    Studs is what is needed. just drive in QC in a bad weather day and see those crazy buggers fly by you or pass on roads that are ice…lol Then pass the ones flipped over or in the ditch a few km up the road that assume don’t have studs.

    Great day for a round of golf!
  4. Lots of life left in the 800 then. perhaps your sons next ride and you get back on a POO, when we get winters again and time permits.
  5. Or a collectors item !!
  6. What sort of miles do you have on that retro?
  7. Kudos to you, that’s great to be able to say that, I personally won’t spend much time or effort searching for deals, I’ll look of course when I’m ready to buy, then make a decision and pull trigger….i don’t think I have the patience to look and hold out for something I’m ready to buy.
  8. Buy for the now enjoyment, not the future......its a toy to have fun, not an investment. Assume loses, if you cannot stomach that, move on.
  9. oh my.....has to be pre-tax. Just insane
  10. It is early March and blasts of winter may still come in the north, but how much water will be flowing..... Close to preserve in hopes things can be salvaged. This was from the Polar Bears Club: We are going to be closing all of our trails today at 5pm due to the current warm weather with rain predicted overnight. Please note, we are not throwing in the cards for the season. We are ready to do what we can to reopen our trail network whenever/if winter decides to return! - Jesse
  11. Yep, and for that other reason, the sport is slowly dieing from a rider to a volunteer standpoint. Agreed, stupid money spent, that makes non-current left over that much more appealing vs. latest MY sled if you are so inclined to buy....but you are still taking a hit on selling your old sled for the "new one", if you sell that is. There will always be a cost for having fun, each person has a different threshold for that given their life situation, stupid part of spending the money is not being able to enjoy it......I think most in the sport today will be okay spending the $$, if it can be enjoyed - that was a big hurtle this year no doubt, which as you say, leads to considering other options instead to spend your money on. 2025 season will be better for riding option, it has to be! Maybe not for sled manufactures/dealers though.....
  12. It seems like a record that has been played the last little while over and over, but with this year under our belt, that affected ON and even QC a fair amount, might be a major change in the tides for sure. The sport I beleive is still mostly made up of folks between 45 and 65, and for most in that bracket, financial freedoms are looking pretty good......but how dedicated will this group continue to be with winters likes this.
  13. Funny how perspective does weird things.... Similar thoughts here, but now, not so much.
  14. Ya, sledding crowd is older around here, and really overall in general. What ya ride I don’t think is a factor most think of when riding, other than perhaps a sled not looked after causing potential break down, but even new sleds leave you stranded. Same as pace, a slower reasonable rider is not that far behind when you stop at intersections to wait for all to catch up, plus is it really about the race to get to your destination or about the ride it takes to get there, at whatever pace and enjoying that. It seems things change more so due to weather, conditions or peoples life that changes, that cause a change in plans. Personality conflicts might be a bigger factor for some.
  15. Tisk, tisk…..that ramsomair clearly doesn’t play well in the sand box….lol
