Wow!! That's shocking in a bad way! 

We can't post "No ATVs" on Crown Land as we don't have control over it.  It appears that ATVs can run OFSC trails on Crown Land without permits and there is nothing we/you can do about it.   

 

So, one could technically take an off road mini excavator or a recreational bulldozer😉 out on the Crown Land trails in the summer and play around and there's not much you could do about it. 

 

Check out the Buckhorn club FB page as it is being discussed. I guess we were wrong.

 

It feels like such a waste of time and $$$ for the amount of volunteering we do, to have the base or groomed trails destroyed by ATVs. I may have to reconsider my involvement in the club.

 

Thank you Sean for the quick replies.

Saw that as well and the trolls...

An update for E110 in the vicinity of the Paudash clubhouse. It will be closed between TOP E and PTB 617 (the Saunders Trail) until further notice. The south end of 617 will detour this. For those unfamiliar w/ 617, it is the trail that crosses Dyno Road, just north of its intersection w/ Hwy 28.

Good news, the station now has fuel. While Trudy's is still closed & for sale on 62, a new business (St' Ola's Station) has opened up across the road. In years past there was a  food truck located there. They are in the process of getting a fueling setup permitted. 

Unfortunately the website will be in hiatus this winter due to circumstances beyond my control. That being said, I'm still taking updates about lodgings. So if you know of any businesses that have closed, reopened or been renamed, please post them here

TIA

vintage weekend 3 weeks ago,scorpion made it 1/2 mile lol

That sucks. Sounds like the Elan the last couple of seasons. It would start OK, run it around the yard for a few minutes & then quit. Last year I didn't have to tow it back to the shed. Everything seemed OK. Fresh fuel, carb was clean and spark. We guessed that maybe the coil was 'breaking down' as it got hot. Brother installed a new 1 & it ran fine the rest of the winter around the woodlot.

I'm guessing Tory won't be voting for this guy:

Nice!  What the heck is happening to your pictures? 

Looks like you had a good season, how many klicks on that 900 now?

Hit 20,000 a week ago Sat' coming back from Mazinaw. Dropped it off @ the dealer for some PM work that's above my 'pay grade'. LOF when it gets home to the shed.

Not sure what the issue is. Lets see how long this 1 lasts

Last ride of the season

Just off Baptiste Lake this morning:

From Monday's ride on E208:

120 klicks between Ptbo & Campbellford w/ a side trip to Keene. I imagine the folks I was talking to last winter from there have had a few rides from home this season.

From this on the weekend:

To this today:

Well your pictures gone again, weird to say the least.

Ardbeg for lunch yesterday, Grandson had a snow day so he jumped on the Mach to ride with Dad. Food was much better than in past and server paid special attention to Grandson's order of Hot Chocolate with whipped cream. Shout out to Loggers Station House, know it's been tough on them with the shitty, short seasons.

 

 

God I haven't ridden in Ardbeg since the mid 

I had to laugh at 1 woman on the news saying, 'He's blaming it on COVID and being lonely...whatever'. 

Was he living in his office & couldn't make the drive home? 

A lot of people are saying what he did should be excused because he & the staffer are consenting adults. They don't seem to remember that he's married. I wonder if the missus has been as forgiving as the average Torontonian?

Left side as you sit.  Did I win you a beer????

It's been like that since day one hasn't it? A rider in our group had it on the wrong side. He's blaming the dealer, but the newer valtag is on the wrong side, but an older 1 is on the correct side. The reason I noticed is that I was standing on the left side and the sticker was expired. 'Mike you know you still need to get a val tag?' 'Yeah, this year's is on the this side.' 

Me: ? 

'The dealer put this year's on it...'

I don't know how the dealer would be involved since he's had the sled for a couple of years. Does he need the dealer to put his birthday sticker on for him?

What did a glass of OJ cost there?

something was up, maybe she was trying to blackmail him or something.  

I don't see this as anyone's business - his ability to run the city hasn't changed good or bad.

 

maybe he doesn't want to put his family though the Social Media bullshit that will certainly happen. 

Lots of mean people posting daily

Or someone else was aware of it? From what the Star said, they asked his lawyer about it & that started the ball rolling.

Why all the hate for a conservative leader you all voted for   

 

Best Mayor since Lastman

Where do we start?

An old fuck trying to act cool all the time. Cut from the same cloth as Norm Gardiner.

Got stuck on a snowmobile trail near Lindsay blindly following his GPS 

As head of Rogers he was around during the fiasco of making customers opt out of an extra charge cable package (that nobody wanted) rather than opt in. When I went to their local office to cancel mine, people were lined up out to the parking lot to cancel the 'package'.

I'll miss his verbal diarrhea on the news, not. He was worse than JT. I can't imagine being in any meetings & have to listen to him drone on.

I just figured you deleted them?

Nope. I see my TOP B pic is still visible. Just copied and pasted like the rest of my pics.

Any idea why the pics I posted earlier have 'disappeared'?

Survived the deep freeze in District 6. 350 klicks over two & a half days of riding.

Following their gps get them in that predicament or just a brain dead azzhat behind the wheel?

Talking to 2 sledders that messaged the club about the SUV & they said he wanted to visit the park. He drove past where the walkers & skiers park... I think the main entrance is on the other side of the park. But you can never understand these dolts.

105 klicks today. Ptbo out to Cambellford. Saw an azzhat in a Buick SUV stuck on the trail in Ferris Prov' Park.
