Shame on the insurance companies really. If I'm paying to insure my toy why should it matter where I'm storing it. They're always looking for an out.
Totally agree but I'd rather be sure I have the coverage. It 's really too bad my insurance agent didn't ask me about storage because he knows I have a boat.
-
As an FYI, I found out earlier this year that my insurance company requires that I let them know if I have anything insured through them stored at an off site location. My boat is stored at an indoor cold storage facility. My insurance company requires the exact location, type of building, security features as well as fire suppression features and a few other questions. They charge me an extra $29.00 per year for the off site coverage.
I'm mentioning this as I am sure that there are many like me that might not realize this notification is required by some insurance companies.

Well, mine is better than dial up, but that's aboot it.
In case anyone here is interested, and missed it, the first post has a reply on it linking what some other guys did back in 2000.
also:
A fella that I have met from Hearst and a buddy of his made a run all the way up to Resolute back in the early 'naughts, but I haven't seen their page up in many years now. Too bad!
One more linked story [from 1970] from Post 1:
Thanks for posting the links Ox. I've only read the first one of the 3 guys riding Alaska to Maine on 550 Polaris which is a very well written story of the 6000 mile trip.

I have it up on FB.
[currently] The bottom post says "Day 6"
It looks like 12/19/22 is the first post on the page.
I have to wait a bit on mine for some more to load when I get to the bottom of the page. I think it is because our internet is slow on weekends, mornings and evenings.

Does anyone know if there is a way to read it in order?
I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page, and the bottom post says "Day 6".
So replies or whatnot have buggared the time table.
Anyone know how to navigate that any better?

I'm following it on F/B Ox. It starts on Day 2 there.

Welcome to the forum AlleyCat! Lots of info and a few laughs around here.

I've got half a dozen stakes left to pull and a couple of small piles of stakes to pick up then done for season. The frosty mornings we have had helped a lot.

If you have access to Facebook and haven't already, search for the above title for a very interesting read. These 3 retirement aged guys are riding new Arctic cats from Park Rapids, Minnesota to Fairbanks, Alaska. There are F/B posts for each day which detail what has happened and how far they got. Yesterday was day 26 and they are at Fort McPherson which is in the Northwest Territories.

Shows how important to develop a pattern prior to riding. Always put your equipment (phones, glasses, keys) in the same pocket or compartment each and every time. Also get in the habit to always close your bags immediately after getting out what you need. It has taken me a few season to perfect the location of all my stuff.

Right on. My bibs have a pocket on the front of both legs just above the knees. Wallet goes in left and phone in right. I always close the zippers when they go in and when I sit down onto the sled I reach down and feel for both before lift off.

Read similar info - Robinson's was holding the mortgage and new owner is struggling financially, defaulted, etc......
So I am guessing once the legal piece is overcome, it will resume under old owner, just a guess though of course.
Read this just now on F/B:
Robinson’s General Store in Dorset has found its new owners.
Joanne Robinson, whose family founded the iconic business, wrote on Facebook that brothers Ven Komina and Satya Jyesta will take over operations.
According to Robinson, the new family is targeting early April to reopen, taking a few weeks to transition back to full service.
The business had been open since 1921 but closed at the start of January. She says like the community, her family was both disappointed and devastated when they learned the store closed in January and have been working in the background to get the business back open.
“We look forward to the community welcoming the new people and giving them all the support they need to allow the store to thrive again,” said Robinson.

To the bar baby!
That's basically what a Skidoo dealer principle told my Dad when we were picking up 2 new sleds in late 1971. I had no problem with that!

I like the idea of motion lights, used to be a dust pan in there as well.
Somebody stole a dust pan??? What is this world coming to!

From North Bay Snowmobile Club Facebook page just now: (They groom to Temagami)
We are coming the the end of the season soon. We have started to move our groomers back to their “summer homes”. Rain is coming this week & our goal if possible is to keep the trails open till the end of the weekend. We will advise if this changes, so I wouldn’t make any definite plans for NBSC trails.It is the 1st day of spring & we all know it’s coming to an end here, but if you still have that itch to ride I’m sure the gang father north will be happy to see you for a little longer.Please refer to the ITG for up to date trail status.-

Oil easy today. Just fed x or Amazon deliveries ahead of time to each resort 😎.
Engines last well today. Engine last thing I worry about really. Drive bearings and clutch usually go before an engine. 4 stroke have to rebuilt those items too.You should do some research on engine reliability. Here's a quote from Jackstraw on QR of late: "2 blocks on the mach Z not including the original in 16,000 miles".

Thanks for taking the time to profile your trip
enjoyed following your route. Looks like a great time.Curious- where did you park at new liskeard?
ms
By the location of the flag in the picture and the other sled trailer, it looks to me like the trailer parking area at the Quality inn.

Thanks for the info!
There is a significant snow event happening north of there today and tomorrow. In Timmins they are calling for up to 50 cm. ( 20") so trails to the north should be good for a while yet. You might want to consider driving a couple of hours further north to stage.

Another post from North Bay Snowmobile Club 30 minutes ago:
We have moved trails to limited. We are coming close to an end of our season The rain has really effected us this time.
There will be some changes in status after we assess, no significant snow fall is coming our way unfortunately.
We will keep you posted but boy was it great season with what Mother Nature dealt us! We appreciated all the riders that visited NBSC trails & District 11 this season, our volunteers, groomer operators, local businesses, supporters & our gracio…

Looking to start just north of North Bay on Sunday. Any weather updates would be appreciated.
Thanks

This is a F/B post from the North Bay Snowmobile club 12 hours ago 🙂 (They groom the area north of North Bay)
Mother Nature looks like she’s had a change of plans
We were hoping for a nice fresh dump of snow to get the trails back to nicer riding conditions but more rain & less snow now. If this happens it will change the trail conditions & likely status. We are crossing our fingers for one last time this season to keep things open.
Check ITG for up to date trail statusKNOW BEFORE YOU GOThank you for everyone’s continued support for NBSC & District 11 clubs ! -

Go to mattawa and ride it’s usually much better. I stay at golf and ski and no pavement that way. If river crossing is still open easy to get to trails above mattawa and avoid D.
What about the 2.5 km of plowed Moosehead Road that is A112A you have to ride after you get off the river? Is it easy this time of year?
