I'm a Wisconsinite, born and bred. Did lots of snowmobiling as a kid, although back then I remember lots more snow than there is now.
My dad had a Colt 240 SS, funnest sled I have ever ridden (although admittedly I have not been on a lot of different sleds) but it died when I was a young age
. My grandparents owned matching John Deer sleds, don't remember which type but they had the engine where the tank belonged and were tipsy. At 15 I was able to piece together one of the Deers back together to give myself something to ride, but the sled only lasted a few years.I currently have gotten older and can afford sleds on my own, so I purchased 2 Polaris 2006 550SS. Followed 2 years later by an 05 600XCSP for myself and an 05 500 Classic for the wife
.When it comes to my stuff, I prefer to work on it myself as I prefer to know my stuff and how it's taken care of. There are things that I don't have the tools or experience to accomplish so I will reluctantly allow a professional to take care of it, but I try to keep that to a minimum!
