A few years ago due to some trading and coming across good deals, I ended up with 7 snow machines. I really only need 2. One for me, and one for a guest. I did some selling and got back to 2. Fast forward to 2014, and I have 5 again. Just couldn't pass up on some good deals. Will do some TLC and when the snow hits I plan to post a couple of them for sale. This time I have all Polaris machines. Last time it was a mix of Polaris and Skidoo. Oh, and 1 Yamaha. It was the 1000cc beast Attak. Sold it to a fellow out in the bush, and shipped it out. I must have an addiction. Anyone else get carried away like this?

I won't get into a brand war but Polaris doesn't make the top 5 in my list of brands I would own/ride."The closer I get to nature the farther I am from idiots"

Yes I too have the problem. I'm a vintage machine kind of guy and as far as sleds will be thinning as well. I have my 69' Panther that I ride exclusively, a 71' Axial Flo Panther, a 90 Cougar (bought so the motor could go in the Axial), a 1980 Motor Ski Super Sonic I thought I would vintage race and the Wife's 07' Tundra 300....there's just 2 of us.
Also is my dirt bikes... 90' KTM 540 dxc, 82' KTM 495, 81' Yz 125 and 3 Honda trail 90's..... a 2003 Honda Foreman 450s, 2012 Grizzly 700 and a 2013 Big Boss....again....only 2 of us. Whenever I get after my Wife for another pair of shoes for her shoe fetish I hear all bout my little collection, imagine that.
I have the other thread going here about a new sled I'm after and have already come to grips with the sled inventory only consisting of my 69' Panther, Wife's Tundra and whatever new sled I end up with....
I'm picky about everything being in storage and orderly and out of sight so it gets to be a chore getting things out for use...yup time to thin.

I'm guilty as well. I come across too many great deals. Best one was a Skidoo Grand Touring for $500, moving sale in July. Had 300 miles and supposedly would not run. Got it home and put in fresh gas and new plugs and fired right up. Finally sold it this fall for a few thousand more than I payed for it after a few years of riding it."I'd rather be fishing!"

I don't think I get carried away...
340 Lite GT, 340 Touring, 440 Sport, 500 Classic, Elan, 2011 tundra. Would have had more but sold 2 last year. Also;
Suzuki King Quad, Honda Rancher, Polaris Sportsman 500, Polaris Sportsman 500 HO. Had a Yamaha I sold.
Boats... Let's see, only 3 w/ motors, that's if you don't include the Grumman Sport Boat w/ a 5hp, and another canoe, and 2 kayaks. But have 2 more OMC 88 for more boat projects.
Nah. No problems here. Oh, I see something new and shiny on CL...
