Spiderman

I use simple dollies for under the skiis and one under the track. We move them around on concrete all the time. Lightly lift the skii's up - slide underneath - velcro straps down - lift track, slide under - roll around where ever you want.

We dove into Motocross this summer - the one place we go has a great set-up - they have storage lockers on site - you can rent - put all your tools and bike etc. in there - lock it and go. Pretty smart for those who live in the city, don't want to trailer, don't have garages etc. Sledding is so expensive for the average joe - 100% weather dependent - short seasons - fuel costs added and overall costing increases to every day life - you will see an affect.

Won't change anything for me, that said, I'm glad I am not hauling a 4 place to Cochrane every weekend

Amazing work everyone! Seriously incredible to see what people are able to get done and make this all happen. I am interested to see how things go in our area as A LOT of property with trails going through appear to have changed ownership - fingers crossed new owners are "normal" and trails continue - if not - could really suck for us.

Nice! Hoping for cold snow for everyone.

My son is getting his licence this year - ( 12 years old ). I really hope it's done at the clubhouse like I did it, like my daughter got to do it too, it's really part of the experience and that is what I want for him.

My condolences to family and friends.

I would keep a little of the electric heat on then and move on. We did it for 18 years without a single issue ever. I wouldn't bother with adding a furnace in your example, would be a waste of money.

Well, if you're not going to have running water - you're concern should be minimal if anything at all. I can tell you from a claims standpoint - using Engineers etc. as to what we have done after fire losses and it's minimal if the superstructure is still standing, is closed, and is dry. There are times we have put hay bales into the basements and/or a very low heat source - but that is in cases where there might be moisture present or the superstructure is either torn down/off - or open and not closed up. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it - if you are - put a little heat in there and be done with it. Most of it, by the sounds - is also above grade. Sounds almost exactly like what our old place was like. Call an Engineer for some advice - but if the superstructure is sealed and insulated - you would not need much if anything.

In that place we did not. Sunday nights, we would drain the water - shut the pump off and set the heat to 10 and leave it. Come back friday night - crank it up - turn on the water - get the woodstove going and were in business. Would get so warm from the woodstove - held heat really well. Did that for 18 years with no issues. Power outages would happen - but never for periods of time long enough to freeze anything and with the water drained out - no biggie. In the new place, we have a generator, but it's more of a house than a cottage.

- definitely seems like a nice new toy

Our original cottage was built in 1988 - winterized - finished basement - all electric heating in basement - block foundation wall- main level electric with woodstove. During winter - we kept heat at 10 when we were not there - upstairs and downstairs - never froze and was okay coming in on friday nights at 11:00 p.m.

Tally them up and issue the claim - you never know....

Sleds arriving before Seadoos........

Thank you for the reply.

Question for you guys that are dealers - or know how they work. When a dealer is invoiced for a unit - I assume that means it's built - has a VIN etc. Once that happens - what follows? Is it built - Shipped to dist. warehouse - dist. invoices dealer - then delivered? Just curious ......

Spare relay in your purse is a must

My risk factor is as close to 0 as possible. I personally would not ever invest that kind of $$ into something on leased land - but that's just me. I wouldn't lease a car and put 10k worth of upgrades onto it either - only to turn in it 4 years later.

Good info

Big investment. Assuming this is good news!

If it's not the right place, then as terrible as it sounds, could you not sell it and then put that money towards something where you would like to be?

Yes, and they are also smart enough to invest where there is a return - and it isn't on sleds.............

Turned the furnace back on this morning!

Sleds make f-all in the scheme of “big” business.

100%. Your bill of sale - if you traded - is your contract. Unless you agree to deliver yours in advance - or your contract says otherwise, technically you get mine - when I get the one on the bill of sale, and you ( dealer ) get paid as outlined.
