I may be in the market for a new helmet this year. A guy was telling me about oxygen helmets. Any thoughts?

I’ve been eyeing a new helmet that’s been out of stock in my size for quite awhile and was hoping to find it at HayDays. It just got restocked, do I risk it and wait till HayDays and hope to find it and maybe marked down or do I just buy it today at full price? There’s also only 5 in stock

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to ride. Now that I'm an adult, I can pay for it and I want to start this winter.

Are the Castle branded items good?

My cranks case seals went bad and am going about replacing them, and I can’t get the primary clutch off the engine. I’ve tried the water and Teflon tape trick and ripped some threads off of the retaining bolt, and I’ve made my own clutch puller but still no luck does anyone know of a clutch puller that fits my sled or have any other tips on how to get the fucker off.

Last winter I banged my knee up pretty good and had to end my season earlier than anticipated and with my 30th birthday not too far around the corner I figured I should start to look into protecting myself a little more. What are people using when going into the back country as far as knee, elbow or shoulder protection. Are the higher end knee braces worth the price or will a pair of knee pads from the hardware store be enough for you. I have seen pads that mount directly to the snowmobile as well but figured they would obviously only work if you hit in those specific spots with no protection if ejected from the vehicle.

Today I got a free gsx600. It has no key, it’s a dead system. I don’t want to spend the money to have a key programmed if the sled ends up being junk. Any ideas on if I can bypass it, or anything I can do outside of having a key made up. Thanks guys!

I live on the east side of Michigan and am generally pretty active in the winter with ice fishing and whatnot. Basically grew up riding up north and on the rivers when they froze over.

I’m looking to get back into the sport. Nothing fancy or super quick just a reliable workhorse and capable of carrying me and one other rider. I know my way around small engines and have a shop so I’d be doing most if not all maintenance and work on it.

I’ve been pretty vigilant on marketplace for a used sled I just want some input on what to keep my eyes out for.

Listed my 2010 Summit 800 146” for sale or trade. It’s a legit sled. Little older but it’s solid. Taken good care of her and put money into it. Here is the listing description:

Runs and drives well. ~4000 miles. Bought it four years ago, spent around $2000 on parts and maintenance, put about 300 miles on it over the years. Will need seals and track is getting close. Been fun but no time to ride. Have an XL helmet, goggles, and some gear I could throw in.

Looking for $2000 or trade toward anything except a sled, jet ski, or boat, send offers

Huge mistake. Genuinely fascinated by the trade offers. Below are a handful of the trade offers I’ve received.
