My first one was a Ski-doo 640 Nordic that plowed its way down the trail, then on to John Deere 440 Trailfires, then to arctic cat jag and cougar. Now my little ones ride an arctic cat kitty cat. I ride in northern Illinois all the way thru Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I also have visited and rode Yellowstone national park. At 49 years old I can’t believe the difference in suspension systems and ride comfort that I have seen in the 35 years of riding. Happy Trails, Danny ------------- Danny Raddatz |

my last sled was 98 Polaris indy sprt 440. havent owned one in quite some time now. no body will let the trails cross their land and we dont get enough snow to last long enough for it to be worth it anymore. last I road I rented one in Maine, NOW THAT WAS FUN. but expensive.Brian S ------------- God made man.Sam colt made man equal. |

For being allis fans. we all should be running AC arctic cats after all they are the only ones that come in orange, mines black and green but that orange does look good on the snow, maybe my next one.

I used to have an AC Jag, then a couple yamahas , Enticer , & a Phazer. My sons now have Artic Cats. My Grand sons Raced Kitty Kats , AC 120, & a kitty kat mod. They did very well , but just got too expensive to keep up for just a back yard mechanic. Brendon (oldest grand son) was the KC pro east champion. in 2007. they outlawed orange sleds, so had to paint his 120 black. I'm more of a tractor man so I had to keep the artic cat name going, with a grass cat.

Northern Wisconsin is great for snowmobling along with the Michigan U.P. This year we need snow. My family started with 2 1970 Ski-doos. One was a 399 and the other one was smaller. Advanced to a 1991 Polaris 500. Sold it this year for $1000 and bought a 2009 Ski-doo 600 E-tech. (Big bucks spent). It rides like and dream compared to the first Ski-doos. Speed-o goes to 200. To old to go over 40 mph now. The new suspension systems are great. I can ride all day and not get a sore back. Trails are great up here. Come for a ride this winter. |

I've been rideing for 40 years. Mostly Ski-Doo's with few Polaris. Started with a used Olympic 320. Riding old technology now. Last new one's were 2000 Ski-Doo Formula Deluxe 600 (wife) and same but 700 for me. 700 is always better on fuel. Buddies my age quit, wood stove is warmer every winter but trail is half mile away with big grooming equipment, and we have an active private club house with 30 members 2 miles away. Good social time. Bought trail permits again this year but we lost our snow over the weekend. Should get them started soon or it will be too late again. One never left the yard last year. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |
