Recently I posted about wanting to have a snowmobiling experience, and thank all of you who shared advice and suggestions! It seems that it would probably be about $1K to go ride a snowmobile once or twice by the time I pay for plane tickets, car rental, motel rooms, food, and snowmobile rental. For some people that wouldn't be too much money for the experience but I'm not in that kind of financial position, so maybe the whole idea in unrealistic. But thinking on to different options, it looks like I could buy a used snowmobile for about the same price or less. We usually do get snow at least once a year in this part of GA, and if it only lasted long enough to go riding for two days that would be as much as I could hope for with the original rental idea. And if it happened twice in a year I'd be ahead. And if I hauled it to other places in NC or TN or wherever when it snowed there then it could turn into way more riding than with the original idea.
Can anyone give suggestions about how to make it practical to ride a snowmobile when there isn't snow to ride on (I don't want to try that water stuff), like to put wheels under the skis? Is there a way to not destroy the track? That would give more use out of the machine making it more practical to have, and also keep it running so on the rare occasions when it does snow it would be good to go. Actually it could be very practical because with the situation I'm in I could ride it to work which is only 2 miles away and can get there without driving on the road.
So can anyone give suggestions about buying a used snowmobile for around $1000 and how to make it practical to ride when there's no snow? What machines to consider, and what to stay away from... I'm a small person and only weigh about 140 pounds, so it seems that should be something to consider though I know nothing about such specific considerations. I just saw a video of a guy riding one with wheels in front, riding up and down the road in front of his house. Isn't that bad for the track, or can they handle riding on the street?
Thank you for any help with this!
