I initially said the very same thing. After 5 years of not even thinking of snowmobiling, I took a trip to Yellowstone, and toured the place on a snowmobile. It wasn't untill then, that I realized just how much I missed the mountains, snow, the bite of the cold morning air, and the sheer pleasure of hitting a good trail on a sled. The 5 year abstinance from sledding showed itself through every aching muscle and joint throughout my entire trip, but it was worth every minute of it, as well as every ache and pain. I haven't been able to get snowmobiles, and winter out of my mind since. My trip to Haliburton, Ontario last winter only cemented this obsession - enough so that I'm now restoring an old John Deere Liquifire despite my southern location. Hiding in an air conditoined house all summer just isn't fun. This summer will be my first riding motorcycles. It's a blast to do, but still not the same as the sled. At least it'll keep me outside, and the winds created from riding at highway speeds makes the heat tolerable. However, I can still ride motorcycles up north in the summer as well, and still be able to ride snowmobiles without trailering it two days down the road in the winter. I really miss the mountains as well, with the sweet smell of pine trees in the summer. You can have the sticky, slimy, grimy southern summer heat. I've about had all I can take............
