  1. I used to ride hard, all day. Now, as I enter my sixties, I have slowed it down and no longer have to wait ten minutes for the wife to catch up. Getting old sucos.
  2. Leftover 2024 should be under 18k.
  3. No doubt bearing spinning on shaft. They all do it. Poor design on those sleds. There are fixes as mentioned. If you are handy this is a home repair.
  4. 2007 was as bad as this year....then 2008 was one of the best ever. Sledding ain't dead yet.

    Dryden today.
  6. The link i posted above is wrong but if you enter the part number piston lake posted in e bay search there is one on there for under 100 bucks shipped.
  7. Cats chaincase is a weak link, hoping this system is better. I have not heard of issues yet with the 600 but not many out there and surely not many miles. 858 is actually lighter than the 600. Also, since moving back south only put about 1500kms on the sled, the 4 stroke was a much better choice when running 5 to 6 k per season. Yet to see the price, and this season being a bust, the economy on a downward trend, leftover pricing may return so that is also a factor that may have undue influence on my decision. God, now you got me thinking........
  8. Like the belt replacing the chain, like the catalyst chasis. No four stroke in the catalyst.
  9. I am snow checking an 858. Be my first 2 stroke in 18 years.
  10. Problem is, the lawyers cost huge money to defend, so often a settlement is offered. Nobody should be allowed to sue a club. It is an off road activity with sleds now breaking 200hp. Of course you can die or be severely injured. Risk should be placed 100% where it belongs, on us, the riders. Don't like risk, get under the bed, wrap yourself up in bubble wrap and hide until god calls you home when you finally die of boredom.
  11. You should see how the a%%hats in long nose petes drive on 17. It aint the truck, its the driver. Justins imports are now doing over dimensional loads...let me tell you, its scary. They run the load onto oncoming, and illegally run after dark.
  12. In a vrbo right now 3k for a week. Not even riding. I am on the trail though. 11I
  13. There is a good amount of snow in the far north right now.
  14. The taxpayer is funding cost reductions through the Ontario government. We are not seeing the true cost of power on our monthly bills.This was done to hide the reality of what our power generation has become and to quell the outrage of the voters.We are all paying more, bit with borrowed money.
  15. People are liquidating toys to pay their mortgage.
  16. My bil has a 2018, mine is a 2021, I have used krown since new. Most likely keep it till it falls apart, as I do with most of my vehicles.
  17. Ethanol is a net loss energy. It consumes more energy to produce than it provides. It is retarded.
  18. Any trail with good snow makes me smile.
  19. There are some very very nice and solid all welded aluminum hulls for big water. King Fisher, Henley, and many others. In BC you see many on the big water. A .01 riveted aluminum is the most basic small lake fishing hull, they used to be even thinner. Lund a premium priced brand still uses rivets. Pass.
  20. Ya, I drive it about 18k per year. My issue is I like to run it in sports mode instead of eco. I do not really care about fuel economy. In regards to trail pass cost, ride the sled 250kms at 16l per 100 40 liters of fuel at 1.80 is 72 bucks in fuel per day, add in a 30 dollar lunch and you are at 100 bucks to ride per day, ride 10 days and that makes the pass 25% of the cost to ride, never mind travel maintenance and depreciation on the sled plus loss of capital gain off the money spent on the trailer and sled. most likley the total cost of the permit is less than 8% of the total cost to sled. in the big picture, 500 bucks for an ofsc pass would be just fine.
