  1. According to the ITG it is 249 km. You can use the trip plan feature on the top left of the map to find that type of info. out.
  2. He has tin foil so no need of the hot dogger. Just find a hot spot to set it on and don't wait TOO long to take it off.
  3. Not as much of an issue with "winter tires" but it certainly is with real "snow tires"
  4. No doubt that you are correct in what you posted but like Ski said and as you know, my Blizzaks don't like these high temps we've been getting.
  5. I understand that. If you look at the 14 day forecast for our area, there are 2 or 3 days with a max of 1cm. of snow and 2 days with less than a cm. There's also a day forcast with 1-3 cm. of snow. I have no reason to be driving that day anyway. No days with freezing high temp. I normally never go anywhere until after 10 AM so roads will likely be melted themselves by then and if they aren't I live a quarter mile from a regional yard so we get more than our share of salt. Oh, also the average daily high forcast for that 14 day period is 4.92 degrees. I rest my case LOL
  6. Was just thinking about doing that this morning but will wait till the rain is done.
  7. You are having success so keep doing what you are doing. Personally I drain the tank as low as possible add Stabil and run engine for 20 minutes then fog the 2 strokes. Been doing that for over 35 years on all sleds with no fuel or storage related issues so I'll keep doing it. It's a similar procedure for all my small engines.
  8. I see what you are saying now but unless MacPhersons Esso pay to advertise on the map it won't likely happen. I guess they figure they dont need to be on the map when the club maintains the trail for them and they can have a sign at the trail intersection. I wonder if the groomers fuel there?
  9. Put the stabalizer and the new fuel if thats your thing) in before you ride it. then you don't have to run it on the stand.
  10. That is the club's responsibility to get their District office to add the trail I believe but the trail has to be GPS'd with the system the District uses before it gets on the ITG. Need a tecky volunteer ready and able to spend their time and fuel to do the job.
  11. "Revrnd" drove to Cochrane yesterday but decided to continue driving to Hearst instead of riding based on comments from Mrs. Turbo Doo who rode the corridor this past weekend.
  12. I have always been under the impression that restaurants, hotels etc. paid for being on the map. It would be nice if it just took the local club's passing the necessary info to their District office to get businesses added.
  13. Is that long enough to get the stabilizer through the WHOLE system? Personally I doubt it. You need to get it from the tank through the fuel lines and the carb(s) or injectors or you haven't protected the whole system. As well you need to get the stabilizer mixed with all the gas in the tank first or you could be wasting your time and money.
  14. My old Yammie is a PIA as well. Have to loosen some panel off to get the airbox off so you can get at the plugs and then they still aren't plesent to get out or in.
  15. I just find that as the engine compartment get smaller and smaller that even changing spark plugs is becoming a big job. I read early this week on QR that a group pulled one to the nearest dealer to have fouled plugs swapped.
  16. Not if you are used to doing your own wrenching.
  17. I pulled stakes and signs at the road crossing on our place today. They came out way to easy for Feb. 22nd. I wouldn't mind if I had to put them back in but....
  18. When Yammies were Yammies if you wanted their hitch it came with a HD bumper and a plate that ran from the centre of the HD bumper and was to be bolted or riveted to the top rear of the tunnel.
  19. So by design has A/C made a heavy duty bumper on all sleds produced that will take the pull from that hitch or do they provide a weight rating along with the hitch or could it be a find the weakest link scenerio?
  20. To anyone who understands trail prep this pretty much says it all. North Bay SS on their F/B page last week stated something to the effect that it was like starting from scratch to get the trails back open.
  21. As Toyman mentioned, turn right on O'Connor Drive, cross the railway tracks and there was a large parking area on the right side. We parked there for a week one year with no issues. In fact it still shows on Google Earthview.
