I've read plenty of complaints on ice fishing boards about guys being stranded by their polaris bikes while out ice fishing due to their machines freezing up. Several on the Simcoe board. Now that's not personal experience for sure, but I've seen too many PoPo's on the hook over the years to believe they've come along at all. On the other hand, my yammie has started on the ice many many times when i've thought it might not due to the freezing temps. It's sort of like buying a tracker boat. They sound good when you look at the features and the price, but the real world negative experiences way too many people have had sours the name.
