My 2 cents worth.
I agree with almost Everyone on here.
COVER YOUR ARSE!
If You can "afford" to snowmobile,....
You can "afford" Insurance!
Just Budget for it.
The opinion of "Not Feeding the Greedy and Controlling Ins. Industry" will
be long forgotten the first time your sled accidently darts in the path of
another, injuring or killing them. Everything You Have will be GONE.
All because you didn't want to "fork out" 250 to 300 bucks (spread throughout 12 months).
NOT WORTH THE RISK.
The First time in my 30 some years of "paying out" insurance premiums came in handy
back in New Years weekend of '06. My '05 Renegade "exploded" at the gas pumps,...
Thanks to my "reaction time" and a Speedy wife getting the stations fire extinguisher,...
I put out the sled fire AND the one at the pumps. (still gives me goosebumps thinking about how fast it all happened!).
The sled had just under 3grand on the odometer,...
All the wiring was Fried, but because I take good care of my stuff,... 900 bucks and 4 days later,.... I was on a Brand New '07.
I will Always cover what I drive.
Another thing to keep in mind when buying ANY vehicle,....
It isn't just the "sticker price" you need to consider,... But the cost of
Insurance, Maintenance, ect.,.... that's the TRUE cost.
They "Got Ya" coming OR going,.... Ahhhhhh,... the cost of having things.
So,.... like Snow Trail Mike always says: "There is NO Yellow line,...and the Right side is Mine"
For YOUR sake and MY FAMILY's,.... PLEASE carry insurance, Use common sense, drive carefully , and Enjoy MANY winters to come.
THINK * SNOW!
