Your winter days get shorter if you have your mods and upgrades planned to do while you can not ride. Lots and lots of ideas here.
I remember the snow mobile days well. My father used to work part time as an assembler of these toys back when we were young. That got him the snowmobiles for cost. Something like that. We each had one, except my Mom. Five snow mobiles all out together riding all over Northern Saskatchewan. We could not even imagine in that time that there would be a time when there would be groomed trails, maps, requirements for helmets, heated grips and seats. My Dad hunted and would tan the hides of moose, bear, deer etc. and then cut mittens and mucklucks for us. Grandma knit wool mitt liners and socks. We had the space age latest greatest in skidoo suits, also gotten in exchange for my father's efforts, and we'd seldom get home before dark.
Now, I feel like a wimp wanting heated everything on my bike.
