02Sled

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. It's a duck. There are some obvious no question scenarios. Stop someone and they are carrying an unpermitted gun. There aren't any excuses, They are a criminal. Too bad we have to go through all the court cost to lock them up. Open the car door and the driver spills out onto the ground then blows way over the legal limit. Don't try and tell me they aren't drunk. Go directly to jail, do not pass go.

Not saying it's right or it's wrong but asking the question.... maybe many of the buyers were not wanting that heavy bumper, the tunnel bag, the mirrors or the multiple trip meters and asking if they could get the sled without it. It's easier to add the things you want than to try and take off the things you don't when you make the purchase.

Then why would you make a statement I've been in many huts where the lights don't work, the leaves from the fall are still in a corner, the stove is cold, (if the stove pipes are still attached, and haven't been stolen,) and there are broken chairs etc... all around. Why would I bother to clean up, if the club cant. (not that I leave a mess)

Dave K made a comment I've been in many huts where the lights don't work, the leaves from the fall are still in a corner, the stove is cold, (if the stove pipes are still attached, and haven't been stolen,) and there are broken chairs etc... all around. Why would I bother to clean up, if the club cant. (not that I leave a mess) I was suggesting he should clean it up rather than expect a volunteer to clean up FOR HIM. I have picked up garbage I have found trailside including a few shredded belts. I clean it up rather than EXPECTING the club to do that. I am part of the club but that isn't why I do it.

How about you clean up as appreciation for it being there in the first place. Rather than expect a club volunteer to do it for you.

Really... so now those doing enforcement all need to be equipped with RF scanners which for the most part need to be in very close proximity. Then what do you do when the rider can pass his uniquely chipped permit from one rider to another. Tell you what I'll ride the odd days of the month then give you my card for the even days of the month. Just not practical. Mind you there is a company in Switzerland that is micro-chipping their employees under the skin just like pets rather than using access cards for secure access areas. In a time when people feel entitled to ride wherever and whenever they want on private property you really think an honour system would work.... okay.... I have some swamp land in Florida for you.

It's about $75 / hr. for a paid duty OPP. I bet if the OFSC started paying for permit enforcement by the OPP they would quickly recover the expense. Word would get around quickly and non compliance wouldn't be a problem.

And how do you know if the rider has a permit or not? Do you stop everyone and ask them to pull it out of their pocket.? Should the person who owns multiple cars or pickups only buy one plate?

From what I have read it is "Arctic Grade" and will blow through whatever ice is there.

There's a cure for that...distraction. Buy a boat or ATV Big thank you to all the club volunteers and groomer operators. Without you there just wouldn't be any trails

For that new Yamaha you ordered?

I'm not that gullible on April 1

On the unlock screen for mine it has my email address and my wife's cell phone number.

I read somewhere that the real problem comes to light in the spring when the current is really strong due to thaw and run off. The sled goes straight down but the rider gets swept away by the current and then under the ice. The current is too strong for them to make it back to the open water.

The Christmas tree has lasted this long a bit longer won't hurt.... start a new trend.... an Easter tree
