I bought a 600 efi Expedition this year, lower hp 2 stroke and ran it through marginal snow conditions where any of our Etec's would have been heating up but was pleasantly surprised, no issues. Was a great replacement for our 550 fan GTX. Lots of grunt, smoother and much better on fuel than the old fanner

First time in 5 years the sales rep from dealer contacted me, guess they're scrounging for orders this year. For fun priced a 850 Turbo with Smart Shocks, $28,500 MSRP.....yeah, not going to happen, especially with trade in/used values so low

People are there own worst enemies

Oh my god yes, stupidity rules. I was offered engine parts, a couple trailer's, a lawn tractor that needs work, some sort of jet-boat, and the kicker.... How much just for the engine, carb and wiring?????????

Thanks, don't sell much stuff and now I know why. Posted it on Marketplace and local Buy and Sell. After several days of responding to 'Is this Available?', answering the same stupid questions that are clearly covered in the ad, receiving messages at midnight and 4:30 am I have pulled the ads. This about sums it up

Parked there last year, no problem. It was middle of week, not too busy. Lots of cops though, have your paper-work in order and watch speed down the trail

I've had this for over 10 years, used as a yard sled and running around a bit on the ice. The bad.......mice enjoyed the seat, tree fell on a perfect hood cracking it and windshield (still shuts fine) and the lower steering pivot was repaired years ago but still functions fine. The fuel tank if filled will drip where the shut off switch is, possibly just reseal threads but I never bothered. The good........like the Energizer Bunny it just keeps on firing up, drives and stops. Electric start will work with a battery and key switch (or install push button). Headlight, tail light and speedo all functioning. Handwarmers work better with a battery installed. Has a used spare belt Did a compression test by myself with hand held gauge, seems to be decent. It's a 440 fan Cooled single carb Suzuki, believe the mileage to be original and accurate. It's covered with an old boat top, secured and works well I think $500 is fair for a running, driving beater sled. Let me know what you think

Hope this year brings you health, happiness and for heavens sake SNOW!!!

Ditto!!!

Nice looking jacket!

So sad, deepest condolences to his family

Sad but true. Son has rental cabins and a local business has rented them to house East Indians who are willing to come up here and work. For the record these are nice, friendly people who work hard and appreciate the opportunity.

Yesterday in Sudbury, man they had a lot of snow. Grandson decided sledding was a better option than school

Fingers crossed, going to run up to Sudbury tomorrow for the day, last ride. I see Rocky's is closed, maybe head to River Valley for food, unless someone has any suggestions?

I can understand this. There's an underlying concern with a 2 stroke, you just never know. Never really thought about it until I bought the Mach, just gas and go. I think if Polaris sticks a small turbo on their S4 they will have a real winner, I would check it out for sure. Just have to keep the prices reasonable 🤞

I had some issues with the Mach Z last year but the dealer upgrades straightened them out, can't even imagine what a Yamacat would be like for power. Let the son give it a run to see what it would do, this is what 'Dreamometer' says

Well as it turns out........No. Groomer is fine but apparently the hydraulics on the brand new drag leak, and there is an issue with male to female connections. By the time they got it unloaded off the flatbed there was oil everywhere. Operator says it is unusable in it's current condition. He is frustrated beyond belief

That's our new to us groomer, we never got a replacement. Carling Trail Blazers were kind enough to come up and groom when they could

Well looky looky what arrived today, finally

Awesome pics!!! Haven't been up to Sudbury in several years but really enjoyed the trails. There use to be a small restaurant in River Valley that had great food, wonder if it survived Covid shut downs? The trail to get there from Sudbury was like a highway following the river

Son bought me these for Christmas, great for working outside. I use them when running around on utility sled as it's not usually going long enough for hand warmers to heat up. Batteries last 3 hours and quality seems to be decent. Works Holmes Heated Goatskin Work Gloves with Lithium-Polymer Battery (XLarge), Black : Amazon.ca: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Yipes, 26k and no smart shock option. Ski Doo needs to bring in more color options, give Polaris credit for that. Makes my Mach look like a bargain. Will be interesting to see what Polaris has to offer

Always my worse fear, wish your friend all the best for a full recovery.

According to the main Groomer operator he has done everything he can to get a groomer here. They finally sent a loaner about a month ago, 3 hours later it got stuck and spit a track. He was promised another which was re-directed somewhere else. Last Thursday received a call from transport driver picking up Groomer at repair facility in Sudbury, said he'd be down in 2 hours. Two hours later driver called to tell him when they tried to load it only one side of the drive was working, so no go. Thankfully Carling Club has helped as best as they can. Really feel sorry for the businesses taking a hit, Loggers Station house in Ardbeg and even the Shell in Pointe Au Baril as a few examples. Trails are Red on ITG but lots of people riding them anyways
