ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

Chicks dig the smell of two stroke

Folks rented a sled back in the 60s when they first were being made. Thing leaked gas and/or fumed mercilessly. Got skis for Christmas after that.

Not sure if you would need that chord.

The fast charger at Schroon is a good start but it looks more accessible for cars and trucks. For most people the range for an electric sled will be fine. Using a 110 home charger overnight will be sufficient. Eventually there will be a shift but you’ll have better luck finding Champagne on tap at a sled bar than a fast charger. I lived for a while in the sledneck capital of the world, Cooke City MT and found them to be both useful and annoying to the extreme. If going to an off grid cabin there will be pusher trailers for backup battery power. They will help with increased range, hauling gear and double to power cabin lights and electronic emergency systems. There will be people that will never quit oil but fairly soon their machines will be rolling museums, which could be cool too. I like going to see steam cars and trains but there’s also a reason we don’t burn Whale oil lamps anymore. Looking forward to a quieter backcountry and if I want some smoke I’ll roll a joint.

Cooke City MT

Buddy of mine takes a trip there every year. He say's it's wild, and obviously completely different riding than the trail riding we have here. I know one thing, high marking would not be for me.

I sooner see 4-strokes that electric sleds. I ride a 4-stroke and love it.

You can't run the pipes in NYS like they do in MT. MT allows it because they need all the motor they can get in that deep POW. Thus the pipes and turbos.

It’s a great place if you are into avalanches and bar fights. You have to hold your own. The Sheriff is 3 hours away and the hospital is 4.5

Mikey Moore made another movie recently,
“Planet of the Humans”.
Since climate change is such a hot topic, here’s a link.
What do ya think?

Conceal carry or open carry

Both are OK except in the bar or the Post Office

Nice

My buddy who goes always tells me I can't go. He said if I did I'd never come home.
