Wait for my boss to call me, so i can plow roads, sand roads, put on and take off tire chains with a flashlight in my mouth and go sliding up and down hills that most people shouldn't be on. Oh, and watch all the STUPID people who get in our way do dumb things to slow us down. lol

Well, I don't have a snowmobile. Don't even know of anyplace that sells them. If it gets too cold to ride, I just wait for it to warm back up. Usually only takes a week or so. The temp hit 80 yesterday afternoon, probably get close today. I did have to scrape frost off my seat a couple mornings leaving work last week.

1. Ride the bike whenever possible, whenever the weather and temperatures cooperate.

2. clean and detail the bike

3. major upgrades / accessories (in my case, Stage 1 and other goodies)

4. Read through manuals and maintenance guides to better understand your ride.

5. change all the fluids out as something to do.

Sold my snowmobile in 2002, we have not seen a good winter for snowmobiles (western Wisconsin) since 1998. Now I just play Xbox or Playstation to pass the time. By the way that sled bed is a good idea, I used to have the coasters but had to pick up each ski and lift the track to slide under the rear.
