A New Toy On The Way

The best way to prevent heavy snowfalls is to purchase a snow mobil.

Is it a 4 stroke electric start?

No.

Last year I had the very same feelings that you do now. Living in a 4 mnths out of the year snow issue I went in search of a snow machine for something to do during this down time. I locked in on a 2007 or '08 Polaris 4 stroke electri start touring rig. I mean it was sweet and the price was perfect. Compared to the 2 stroke, the 4 stroke is the way to go in my limited opinion. As I always do after the research, the search and find and finances lined up I gave it one more hard look before pulling the trigger. I mean who needs a 3000$ toy sitting around...waste of money right. I ended up not pulling the trigger and its not a decision I am totally comfortable or uncomfortable with.

My reasons were how much time will I end up using it? This has been an unusual winter with lots of snow and cold. For the last decade and longer, snow in the winter had been fairly scarce comparitively speaking. People were not getting much use out of their rigs unless they drove upstate Maine. 2ndly its one thing getting stranded on a bike at least your on a road of some type. On a snow machine you could physically be stranded beyond cell towers and any humanity for miles in the middle of where the f*ck am I. A real fight for survival situation. And while I live in the country, have 12 acres in the middle of 1000 acres spending 3000$ just to toodle around locally didn't seem right. I do regret not picking up this little 120 cc 2 stroke skidoo for kids for my grand kids.

I guess for me it would be treated similar to a bike. I will use it for reasons to get out and just have fun. Man and machine.

I don't disagree with your reasoning not to get one, however our winter seasons are distinctly different. I have used the same logic for a long time now and it has just come to the time that I just do it.

Like bikes, I prefer performance over extreme comfort. That is why I chose a sled like the one I posted. Ahh. And yes, my oldest daughter would like to get into snowmobiles.

Minnesota...I heard about your winters....yeah you'll probably get alot more use out of yours. And like us here in NE you probably got trails going all the way to Canada too.

Back when the winters were more consistant and heavy you'd have snowmobilers all over town who'd come out of the woods for a beer and a sandwich as wooded trails would also lead to town access.

Ahh yes I remember the same things in my younger days. We still get that but not as much. Now most sleds are at eateries and bars that are located next to major highways. I am talking about that you would see close to 100 of them at any given time. My favorite place happened to close. Man we used to ride rivers and cross many lakes, easy we would put 200 miles on in a day.

I do think that I found two sleds that I am going ti attempt to pick up. 1 for my oldest daughter and one for Hot Rider. Mine will be purchased early next season.

Damn...I would embrace the snowmobile community like a 2nd family,lol.

Not really here. Winter is hanging on tightly. I found a really good deal on two of them so it will be hard to turn it down. The wife and oldest can have some fun.

Winter is hanging on here, too. Might snow today.

Supposed to be blizzard conditions with the possibility of more snow too. Then more on Sunday.
