Etecs never need plugs changed. Very rare

Regardless plugs should be good for the season.  Had to change one trailside on sons Rush after one plug got fouled likely from not letting it warm enough.

Only time it happened.  Rare but still.

Sounds like a CAT....although I remember Hanlon a few years ago on his NEW Freeride, was going through plugs like they were going out of style....:news:

Yes, actually 2 sleds riding separate. Dave, be sure all the numbers match and also have a valid VAL Tag since you will get the ticket and the sled is not covered by insurance.

I wish I got to you before you booked.

 

 

So this is what we saw today. 

I couldn't take pictures of the first sled due to battery on phone dead. Warmed up phone and this is the second sled.

Temp permit does not match the VIN or VAL tag numbers.

Looks like they are just photo copying the temp permit. 

Sure wish I has a picture of the first one. I'm sure it was the same permit photo copied.

Anyway, both VAL tags were DEC 17 and expired. Told the riders they could be in for a ticket if OPP stop them. Also the sleds have no insurance coverage with a non valid VAL tag.

To top it off they were riding on a closed trail because we needed to repair 2 bridges so they could go limited. Back Country sent them to Dorset on a closed trail.

A huge thanks for the helpers we had to get it done. Only tool 3 hours.

See the pictures attached. These were taken from the same sled from a company who profits from our trails and contributes nothing to the sledding community.

We will be in contact with the OPP and pay them a visit.

These people at Back Country are scum. Please pass the word.

That's the unfortunate reality when you build a sled that lasts more than a couple rides before bursting into flames.....

I would not own a doo out of warranty.  Though I would not a poo either. Maybe a cat or yam.  (Motors reliable).

So, the most important thing here is that bridge is good to go and the trail past the ASC shelter will open soon! :bc:

That is awesome and big thanks to those that helped!

That's pretty ballsy/stupid for a rental company.  I think Sean should set up a sting just outside their property.
