DanInAlaska, Thanks for the help, much appreciated. I have developed mobility issues and need a way to get up and down from the cabin this winter. Then sell the machine next summer.
The reason I am not going to get a snowmachine is there is not enough snow some winters.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
