Don't blame the messenger
I'm just stating the facts, if I was wealthy when I got involved in this Snow Hawk endeavor I would have bought up all the machines in existence at the time, thus continuing the 100 plus annual production, and creating urgency.
Just because they sat in unmotivated non enthusiastic dealers floors did not mean they sucked, no some lucky sob came along picked one up for a song putt the effort in, and found out how bichin they are.
I'm sure those three hundred by now folks watching the auction, a few of them at least hope to find that song of a deal still, well wish in one hand, and $h1t in another.
Hand guards are $35.00-$120.00 depending on brand.
