My "awesome" criteria might be slightly different..... I consider a blown motor a biggie. Wear items I can live with. So what did you buy?

You should head up, might only have a few weeks left! You won't be able to do much trail riding from the cottage though.

Yeah, was from a club officer. Any club should be able to tell you how the funding is currently structured. I understand the desire to incentify grooming, but it needs to be monitored if clubs are gonna abuse it.

Interesting. Especially considering that the Mach crank broke when the new owner had it. And you figure that's "normal", when 1200s are about as bulletproof as it gets? Lol No issues since.... . He's had it 3 months, and it's a 600. But keep on with your bullshit stories. lol. Too bad you're getting out of the sport; we enjoy your fairy tales.

He probably wants to see all the sleds though. And you getting upset at people leaving the Polaris display might be embarrassing.

Didn't you just rebuild a blown Polaris motor?

Cat populations are always in decline when you live near a Mandarin.

Hence, the crossbow comment. No firearm discharge, quiet, etc.

Shoot the fucker. A crossbow should suffice. Canada Goose needs the fur for their hoods anyway.

We didn't watch all the runs. But 178 was the high number we heard. And we certainly didn't hear about any stock sleds running 163..... lol

How is the guide a political one? If it was a political one, based on grooming dollar allocation, the groomer operators would want the trails to be green, not red. The fact that they are grooming red trails unlikely to be green again this year, is the issue. And there will be lots of controversy over that. It is a guide, and is much easier to update in real time, than to go to specific trails and put up gates. Is it perfect? No, but to mark a trail red, there is a liability risk. Not sure why you find it useless. For example, one lake trail across Wahnipitae is marked red right now. Huge pressure crack, but it's healed over and frozen. But the liability is there. Maybe they've just been lax in your area about updating the guide properly (and not reflecting the actual conditions)? If so, having that corrected would be good for all. It is a good resource. I'd focus on THAT, as opposed to just claiming an electronic guide is useless. In the old days, we would call hotels etc. to see how the trails were..... no bias there, of course. My only issue with the ITG, is it's reliance on data for map drawing- stupid in a sport where we're often out of cell range. For green/yellow/red updates, sure, use data. But the maps should be stored locally on the device. Then all that's needed is a fix, and you know where you are (relative to trails.) Bottom line is.... why not just ride open trails?

Previous visitors forgot starter fluid at the Wolf Mountain lookout..... but looks like they survived, having brought some nourishment.

Ask him to post pics of the not so good areas..... lol All kidding aside, it's a money thing this year. Club financing is linked to their grooming hours directly. And because they're grooming closed trails, the shit's gonna hit the fan. So much for the honour system.

Grolsch. And a few canned Caesars might have been consumed....

Third time out actually. But then, I only ride on open trails. Wings are certainly beneficial to lift. We put the slim little Icom in the 140, works well.

This place is always normal. Fortunately, there are few crybabies here. Most know what FS is..... lol

He was asking the price.

If these Polarii are bulletproof, why is this necessary? In any case, if Polaris is offering 4 year warranty as a Hail-Mary effort, in addition to their dump pricing, I think they're in trouble. 4 years of rebuilding 850s could bankrupt them.

Go clean the toilet, and make some coffee for the guys.

33 foot Toyos? Wow.....

Be careful...... if you "engage" certain people, they've been known to throw a fit, take their Tonkas, and go home. Especially if you say one negative word about their favourite sled brand. lol

Well, the trespassers will always be out. They don't care if trails are closed. Then they'll sue the OFSC when they get swallowed up in a washout, claiming "there was no sign!" lol Here's a pic I took near Pointe au Baril on the way up. South of North Bay, there is almost no snow. A little in the bush. As for why are they grooming a closed trail? Talked with a club Pres this weekend. He says the way the OFSC is structuring dollars now, they are heavily incentifying grooming. So operators will go out, even on closed trails. They're paid to go. Seems like a waste of diesel, equipment damage, etc. How was the keyboard sledding in your basement this weekend?

You would think with a new engine, they could have spent a couple more bucks and designed a sled that looks good. Or at least a normal windshield.

Some pics from north of Sudsville. Trails were perfect, fast as hell. They'll be good up there until April, lakes have 3' of ice, lots of snow. Radar runs at Rocky's. The Mini Z ran 64mph. A Mach ran 178. Some guy in North Bay ran 203.

Dude was on Kij. Was $50 or so, and he can access all options. Not sure what he can do with the non-premium cluster though. And he only needs the cluster, no need to haul the sled, unless you need a DESS key programmed. Manny (416) 566-4354. (Speed Dial #2.)
