Snowmobiles

[steemin]

I was starting to hijack another thread about snow skiing so I thought it best to start a new thread.

Just curious how many snowmobilers do we have out there?
What do you ride and where do you go to ride?
I ride an 04 Ski Doo 600 HO Rev Adrenalin.
Usually I go to the U.P. of Michigan to ride.
And every year I go with a group out to West Yellowstone for a few days :yes:

I'm a Polaris rider; one of my best friends is a dealer. :thumbsup:

I usually just pound the ditches around here and I love heading west to the mountains.

1923 Model T Ford with 20s vintage "Snow Bird" brand snowmobile kit attached. :unibrow:

The car is mine, but the conversion kit belongs to my Dad... The car stays a car now, and Dad has a '17/23/27 (assembled from spare parts) T sedan/pickup truck thing that the kit stays attached to year around.

No "modern" snowmobiles here... not in the budget :(

I ride an 05 Renegade 800 SkiDoo with black & blue color scheme & custom graphics to match my buddies company colors. He owns a aftermarket shock company (Motowoz) We did the sled up to use as a promo tool with custom piggyback shocks all around. www.motowoz.com

I ride in northern MN, Wisconsin around the Danbury area & we take a trip every year to the UP between xmas & new years...way up around copper harbor.

site is still under construction but the product is awesome. I am in the process of building my 68 Camaro, maybe will talk him into building shocks for my car as well. Quality on par with Penske...hot ticket for the ATV racers right now.

That's pretty cool, John. :thumbsup:

Here's my sled: http://groups.msn.com/GMsFbody/rybar.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=591

That's my wife with it not me. It's a 99 Yamaha VMax 500, I got a good deal on it, but barely use it. I use it for ice fishing and smaller trails. It's not really a big hill climber, but it's plenty fast.

I want a Ski-Doo Rev 800 but none of my buddies have sleds, so I barely ever go.

Cool to see you guys are into it, it's a TON of fun!

[907rs]

I ride Arctic Cat, Like to ride Turnagain pass, Cantwell, Lost Lake, Thompson pass, and Placer River valley. It doesn't really matter where you go up here, it's all good riding.

[steemin]

Okay we now have:
1 Ski Doo
1 Yamaha
1 Poloris
1 Artic Cat

Thats pretty balanced!

Derek..
That is wild. Very cool..
I have seen one of those on another site.
On second thought it had to be yours. How many could there be?

Rybar..
You live in Canada and you barely ever go snowmobiling?
None of your buddies have sleds?
Next thing you will be trying to tell us is that you don't care for hockey :eek:
By the way I love your color choice on the Camaro!!
Very nice..and unique...

Snow-mobile? Is that something you ride in the... snow?

Falls from the sky in winter, right?

I once knew about this "snow" that you speak of, when I lived in NY, but my memory of it is fading fast.

I do remember Frank Zappa saying something about not eating it, if it's yellow.

:D

Scott, that's the funny thing. We barely get any snow here in Vancouver, the climate is quite mild. I have to drive at least 2 hours to get into some good sledding territory. (hence the reason why my buddies don't have them) we get more use out our sea-doos and ski boats here in the summer months.

We don't all live in igloos up here, I am only about 2 hours north of Seattle WA. I do love hockey, but also love the NFL & F1.

BTW: is my website not working???

[Speedster]

Everytime I try to check out your pictures it sends me to
SanDiego Prestige Car Rentals :(

[Hooligan]

I spent 4 years in Alaska and never went snowmobiling

[XcYZ]

Cool, there are a lot more guys here into sleds that I would have guessed. :thumbsup:

Here are a few pics from the Togwotee area east of Jackson Hole. In the one pic you can see the Grand Tetons. It was a perfect day.

[XcYZ]

Here are a few from the Snowy Range, west of Laramie. We had some awesome powder on that trip.

[comp-spec]

XcYZ pics like is why we sled looks like u had a perfect day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steemin]

For those of you checking out this thread that have never been on a sled. You don't know what you are missing..
Its as much fun as you can have with your clothes on!
These new machines are rockets.
I often think to myself this should be illegal..
And the scenery is unbelievable.
One thing that most people will find hard to believe is that you never really get cold.
With the proper gear on you will not even feel the elements.
I find myself more often than not peeling off layers as I start to sweat when I am really getting after it :thumbsup:

[Derek69SS]

Damn, I think I've been out-done again :D

Charley, that is awesome :thumbsup: ...it would look better with a Model T radiator (to go with the 23-25 T style body) though.

I think I'm going to borrow that pic to post with mine as a "before and after" on the Model T forums :_paranoid

[clill]

Not mine. Someone posted it on another site...

A LARGE/loud number of spectators gathered around us and Loudly made it clear to the officials that they wanted to see the “Minnesota Guys” run their machine!
