Sold all my sleds on Ebay..... Had to do it really..... Haven't been able to take them out for the last 2 winters.... Kind of chocked me up a bit getting rid of my toys....
Jef, I sold the 800 "Widow Maker" to a guy that lives north of Chicago... He drove up last Sunday to pick it up.... It's heading to WO for the winter....
Now all I've got left is the tractor.... [shrug]
sprry to hear that bro...
That sucks... I wish I had money and a wife that wasn't anti-sled.
She's put her foot down about very little, and that's one of them. Never really understood it. I think it's 'cause her ex had one, or something.

Fixed.
I know that took some serious fortitude on your part Skinny, when I let my motorcycle go it stung for a few days, but we do what we have to, its the following irony thats hard to deal with, this winter will probably be a record breaker.
After I sold my bike we had some of the best riding weather ever! Oh Well! Sorry man, I know you didn't want to do that!
Your right on that Ryan!!! I know we'll get our ass kicked with snow this winter, no doubt!!!!!
Things come and go..... I can always get another sled if I want to.....
True, but you'll only ever have two thumbs...
...and one ass. Go figure.
WTF...That was your favourite thing to do in the Winter.
I can't fathom you're having financial difficulties.
I can only believe you're having physical problems preventing you from riding.
I ended up selling my $800 bicycle because I can't ride it anymore after shattering my collar bone into six pieces a couple years ago. When I ride my arm goes numb. Now I set off airport metal detectors from all the metal used to rebuild my collar bone.
Buy a 4x4 quad. Ride it year round.
Buy a coffin and prepare for the inevitable [/cold]
There's nothing physically wrong with me..... It's more the cost of fuel to ride them & haul them.... Last time I took a UP trip was in 2005..... I spent $500 just in gas, not counting the room & food... That was when gas was $2.25....
That's one thing, the other is my son & Greg that we ride with.... My son has his hands full raising my granddaughters and he has trouble getting time off work on the job he's on... Greg has gone bankrupt losing his engineering job in the auto industry in Detroit.... He's lost his house & everything really.... He's bring up his 2 sleds & covered trailed so we can sell them on Ebay like we sold my sleds.... Then he's heading to Russia to start over again....
For me, I hated to see the sleds go!!!! I also hated to have them sitting in the garage 3 years without being started but once or twice a year... Too good of sleds to just go on getting neglected.... So reluctantly, I bit the bullet & let the sleds go.... At least I'll know someone is riding them now.... It just won't be me.... [shrug]
I've been attached to toys like that before as well. One was a Bombardier Valmont 1973 i beleive, very rare, it's the 2 track and one front sky type, excellent for hauling lumber out of the bush.
Now i'm attached to my 5 cats.
He's not sold them... he just traded them for this little number

haha!
Well, not having your sleds will mean that you won't trip and break a thumb while walking out to see them.

He should walk with you - now that would be one hell of a target.

Good evening dirty hippie.
In Liverpool, you'll never walk alone.
Hope this helps.

Instead of 5 money trees, would you be willing to trade for the contents of this mystery box?
What reassurances can you offer about said box?
it's a mystery.
It's oozing a little. Plus, when you shake it, it sounds a little like a Lance Armstrong testicle rattling around.
...*trembles in excitement*...
It's a deal.
..*Takes the Multiple Thread Bastage.*..
..*Gives Wingding the box containing his coveted Coors-covered walnut.*..
..*Runs home to put the award in his molestation-proof vault.*..
...*weeps in misery as coveted Coors-covered walnut is revealed*...
