I don’t think we are winning.
This scares me. So if someone goes around the corner and there is a walker with a dog and someone coming other way. It could be a disaster if ofsc not going to cover it. There are lots of multi use trails near towns. If pedestrians realize they aren’t covered they might lobby to get snowmobiles banned. I can see this becoming a topic in many council meetings across the province.Pedestrians are covered for AB and BI if they are struck by a sled - regardless of the OFSC.
People need to be better educated on insurance and our legal system

Muskoka in my opinion are behind where they normally would be.
Cold is on the way - but no real significant cold before.

I had a 2011 Dakota with a 4.7V8 and I loved that truck. It was the perfect size for my uses. I wish Dodge/Ram would bring it back.
I had an 04 and an 09 and loved both of those trucks.
Shame Dodge is only making transport trucks these days

As we sit and await sleds and snow, what's everyone's thoughts on some of these guys asking prices for sleds?. Seriously, who's that desperate that you would actually pay theses crazy prices. Hard to believe someone would actually pay this. Thoughts?.

I don't know who would - but if it continues, the sport will kill itself with this.
Marginal weather and a handful of people willing to spend/part with that kind of money for a "toy" are few and far between.
When BRP launched the Sparx - it saved the PWC market and brought in a tonne of new people.
It might be time for the sled guys to start looking in that direction too

I’m not sure why they sold - maybe at it long enough and time to hang up the reins…. I think it was around 15 years of ownership.
I believe it was for sale for about a year before local cottage owners bought it….. I thought I remember seeing the listing a little while ago prior to them announcing the sale, might be wrong.
Property values at an all time high
No to limited inventory to sell
Gas makes 0
Lockdowns - Covid restrictions - etc. etc. etc.
Get out while you can.
Good business decision

Sounds awfully fun.
Have only been to Moosonee in the summer time.
Ridden Cochrane more times than I can count.
Don't have the sled for this type of trip though
-
Don't have the phone app and not a tech guy.
My only way is to check on line - or ask around and go!
Looks good to me though.
Lets get the season going

Just the helmet for me.
The Tekvest is too un-comfortable - I'll take my chances

good time to be "working from home" for some
As a sledder, I wish I lived in places like that.

I had water in my rink this time the last 3 years.
I could cut the lawn in a t-shirt right now.
14 day sucks too

2 million on a sled. Td won’t give that out. I better switch been looking for higher coverage last few years. Thanks.
Its an Auto Policy - did you ask and they said specifically said no? and if that is the case - have them explain their reasoning.
I just renewed mine @ TD - Specified Perils as it's a 2012 - $343.00 done.

I don't consider myself old, but geez I feel old looking around and seeing the technology going on - it's too much for me personally- but sure must be fun for those who get it.

I think I remember you posting that you have an insurance background so i will ask the question. How would a claim go given the information in the posts above? Would the insurance company cover the loss? If they did cover it would they then go after SkiDoo for the dollars involved if SkiDoo had released sleds with inadequate startup security?
You would need to review your policy to be sure.
Theft is covered - so long as you're not involved in it.
I don't recall anything in the fine print of the OAP excluding theft losses because of a security feature absent - unless stated otherwise.
If you leave the keys in your car and running - and it's stolen - is it still covered?

So let me get this straight, buddy is out there on a sled, is not allowed to operate a motor vehicle obviously due to past trouble, has a valid arrest warrant against him so they arrest him and let him go, hoping he'll show up to face charges??? Did I read that right ❓
You read it right.
But god forbid, don't take your mask off indoors........

Would anyone be surprised if they do not go for that or close to it.....
People's sleds are not ready, Dec is a few days away, emotions are going to start flaring soon and desperate times, calls for desperate measures.....sledders are a different breed.
How many times have you heard stories of guys on trips having a major failure and buy a new sled sitting on the showroom floor at a local dealer.
Witnessed it - went into a Polaris dealer while we were on a trip because my buddy needed a new electric shield cord- there was a guy in there - on a trip as well - he had a pretty large failure - he said to the guy - "how much for this one here - guy have him a price - he said how long to get it ready - they said a couple hours - he said do it - i'm going for lunch - have it ready ".
We were in early 20's and were like - that's awesome:
Also, when I was 14 - my dad and 2 of his buddies took me and 2 of my buddies on a trip.
We launched from Sudbury.
My dad's friend had $8,000.00 in cash with him - ( most I had seen at that time ) - I asked him why he would have that - he said if this piece of crap breaks down - its staying here - i'll buy a new sled.

Snowmobile Trips
in Main Clubhouse
Posted
Not sure how the new rules affect your trips - other than in Quebec - you better be off the trails by 10....,lol, and in Ontario - you can only ride then sit in your room all night.
Such BS - but good for you guys going through with it.
