Winter 2018

Have dealt with Quinn's, Full Throttle (the old Biedas), St Onge., but mostly Snow City these days with the demise of Cal Jet.  As George said, Gateway is in a good location if you're heading up that way.  Some say Bennet's, as it is newer ownership.  If you ever dealt with Horst in the old days though, you'll understand anybody's reservations in going there..... Lol.

No issues with any of them really. 

Don't they have rider days somewhere/sometime?  No idea what the limitations are though. 

AC, you can try out my heavy & archaic 1200 this year..... or ride in style in the Elite with Stevie.

I thought you were selling your soggy Etecs?  Or did you buy newer/different?

Not soggy at all...................I don't take newer Doo's over any open water. Dangerous

I had them up for sale but my daughter isn't happy even though with high school and sports we will never use the damn things

I used to make fun of my buddy for packing a shovel, come along and a bunch of other crap.  Well today we came across a nytro augered In a ravine deep in the bush.  Took four of us, two pulling the sled and two on the come along to get him out.  There's no way the two were getting that beast out on their own.

LMAO!

My father bought his 1st Oly' from them back in '69 and they were dicks afterwards. The only reason I bought a late season '85 MX from them as they were the only dealer that I could find that had 1 still.

I'll hold my tongue about Gateway.

He was something else.  "IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE PRICE, YOU CAN GET THE FUCK OUT AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!" lol.  Bought my 1997 670 there.  I heard he passed away.  Didn't know the dealership dated back to '69.

What happened at Gateway?  Open forum, we gotta help each other out.  :)

Well, that's a good thing that she has some passion for them!  Try to set aside some time. 

She does. Whole family does really but high school and career paths and sports for the kids are getting in the way.

Just booking a soccer ID camp in Florida for my daughter for February now. ..................FFS!

Told him to check how much oil drained out vent tube.  He drove it out with the oil light on.  And my back is sore this morning.

I can just imagine how sore your back is. They are all heavy when they are stuck that bad.

Amazing just how far off trail one can go with a topped out speed of 50 KPH. LOL 

Inertia is massive.
