I agree....People are only out for themselves.

I think the core group on this site know who they are. I have been on other websites and this is by far the best site for people that love the sport. The core group of posters are on here all year long and I appreciate their input and comments in the off season. Here you will find help if your sled is broke, great weather reports from our leader, great forums to engage in conversation, and a great place to meet friends and ride!!!!
"Demographics" of a snowmobiler...
Man-o-pause
A mental condition typically found in men in their early 40’s to late 50's brought on by the realization that old age is just around the corner. Symptoms include: frequent reminiscing about the “good ol’ days”, cranky judgmental attitude and a closed minded approach to anything new. Usually punctuated by the chronic need to play on a snowmobile and vote republican. The condition is difficult to cure and almost always progresses into old-timers disease.
Other symptoms include hatching plans for giving up his sales job, while taking all his savings to move to the U.P. and ride all day. He may have shaved his head, bought a snowmobile and acquired an 18-year old girlfriend?
If asked what's wrong, you will not be enlightened by his replies (remember the cranky judgmental attitude and close minded approach to anything new). He might say he doesn't know, or that he's just not satisfied with his life; now that the kids are grown he wants to toss the 6 passenger vehicle and buy a sports car, a snowmobile and a big truck and trailer to pull around. He doesn't know what's wrong, he just feels different, and only some big dramatic change can fix it.
If he would, or could, tell you what's wrong, you might be able to trace this odd behavior back to a time when he stood in front of a mirror and thought: "I'm 40 (or 45 or 55) and my time is limited. Eventually I'll die, but have I really lived? There are so many things I want to try, to do..." And he decides right there and then that he'll start, right now, he won't let another day slip by without catching up. The next thing you know, he's bought a hairpiece that looks like road kill on him, signed up at the gym, and bought a new snowmobile, truck and trailer.
And you wonder why we all can't get along...

Marty P,
Damn it, Marty, you've blown my cover! I didn't think the hair piece was that noticeable.
Thanks it did...
Snowmobilers are caring neighbors, they raised over $3 million for charity during the 2008-2009 season
Snowmobiling is great exercise that brings people outdoors to interact with nature and each other. It is an invigorating sport that is great for stress release and good mental health
Why can't we all just get along....

Do you remember where you ran it over? I'd like it back because my 18 year old girl friend gave it to me for Christmas and she thinks it cute.

Thanks Marty, you totally hit the nail on the head. Mano-pause really exsists according to our wives. Instead of the corvette I got the Harley.

LMFAO If any topic needs to be made a sticky it could be Marty P's answer to the topic and all would be done with this discussion.11. Approximately 88% of all active snowmobilers are male; 12% female.
With numbers like that any party will have some issues. Especially when the beer (snow) runs out.

Everyone thinks its bad now.......
What if the numbers were 88% female and %12 male. Imagine all the gossip, and cat fights, rumors, and broken fingernails that would be going on.
I like the sibling analogy. Guys just like messing with each other. Getting a rise out of others. The young "immature" guys like getting a rise out of the old "stuck in their ways" cranky guys. Big deal.
Hey now... not all the girls out there fit into this cliche.
