That's for processing, handling and shipping. That's how the 3rd party company gets paid for processing the order on their systems, packaging on their mailing equipment and sending them to you. Not just postage which is the smallest portion of the $7 cost.

No sign of mine today... I'm like a kid waiting for the mailman to arrive.

If it's not warranty I go with Wild Bill at Rosseau Rd. just south of Parry Sound. It's a long drive for me but I believe it's worth the drive for service I can trust.

Yeah... I thought of that last year and held onto it then but she is definitely done.

My wife has decided she is done with sledding. Time to sell her barely used 2015 Arctic Cat ZR7000 El Tigre. It has 763 km on the odometer. 135 HP Yamaha 3 cylinder fuel injected 4 stroke engine, Arctic race suspension, air shocks and pump, heated seat, tilt handlebars, mid height windshield, Arctic Cat mirrors, side panel wind deflectors, spare belt, 9.9 gal / 37.5 l fuel capacity. Instrument cluster includes, trip 1, trip 2 and full odometer, hour meter, clock, speedometer, temperature bar gauge with a numeric temp display, fuel gauge bar, voltage meter, 1.25 in. rip saw track, 12 V power outlet, adjustable ski stance and more. The heated seat was a big plus according to my wife. She did one ride each season and invariably it was a very cold day. It has been serviced each season and kept in a fully enclosed trailer. It was started last week for the first time since being serviced for summer storage and fired up right away without any hesitation. Mint condition. I hate to sell it but if she is done she is done. Asking $8,900.00 for a sled that had a list price of approx. $16,000.00

I can follow instructions as well as the next guy. There are online videos and written step by step directions. I choose to have it done by a professional marine mechanic for me. I see it as cheap insurance. The person who does mine has been a mechanic for about 40 years now. A good friend did his own a number of years ago based on people telling him how easy it was. In the spring he put the boat in the water and set off from the dock. He pushed the throttle and the boat didn't pop up on plane as usual. The bilge was filling with water. He missed one drain plug in the fall. If I recall it was on a cooling component and fortunately not the engine block. It was an expensive repair that cost far more than winterizing would have been. That was the last time he did it himself.

as I understand it the GRCA expects the OFSC insurance policy to also cover those who use the trails in the summer and non-snowmobilers in the winter

you're mistaken... they are out for both... this is my clubs trail He's closing off access to his property period. Too many ATV's cut padlocks on gates (they carry bolt cutters). Too many ATV riders stupidly assume that if it's a snowmobile trail it's automatically an ATV trail as well. Some when confronted by landowners telling them they are trespassing have told the landowners they have a right to be there since it's a snowmobile trail. Yes... one of the ATV clubs had a problem with people not buying permits. They got paid duty OPP to be on their trails at the dates and times they specified. Word spread quickly. The increased permit revenue more than covered the cost of the paid duty OPP.

It is C trail south of Port Severn. It's our clubs trail

If I recall all floating bridges must be removed by a specific date... has to do with navigation so yes it is essential. As for building the understanding I have is that current residential projects already underway can continue. New projects are not to be started. Emergency repairs such as roof, windows etc. can be performed as well.

It's because of the Quebec insurance laws, the limits of liability and so many other regulations that are different https://www.autotrader.ca/newsfeatures/20160315/car-insurance-differences-from-province-to-province/

Whenever you have a challenge with the carbides catching on the edge of the ramp whether it be where it meets the ground or in the gap between the trailer bed and the ramp a piece of the black plumbing drain pipe can solve the problem. If you're loading put the pipe at the edge of the ramp on the ground. Being round the carbide will run up and over then onto the ramp ski guides. Same thing with the gap. For me loading isn't a problem but when backing out the rear of the carbides tend to catch the front edge of the ramp at the gap. The pipe sitting in the gap prevents them from catching.

with the way our justice system seems to work these days I hope you're right but I bet they won't be locked up at all

it was $5,000 for each item... 3 counts - 1 for each sled and 1 for the trailer

It is true for your car or truck on a closed road... good question about the snowmobile on a closed trail.

Apparently the turnout was great and there was a lot more snow from Six Mile Lake north than there was from there south. Three of us set out from Port Severn Amco and ran Little Lake as soon as we could but turned back at the intersection of C & 19 with lots of exposed rock and dirt visible. Two of the sleds were overheating. We had to stop 3 times to let them cool down and it just wasn't worth jeopardizing their engines.

If you're out riding this weekend the club is having a BBQ on Saturday at the monument on C trail

X2 - never ran across an officer who wasn't professional.... I can see how if someone gives them attitude about being stopped and checked they may start checking everything and writing tickets when they find a violation that otherwise would have gotten a warning.

X2 - like the OPP keep saying No ice is safe ice... if you don't know don't go. Too much at stake. Often people see sled tracks and assume it's safe.... could be the tracks are from someone weighing 140 lbs on a 400 lb sled doing 80 kph. The 220 lb guy riding the 600 lb sled doing 40 kph says it's safe. See there's the tracks. Then he goes for a swim

law states it clearly

simple solution... follow the low and don't swap out your exhaust system. They have large signs posted in the area. The land owners are getting royally annoyed by cans and will close trails.

Your helmets should have come with breath deflectors to address fogging. The alternative is a heated visor to replace the ones you have that plug into the sled and there is a spray you can get that helps

a dusting overnight in Toronto but snowing pretty good now. Hopefully the trails around G-Bay are getting some much needed snow.

I've seen that... key for them though is they have a helicopter following them for instant rescue.
