Nice score. Those can be worth some scratch to the right guy. My ol man (pictured) was tickled to get his vintage Boa-Ski suite a few years back. He still wears it to snowmobile shows and what not =)

Yep, every year I think I'm done with em, till that first snow hits and I'm in the shop with freezing bloody knuckles trying to get the ol smoker alive again. My motorized roots are in snowmobiles, guess it's a bug that don't bite everyone
 
I held on to an old Polaris TX for almost 5 years after we moved to South Carolina. Spent more time on grass then snow. Sold it to a cousin with tears. :'(
 
Rode one around Alaska. Only memory I have of it, was being f'not colder than I have ever been in my life. That includes falling through a frozen pond.
 
I may have to start a snowmobile thread haha. And yep, if your not dressed right it can be a super miserable experience =/
 
If it has all the heated crap and its like a major cruiser sled I might... I would go to the sled bar then call a taxi haah!
 
My only experience on a sled is damn near running a Mach Z 1000 through the shop door, from inside the shop.

I'll stick to bikes.

My friends who still live in Fairbanks own a couple of showmachines as well as motorcycles and they won't even start the engines if there isn't somewhere between two and three feet of snow on the ground. Even that much is pretty much considered "test snow" and nothing they'd really ride on for any distance. They mostly truck/trailer out into the wild and ride for hours on deep, deep, deep snow. If you ever get the chance, check out the Alaska Iron Man competition when it's televised. Wild stuff.
 
I spent a few months up there. Stayed in Fairbanks, traveled all over. Roads just kind of stop outside of Fairbanks. The coolest thing, was the dog sleds. Those are awesome.
 
Never rode a snowmobile either................even when I lived up in Delaware, back when it used to snow a lot.

Plenty of sled time on the side of a hill that ended at the river.

So if you went too far............................as I only did once or twice.
 
Won a nice hand tooled 4" K frame holster for my 1955 problem is mine is 6.5" so I need to get another or see if anyone here likes it as much or more than me?

Ive done bikes. snowmobiles and jetski's and the one i love the most is the one i dont have to spend 30m setting up a trailer for. especially in the cold snow or half freezing in a lake.
 
I could never justify the ridiculous price a jet-ski costs.

When I lived in Tampa, the accountant for Sea-Do rented a slip from me to keep his. He got two brand new, top of the line skis every year fo free. He got to keep them under my house for free, so long as I had keys.

Loved being able to walk out and hop on those things any time.
