No snow will mean a Harley next summer Rethinking this Harley purchase of yours and ya know you might want to buy one sooner rather than later, there just might be some days throughout the winter that you can ride it....I know last year I recall seeing quite a few out on the roads during the lovely wintery days we had, guys with sleds & Harleys may have just put more miles on the bike than the sled last year!

We have four seasons, make sure you are covered for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this either....you can ride lots of good trails, as long as you are willing to trailer a bit, I know many dot not want to, but it is becoming a reality if you want to ride during our winters as of late, unless you live North of course.

Anyone know how clubs with snow last year did financially with this new pricing schedule and another year under their belt with the new system in place?

WTF would be wrong with white, black and silver, and next year go to black, silver and white, and the next year go to silver, black and white. We spend 15K on a sled, and mine happens to be white, orange, and black. That fuscia color looks like shit on a great looking sled, and I,m sure on many others as well. That color blends in with absolutely nothing else out there, unless you,re talking vintage sleds, maybe the Yamaha Vmax. I,m sure it would look just as ugly on the Ronald-Macdonald color schemes. Maybe it,s about time the paying members had a vote, while ordering this years permits on what colors next years should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02sled Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It is a lousy colour but the reality is that it needs to be easily distinguishable from prior years so people riding by trail patrol or OPP don't really have to stop moving or slow to a crawl so the year on the permit can be read. People complain about having to slow down as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostynuts Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Hey Irv, Good to see you back on here. Where is your short peckered Polaris accounting friend ? I think his name was red on the old site. LOL I think they are ugly as hell, and I ain,t putting that ugly thing on my sled. Glad I got to see the color before I purchased one.

I say it every year but the best looking permit I ever saw was one printed on the inside of a Miss vickies chip bag.
