  1. judging from the point of impact on the black sled and the position they are sitting, at the point of impact both sleds must have been on the wrong side.....looks like both parties ran out of talent to me......there is plenty of realestate there to work with. It's an all new kind of stupid out there these days.

    What is price comparison between top of line Ontario built and USA built?

     

    All use same axles and aluminum side panels by looks of pictures.  

    Mark and Brenda of Brenmar are awesome, If I had the time I would have ordered from them, mine was a last minute purchase.

  3. in 17 I tried dealing with those jack rods, I did not want leaf spring suspension, I wanted torsion axles, the guy was telling me that torsion axles were no good and would not work properly for my application. I informed him that if they were the proper axles for the proper weight classification, they would work just fine. All they had on the lot were leaf sprung trailers. I went to Chestermens and bought a pace himark with torsion axles, no questions asked. Action called me back to see if I wanted to buy a trailer.......the place is a joke. It is also very close to me, 20mins er so.

    Im waiting for this to spill over to sledding.  IMO, its coming..

    I am skeptical, MTO permit, the sport provides a huge tax revenue and it is an outdoor activity that you are essentially doing individually. I think they have put enough rules on it that it should remain on the essential list.

  5. It can happen and it looks just like that, skis hooked opposite of each other around the tree. I had a misshap north of Latchford years ago on my t cat, didnt damage the hood but made a mess of the bracing behind the front bumper and knocked all three pipes out of the couplers on the engine. Not an easy task of getting it out, plus mine was a good 6 to 7 feet off the ground

  6. alcohol coupled with speed and limited visabilty, it was snowing extremely hard. Very sad that these things happen......I look back at 24, I have no room to judge, condolences to the family the young man leaves behind.

     

    I understand the frustration in others posts, it is a sport that takes a great amount of scrutiny from non snowmobiling public. These types of avoidable incidents just keep piling on, we need to live with it, we clearly cannot stop it.

    Well, sometimes I know that it was just a clearance issue.

    IDK if there is another reason to doo this or not.

    Possibly getting the body down into the cooling of the snow a bit better maybe?

    doesn't   matter which way a shock is mounted, rebound and compression does not change with shock orientation.

    Good Idea, but I can see with my luck cracking the windshield when I drill it....thanks for the suggestion though

    doesn't matter, the permit need to be permanently attached to the vehicle......bolts are removable . I would just place it on the hood/cowling in or as close to the approved location below the windscreen.

    I know. Im not on the Facebook bandwagon either, but im not going to deny it works for my sledding info..

    I was forced to join it to get racing information, tracks don't update their websites like they do their facebook page......I fought it for years, but the one that was missing out was me. Its a great tool, lots of info there.

    I wondered the same thing, Yukon, as Muskoka Man is a nice fellow. I looked back in the thread, and saw the comment about how local cash reserves had to be used for a similar situation, at another location - - which does sound appropriate. One of many reasons why districts need to maintain a reserve for sudden unexpected issues.

    when operations are run through the district and there is a strong trail committee, the list of resources is very impressive. To bad there wasn't cooperation system wide, cause it works.

    Old rail bridge North east of Sudbury, the official trail goes around it now, there are no railings or sides so you want to be SLOWLY going across. Its not in the best of shape, but the view is spectacular.

    I've rode that bridge many times on an atv.....it is high

  12. Todd- what's in the area for accomodation if someone came out from GTA for a weekend? Any sledder friendly motels etc. with trail access that you know of?(will check revrnd's list later but thinking you know some places)

    Forest Golf & Country Club, the trail is right across the hi-way. The Oakwood, in Grand Bend, trail head is across the hi-way. There are other Motels in Grand Bend, but trail access is difficult even when u know the area. If u stay in Forest, u will start ur riding on the Warwick S/C trails, if u start in GB u will b on the Pineridge S/C trails.
