Either way...

    diesel fuel prices

    When "big electric" starts gouging the consumer (and they will) I'll call them on it. Look, before you start ass uming, like youz always do. Forty gallons of diesel for my delivery truck costs over 200 dollars out of my pocket. I cant charge that to my customers, they'll shop elsewhere. But the...

    diesel fuel prices

    None of Biden's energy plans are anywhere near fruition yet. So at least for now, this is all on the oil companies. Do a simple google search and you would know this.

    diesel fuel prices

    Why would big oil produce more oil while they're already making record billons, BILLION$! in profits. Look it up yourself in case your "news" machine failed to mention it. Maybe big oil will get around to drilling after they're finished lining their shareholders pockets to make up for what they...

    trailer shopping

    I cant help but notice how much trailer prices have skyrocketed. A few months ago, I bought a small aluminum trailer to move the motorcycles around. The price for that same trailer today went up over 30%. My son bought a new enclosed Hybrid trailer last winter, the price on that went up over...

    Milwaukee Snowmobile Show

    The venders I've talked to (that used to go to the shows) say people want deals. Seems people today go to the shows to try stuff for fit, then order it somewhere else online cheaper. Its no wonder the venders stopped coming. Imo if you find something that works grab it before its gone. Myself, I...

    2022 Yamaha models released March 9th

    Sorry ours is up north so I cant measure it. Maybe someone else can chime in. I heard rumors they may widen the ski stance and or add sway bars next year. My fear is they'll "refine" the fun right out of it. You know that guy that's always looking for jumps/bumps on the trail, always doing...

    2022 Yamaha models released March 9th

    Agreed. Our larger Catillac trail sleds are going on ten years old, with ten year old suspensions. We have no plans to replace them. But we have everyone of those small sleds you listed including a new Blast, with two new Blasts on order. And if you ever get a chance to ride on a Blast take it...

    Why We Snowmobile

    When I was young, and as our kids were growing up, snowmobiling was about spending time outdoors with the family. Then after our kids grew up, it was about riding with the guys, buying new machines every other year, watching scenery go by at ludicrous speed, and tallying up miles on an odometer...

    SW Wisconsin conditions

    Just got back from our place up north and conditions down here in Southern Wisconsin are epic in comparison. Even my wife's little snow gauge is getting a workout. :encouragement:

    Route 51 info please

    Did they ever repair/resurface that rough section of route 51 just south of US 8? It was almost comical how rough it was last year, until we saw someone had snapped off their snowmo trailer axles due to the beating. Leaving straight from work all summer, I've been using Route 45. But thats too...

    What's your long term forecast for the sport of snowmobiling 25-30 years from now?

    Over the last 40 years I've seen many changes, both good and bad. With all the recent threads about relevance of clubs etc, where do you see snowmobiling headed in the next 25-30 years? Does anyone even look that far ahead? I have my opinions, but I'd like to hear yours.
