  1. I picked one up for my 14 year old this year. It works great. Yes fuel milage isn’t the greatest. 80-90 miles per tank. The gauge seems to stick around the res marker for a long time. I have tried to run it empty in the field to see how many miles per tank it actually gets but haven’t got there yet. I have ridden it out tin our farm fields and it’s quite peppy and handles fairly well. $7,500 brand new or $5-6k for a 10 year old sled was how I made my decision.
  2. Yes we are 3 minutes north of town on a farm and 130 acres of farm fields for them to boot around on. Got a little citation 250 for the younger 2 kids aswell and the rail bed is 500m down the road.
  3. Just got back with 2022 Indy Evo for my 14 year old. He doesn’t even know I got him one so it’s parked out front for when he gets home off the bus. Decided in the summer to buy this instead of getting an older sled with inflated covid pricing that needed wrenching. $7,500 + HST and there’s 2 younger kids coming right up behind him.
  4. I picked up a brand new one this spring. Wanted a 5 seater but didn’t want one the length of a car. Works really well for our purposes around the property and trails. the Hastings heritage trial is 500’ from our farm so the wife and kids have gotten lots of use during the riding season while I’m at work🤦‍♂️ anyways I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one if you can find one. I drove 4 hours to dealer in North Bay to get it as they were the only dealer in Ontario with one in stock at the time I was looking.
  5. Looking at purchasing a property on Loop rd and think there’s a trail close to this property but all the pics online I find are real blurry when I zoom in on them. Does anyone have a digital copy of the map? I wish the ITG was available all year round. thanks

    PARKING

    There’s a little parking lot that not many know about at station road in Bonarlaw just north of Springbrook. Not a big lot at all. We refer to this as the Bonarlaw junction. I fully suspect the stretch of trail from here to Marmora to have lots of rocks as we haven’t really got much snow at all. Usually some washout spots thru the mine too so keep an eye for. I’ll probably get on it this weekend myself.

    PARKING

    When you’re on the E106 watch for the creek crossings. Most of the bridges are raised quite a bitter higher than the trail and if you hit them too fast you’ll launch. If you’re prepared for it they’re fine but the first time you hit one unprepared you’ll scare the crap out of yourself. E106 is 500’ from my place near Stirling and I’ve done the railbed way too many times into Bancroft. Once your south of 7 it’s the crossings that the farmers have from one side to another that sneak up on you. It’s a fast rip to Bancroft that’s for sure.
  8. This entire Covid thing seams so overkill in my area but also have zero problems riding in my region which will keep most of the yahoo’s away. I’ve been a Ford supporter all along but these new lockdown rules should only be for specific regions only IMO. I guess one bad apple ruins it for all as we have seen way too many times in this amazing sport we all cherish
  9. I found the same one but it was the instructions for my kids online learning
  10. 4 years ago from Bancroft to Pembroke my wife and I hit 2 ride programs. -HWY at 62 & 28 -Just before Whitney Then stopped when we were pulled over at blow belt alley heading into Pembroke as I was changing over the belt on the wife’s sled.
  11. A buddy of mine lost a brand new 2013 Pro X on Lake St Peter. Never retrieved sled and got a new one from insurance a few weeks after. We were all parked in a group and it didn’t just drop real quick, front end first which gave him time to get away. He didn’t even get wet.
  12. Same here for me in district 2. I looked at pics in my phone from last year and my first ride (locally) was Jan 28. Trailered up to Bancroft the week earlier but mid January is the regular time of year us in district 2. No snow on ground and not much in the 14-day forecast I’m pretty sure this lockdown won’t affect sledding in district 2 too much.
  13. I have 8 trailers. Mostly for work. Only enclosed is my aluminum hybrid sled trailer. If all my open flat decks or landscape trailers are empty the sled trailer the worst one to pull. It’s by far the lightest of the fleet however the toughest to pull because it acts like a kite. I have a F250 with the 6.2 gasser and hauling down 401 I’m probably 22L/100km. The 35s definitely don’t help the mileage but who buys a truck for good fuel economy. I’m also not the easiest on the pedal as I’m trying to get to/from a job site or to sled destination.
  14. The E107 from Apsley to County Rd 46 is probably my most favourite trails to ride. Was on it Friday and loved every minute of it.
  15. Thanks All. We ended going west to Apsley around Jack Lake instead of east into Coe Hill. I must tell you the E107 up from Havelock, 746 & 707 were in really good shape. Freshly groomed and real tight. Actually had the scratchers down. Started at our farm in Stirling 230km in total. Got the kids on the bus and got back just in time to get them off the bus
