Ride anything else during the winter?
How many on here, ( Soufers keep the warm climate comments to yourself ), Do some snowmobiling during the winter? I rode for years and also worked part time for a friend at a Yamaha Dealership so we rode all the new sleds at the time.
Have had a real itch to get back on one the last few years but can't get over the prices these days. I will probably rent one this winter just to get out or maybe buy an older used sled like we used to ride.
I still remember the rep coming in and pointing to an R-1 sport bike and saying how that motor would be nice in a sled.. And we all just laughed. Now they are almost all four strokes.
How times have changed.

That was my addiction before I got back into fishing. The cost broken down by the days I could actually ride was just too much to accept. Even with an older paid for sled, between insurance, reg, club, oil, fuel and lodging because I had to tow to find good snow most times. I'd get our maybe 7 days a year. We still have our sleds so we beat around in the fields with the kids when it snows. It's a rich mans game, so maybe once kids are grown and I'm looking to burn cash I'll get back into it with the new sleds with that insane suspension.

when i lived in Ill I had my polaris and my ditch pickle. Ditch bangin and dodging fire hydrants sure was fun.

Had Scorpions growing up in IL. When I lived in Colorado I would just rent them and get the insurance against any breakage/accidents, that way I didn't have to trailer them up the mountains. I think the newer ones, while better machines to ride, are butt ugly compared to the ones from the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

Tough to find a decent used Yamaha Phazer for the kids to ride. Used to be able to pick them up for a couple hundred easy. Either too much $$ or too far away.... Although it's probably just as well. No snow around here yet.. Which is good with me..
