My girlfriend insists we're going to Massachusetts, but I like my Michigan weather too. I heat my house with wood in the winter time, I've had a snowmobile, kinda sad last year we got a little over two foot of snow one night, I needed to get to work, and my Suburban was snowed in. Up went the garage door and out came the Polaris 600XLT, only had a 5 mile hike. The police were all snowed in, so what were they gonna do? Pull me over? lol...

Granted I like riding scooters more and would like to live somewhere without winter, but sleds are fast... and it don't take much to make them faster.

It made me sick to pack up and move from MI....But I got laid off, took 2 years to find a job that paid 8.75 an hour. It was outside last winter, I moved at the end of March, out here to Colorado....The weather is good for scooting, but all the hills are killing me...I need to change make some changes to the spree. I just got a 44 BBK...didn't change jets (high altitude), now time to go through the drive line.

The touristas always get in the way. I know you guys are locals, but tourists all year long is a crime against nature or at least a plot to undermined America by the socialists, AKA liberals.
