Federal Forest land in Vermont is posted 35. And the SP and Wardens do run radar.

Trump should run for representative to congress from Fla. which he would surely win. Then he can get voted Speaker of the House. Then he can call for impeachment of Biden and Harris. After that's done, he CAN run for President again in '24, but he will have already served his country well and should let someone else run for POTUS. Someone who's not likely to have every left-wing, derelict, drug addicted low life make his mark on the paper simply because they offer money, and help the socialists cheat again.

Same deal on the west side of the river. Good. Fines need to be expensive.

That's the one my bud has on his "22 XCR. It was purrfect when I rode it! I laugh when the speedometer cover guys are complaining about cold and frostbite around their goggles!

In that case we're all set!

OK, I thought maybe that's how you were using them. Thanks for the clarification.

Thats kinda what I'm looking for. Reduced soft snow push. I can figure out the darting if it's excessive. My Pro-Steers with 6" deuce bars are perfect on hard trails. Thanks.

Which is why I didn't get grippers.

Interesting. Can you explain the 2x6 trick? I was planning to have it on a lift for the ski changeover. I'm old ya know, and the parts don't collapse as easily as they once did.

It was "Buy a YUGO and get a free tow truck."

As someone said previously, "it ain't the same as it was in the 90's"... or before. The plandemic has induced more people to sell their home in the city and move to the country as they've found they can "work from home". These people looked at, and bought their home most likely NOT in the winter when sleds were crossing their prospective land. The noise they hear in the winter is more of an issue than the fact that people are riding sleds on a trail that happens to be on their land which they gave nary a thought to when they purchased. We need to do everything possible to keep noise

Quebec has banned riding after 10PM or midnight, I forget which, and don't know if it's plandemic related or not.

You'll never get me to agree that loud cans don't matter, but I agree about the newly transplanted of 2nd home owners being most of the problem. However, as long as they can sell their home on a postage stamp and relocate to the quiet of the country and own multiple acres, we're going to need to deal with it. And noise is sometimes their biggest complaint, especially during nightime. So why do anything to increase it?

Nothing, I was trying to make a "joke" that my DIESEL fuel tank is not explosive like a GAS tank!

I'm hip to the front track shock and setup. Currently I've got a HyGear dual-rate spring on my FTS and it's smooth and the sled balance is excellent for me running minimum preload. ProSteers with the duce bars are shimmed and toed out 1/8". The plan...... is to install the C&A's according to C&A instructions and ride it. I HAVE seen some conflicting reports on the web about which direction the C&A rubber goes in, and whether or not they should be shimmed from the start.

Where did you here that about not doing well on Poo's. Now you've got me worried.

I guess more notice needs to be done on some platform other than Facebook. I mean the notices and posts/threads are all over the sledding pages on FB. I've heard that lotsa kids say FB is so "yesterday" but I don't have the slightest clue what platform they're using. It probably won't make a difference because some of these people just see DON'T, as a dare to do it anyway. They should lose the sleds!

I don't have dooleys. I have duce bars. I tried dooleys and you're correct. they were terrible pushers. There's a BIG difference between dooleys and duce bars. And my issue isn't in a situation where the carbide is going to make a big difference, its SOFT snow where I have the problem.

I guess we'll see. I've ordered a set of XTP's with 6" shaper bars that darted like crazy on my ProSteers before I changed to the Duce bars. Tried dooleys too but they really sucked for turning. I've got my fingers crossed that I can tune out any hard steering I may encounter. I'd rather have more steering effort if it keeps me on my side if the trail.

The older Adventure like mine has tons of storage. The new ones, not so much. I wouldn't replace a 600 with an 800 or 850 because of the known reliability of the 600. I'd rebuild it. I was considering the new SLP trail ski but couldn't find any reviews from the east, so I've decided to go with the (more expensive) C&A XTP.

Yep. shimmed with Duce bars. No darting on hardpack. No positive turning in soft snow.

I'm in favor of impounding sleds caught riding off trail where it's not allowed, and serious fines for cans on trails too.

So , no answer, thanx. Sorry I don't have a new Matrix. I ordered the C&A XTP. All is good.

Woodford got dumped on! Everyone go to Woodford this weekend and give the NEK a rest. We got totally robbed of this storm!

My totally ungrounded truck has a FUEL tank so that makes my tailgate safe for my 5 gal cans!
