Snowmobile fans
Okay, how many of you snowmobile on here? It's been probably 12 years since I done any. I picked me up an old Polaris 440 XCR liquid cooled sled at an Auction back in June. I know it's not big by todays standards but a pretty healthy one should run at or close to 100mph. Anyway this is one reason me and the last gf broke up cause I was spending more time than she liked messing with my sled. Anyway it will be an interesting balance this winter trying to push snow and get time in to ride my sled. Anyone else ride these? Most of my buddies have a sled so it should be a good time. Maybe we all will get to head up to Michagan and do some riding on the snow.

I had an 440Z Cat but sold it to get my first dump truck and haven't done anything with sleds sense. I miss it, I think about getting one every once and awhile but know better. You will probably get good use if enough buddies have one. Enjoy it for the winter though.

Get your GF a sled, My wife never thought she would like it, until we took a trip to the U.P. on the nice groomed trails, now she is hooked. The key for the ladies is to spend some money on good gear to keep them warm and a heated face shield. Expensive hobby, but nothing like running the lakes at 100 mph.
