I'm well aware my friend. 👍

Let's hope that is right because TWN has nothing more than 5 cms for anywhere in Ontario in their 14 day forecast.

Same here, when I'm done with it I want it gone.

Merry Christmas everyone.

If you check the cottages around Lake Conestogo on google satellite, you'll see plenty of swimming pools because those people won't swim in the lake....lol

Prices are coming back to reality, particularly at the dealers. I've seen some good bargains on 1-2 year old sleds.

Today I see every station is back up to $1.45…..lol I have accepted that the new normal is $1.50/ so let’s just set it and forget it already.

Went to Orillia yesterday, saw a high of $1.42 down to $1.31 along the way. Seems most are now around the $1.32 for Regular.

I think he means its going below zero for a high. THIS is our big hope now so we can use the "At least we are getting frost in the ground" line. God I hate this sport. Its too bad I love it so much when it happens.

I wish I had a picture of my bedroom as a kid. I had snowmobile wallpaper and the Skidaddler was one of the sleds repeted in the print. Ya, I was thinking Arctic Cat too but I can't see much of it. We need to send Muskoka Man back for a better pic. 😁

I thought that too but the only pictures I could find online showed a Round headlight. The hood is for sure of the same gene pool. Ok, now I found one. It seems the 1970 Widetrack 25 version came with the rectangular head light, the larger bumper and the square fuel door.

Raining here in southern Ontario right now. TWN says its raining in Cochrane and Hearst. No snow currently in the 2 week forecast in Ontario. Booooo...lol I'm heading for Florida on the 28th for 2 weeks. Doesn't look like I will miss any sledding.

Never would have guessed #4 as an Arctic Cat. You think #9 may be a Ski-Roule? This was an image I found online. There were several manu's who put the headlight out front like that but the beltline made me think AMF/Skidaddler.

#1 Rupp #2 Motoski. #3 Boa-ski maybe? #5 Snow-Hawk #9 Skidaddler/AMF #10 Mercury #11 Motoski #14 Evinrude

That's cheap!

I'm seeing posts on Facebook where people have the same issue with a youth on a sled. Most commenting are saying The Personal and Desjardins will still insure kids with the snowmobile operator certificate. But the lady who started the topic was declined by The Personal. But there are several who say TD still does as well. But if they haven't called in to make a change in their policy then maybe they haven't been told yet?

That sucks. TD never used to care. Did they contact you to tell you this?

South will have a green Christmas for sure. Maybe New Years as well. Sad. Hope it goes better up your way Soup.

TD's pricing is based on Price for the Comprehensive portion. Looking at my policy, I pay the same rate for my Cat Turbo as I do for my wife's Renegade 900 as far as Liability and accident benefits, $1mil coverage on each. When I get to the comprehensive section, I pay $72 for the Cat (valued at $6500, $500 deductible) and $106 for the Renegade (valued at $15k, $1000 deductible). Not sure how the 2 deductibles got to be different, but this is probably the first time I actually looked at the numbers....lol

Called TD Insurance yesterday to add the Mach Z to my current policy. 20 minute conversation verifying who I was and the details of the sled, with a nice lady and she says "I'm sorry, the system is down. Please call back another time." lol I called today and talked with another nice lady who was obviously on a headset (muffled), English for a second language, and working from home (she apologized for her screaming cat in the background). We managed to get through the process. Hard to believe this is now the norm for communication with a large corporation. 2022 Mach Z, valued at $20k, $1m Liability, Comprehensive with $500 deductible, no collision, $519 for the year tax included.

Towards the Reopening of the Trail Between La Cache and Murdochville in 2025? It is clear that this decision was not made lightly but out of concern for the safety of all users. It is expected that the situation will be rectified in preparation for the 2025 season, allowing us to once again enjoy this splendid trail. In the meantime, it is advisable to make alternative arrangements for the upcoming season. This is from Sledmagine.com https://sledmagazine.com/category/news/regions-news-2/gaspesie-iles-de-la-madeleine-regions-news-2/ I seen on Facebook that the trail has been removed from the map for this season now as well.

I signed up for the email last year. I got an email to renew my sleds and my personal vehicles. They still mail out for my commercial vehicles.

Yes, we all need to support this. When the GRCA denied access, the club was forced to reroute the trail to the nearest bridge over the river as the rail allowed riders to cross at the dam. This trail is currently a tough scratch through ditches and a 1/4 mile of pavement. I imagine the club gets steady complaints from the property owners along this stretch as riders search out snow on yards and cross driveways to avoid the long road run. Link is in the first post.

I've never done a lien search. Probably a good idea though. Yes, legally, if you sell a used vehicle in Ontario you are required to provide the used vehicle package to the purchaser. That said, I've bought several trucks over the years and never received a used vehicle package. I usually get one for them when I switch over the ownership, just out of curiosity.
