i have a 1970 ski-doo nordic and i heard that insurance cost less if u have an older sled. i want to know if that is true

No, because in most cases, you’re not insuring the sled itself. Only the LIABILITY, the damage you do to anyone else.

I am going snowmobiling this week in Brainerd, MN and I need to know what boots to wear. I will be on an Arctic Cat ZX 440 that is a few years old and I really need help. So this is my question; How much heat can I expect to get on my feet from the engine? Also; How many grams of thinsulate should I have in my boots approximately?

Don’t expect too much heat from the engine, but a pair of 600 gram thinsulate should be fine. But I would pack a few of those packages of toe heaters that you can find in just about any gas station or store. For the few dollars it costs to buy them, it’s worth the piece of mind to have them if you really need them. That way your day won’t be ruined by cold feet.

Sabotaged Sled!

This snowmobile was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. CrankyApe.com employees attempted to start the unit. The sled fired up and just kept going. Someone had zip tied the throttle and circumvented the ignition. The snowmobile hit the proper RPM’s and took off across the warehouse until hitting a wall. The problem was that there was no way to turn the sled off. The studded track began to break apart and heavy white smoke (you could not see thru it) filled the warehouse. Finally CrankyApe employees moved the sled outside where it erupted into flames with the engine still going full speed…..and that’s where the video begins!!!

So what laws are there in Illinois that regard a snowmobile trailer? I am looking to buy but I need to know about the laws. Do I need to buy plates? Insurance? OR anything else that regards a snowmobile trailer. I am just using the trailer to get the snowmobile from my house to the trails.
The trailer is a two place trailer and its 7×8. Also how much would plates cost if I do need them?

Trailers need a license plate, but your auto insurance should cover the trailer as well. The kind of plates you need depend upon the type and size of trailer.
