I went from Lagoon City to Fenelon Falls stopped at the dock side for lunch, then I went back to Orillia and back around some of those trails before heading back to lagoon city... trails were mushy late in the day but really a great day. As soon as the sun faded the trails hardened up tight and was really fun ride late in the day. I would say traffic was moderate, b104 is never too busy it seems, its why I go that way, haha he first pic is b trail east of orillia. Second was somewhere on b104, third is lake couchaching.

ArcticCrusher Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I had little doubt trails would have been fine for Sat and run down by the end of the day as they were pristine on Friday. My son was unavailable anyways and the thought of sledding in >+10 temps was not appealing regardless. Glad you guys got out and had fun and still hope there could be some riding still after this melt down, if not there is always next year. So went to the car show with my son and a few of his friends, first time in I think 30 years. Saw lots of bikes on the ride down, guess they took advantage of the weather, who can blame them. Place was overcrowded and the air was quite stuffy, although that could have just been caused from the typical downtown crowd. Glad to see the Dodge lineup and the SRT's they are putting in many cars and SUV's. Hellcat Sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence, but based on your riding style & your comments in regards to those that actually like to use the fun flipper, there is no way in hell you would ever blow a belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence, but based on your riding style & your comments in regards to those that actually like to use the fun flipper, there is no way in hell you would ever blow a belt I just save the speed factor for the ice rather than the trails and choose not to hammer the throttle from a dead stop rather than chew up the trail. Really what do you accomplish by going from a stand still and spinning the track ruining the trail rather than a controlled acceleration to whatever speed you choose. So it takes you an extra second to get to whatever speed because you didn't spin the track and chew a hole. Not everyone including those who love speed chew through belts. A friend of ours blew a belt a couple of weeks ago while we were out riding. His 2011 Cat Turbo lost the original belt when he was running at 130 kph. It reminds me of the idiot who gets a thrill of squealing tires away from a stoplight. Who do they think they are impressing.

So are you suggesting that your ego is so fragile that you have a need to squeal your tires pulling away from a stoplight. How about sharing who you feel you're impressing when you do that?
