SO does everyone have their snowmobiles ready. I got an old John Deere Spitfire all rebuilt just as the temps started to hit the 40's in March. I have a really itchy thumb that is just achin to squeese that fun flipper on that little old 340... Its more fun to ride them my 06 Crossfire, ok probably not, but it is a blast.

Most guys in Maine who ride on snow call them "studs". People who ride on ice call them "picks". I have heard many Canadians refer to them as "nails". If I'm not mistaken, the Minnesota stud ban was initiated due to damage on their paved hiking/biking trails, which we do not have in Maine. The roads up north here are so bad that you will actually do more damage to your sled, than to the road you are crossing

Mike, you are correct. They are still banned on those types of trails, mostly around the twin cities, if memory serves me correctly.
BTW, for those who don't know, "studs" get a bad wrap as being destructive, and its just like everything else, its how you ride as opposed to whether you have them or not. Yes, they work great for traction and dramatically improve your hole shot, but most importantly they are indespensible in assisting in emergency stops. |

Just got a new fuel tank for the old 377 Safari, now I have to find the time to install it. We rode it maybe once last year and I really heard about it from our daughter. She loves the thing, she's such a speed freak at 6. I think studs are still ok here in Maryland, they're permitted on road vehicles registered in our county. Of course our county is also the only one in the state where a snowmobile will actually see some regular use. I think a buddy of mine still has studs on one of his sleds.

Sorry for the absence from the site, too much going on here....Labor Day boat rush is over and time for my life to slow down...........
I would have guessed wrong on the "purpose" of the "landing strip for for inbound waterfowl" After their long winter retreat into the warm southern climate,they need assistance in landing their rather heavy frame.Damn Yankees think of everything. Do these have landing lights also..... |

I bet it is in mint condition just like your boats Pete. Oh yeah and original to boot. That crossing had me stumped but Billy's explanation makes sense. |
