Thinksno Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I live in the area, Gannons Narrows is a place I don't want to be anywhere near on sled. http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2017/02/03/snowmobiler-missing-on-buckhorn-lake-north-of-peterborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I doubt he's missing; pretty sure I know where he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pt3189 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Found. Not a happy ending. Reports are recovery was made in the middle of an open channel. Freaky winter for ice. I live on Belmont Lake (43 years) . There are 12 to 15 inches on average. However anything near a current thins out rapidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHEX says the guy was from Ennismore, so it's not like he didn't know the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 That area never freezes and current carries a long way down Buckhorn. Every few years someone goes down there, usually a local. I don't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The "C" note is attainable.....but only if the Lesters are driving, as they are the only ones able to handle such speeds......as per their show on Saturday.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I actually had the opportunity to ride a 2017 XCR800 this weekend. Good power, handling, weight, etc. All in all, an excellent copy of a Rev XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
