02Sled

Unfortunately it would become known to others and suddenly every landowner would want the same free permit or permits or something else of equivalent value if they weren't snowmobilers. I could be mistaken but I believe there are other legal implications particularly regarding liability and the insurance as soon as the landowner accepts payment for the trail crossing their property. I believe it opens the landowner to increased liability.

I renewed the sleds online months ago and had the stickers within a week. I don't know what the timeline would be now with the Christmas / New Year holidays though. Many people think that if they don't renew their val tags they are getting away without paying for it. Really all they are doing is delaying the payment. When you do renew you will need to pay up for the past you didn't pay for and the current year.

These guys used to head out onto Georgian Bay from Waubaushene on April 1. They were also followed by helicopter though.

I knew a bunch of guys that rode bulls... our joke was... how do you become a bull rider? Fill your mouth full of marbles. Each time you get on a bull spit out one of the marbles. When you've lost all of your marbles then you're a bull rider. Our best man was even more crazy. He was a rodeo clown. He figured at least he gets paid for every rodeo and his motto was "feet don't fail me now". Bull rider gets dumped and the clown runs up slaps the bull in the side of the head and then hopes he can outrun it. I went for the tame stuff. Bareback and saddle bronc were crazy too, not quite as crazy as the bull riders though.

I live south of Pearson airport... traffic is MUCH lighter than usual. Mall and office building parking lots are essentially empty. Around the neighbourhood the driveways that are normally empty are full with people likely working from home.

Most of the checks I have come across have been the same... slow down... if you weren't obviously speeding drive by with trail permit and val tag visible and OEM sounding exhaust... keep on going when you get a thumbs up. Have one of those missing or a noisy sled, expect to get stopped and everything checked.

I spoke to an OPP in Midland area once. While he watched for all the usual, registration, insurance and trail permit his pet peeve was modified exhaust. He said absolutely no forgiveness for that with him.

Typically I trade in every 4 to 5 years. The longest I have ever kept one was 6 years and that was because the km's were below my 4 to 5 year typical. I always buy instead of lease and when I trade in it has a good residual value. Typically there has been a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty and a 5 year power train warranty. I want confidence that when I turn the key it's going to start and get me where I want to go.

But it's not red for the people that live in that area. For them it's green.

It would be interesting if area X, area Y and area Z were in the same category so the interconnecting trails were all groomed and open. Then things change and area Y changes category. The trails in all areas are still open but they want you to not travel from one different category region to the next. How do you stop people from riding from X through the different category Y and into the category Z areas.

I guess I'm just too cautious. I don't care if there are tracks I'm sticking to the marked trail. There's a string of lakes and portages heading north from Swift Rapids. Every now and then you see tracks bypass the portages out on the ice going around a point or through a narrow channel. I don't care. Some young puppy on a 400 lb. sled who weighs 150 lb. rips through there doing 90 and makes it doesn't mean that someone like me can on my 600 lb sled weighing much more than 150 and doing less than 90 can. I haven't come close to going swimming. But then some thought I was insane in my younger days when I competed in steer wrestling. Sliding off the side of a horse at a full run, grabbing a running steer by the horns, digging my heels into the dirt and twisting the steer onto the ground.

At 24 I believe I was wise enough to not do truly stupid things that would put my life at risk... especially when it was very obviously dangerous.

Looks promising... apparently they have about 12 inches in Wasaga... southern Georgian Bay area could be soon...

where is this?

About 4 inches in Toronto south of Pearson Airport. Spoke to a friend just northeast of Dundalk and the grass is barely covered.

Does that mean that the idiots outside of the GTA that go to each others houses and party etc. are given a pass. I know more idiots outside of the GTA that are having large gatherings than I do inside the GTA. Most of them around southern Georgian Bay... "nobody but nobody is going to tell me I can't party at Christmas" is what many are saying... and not just the young puppies either Nope... the entitled will always be entitled... you can't fix stupid.

or an air boat... quite popular in the Honey Harbour area for accessing island cottages

London is the trans Atlantic hub. North America to London and then connect to Europe Asia

so far...

she's even dumber than I thought... she says he's doing everything wrong but doesn't come up with any alternatives My money says he's at home collecting the federal money... The mutated virus was identified in the UK and they are locked down... they aren't leaving the country since they are banned from entering other countries... much like Americans are unwelcome in other countries.

Just announced province wide shut down Dec 26 to Jan 23.

Very well said... oh my what a horrible hardship we are living. For most of us our parents and grandparents actually know what hardship is... they lived through horrible times. In comparison the pandemic is a walk in the park. WW1 WW2 and the depression. If you think you have it bad because you may not be able to sled... ask those who lost absolutely everything. The people of London England who endured daily bombings, hiding in the subways at night. The rationing of EVERYTHING including food. You didn't have a ration coupon you didn't get food. The people who endured trench warfare standing crotch deep in feces, urine, water and mud. Families that had their entire male generation wiped out. The countries of Europe were far worse off than Canada.

Not quite...people are not allowed into Canada from the US for tourism purposes. Actually the US is shut out of travel to almost every country in the world. Trudeau is however dragging his feet on banning travel from the UK which due to a new strain of the virus is in full lockdown. The government of Canada can't really stop people from exiting Canada. That is up to the destination country as to whether they will allow Canadians in.

Far better than dying and not living at all. Actually they shut down marinas prior to the May 24 weekend but then they opened... just later than usual. They were allowed to provide docking to customers who needed it to get to water access residences during the general shut down. The local municipalities were left to decide if their public launches were open or closed. Some townships had theirs open others didn't. If you had a boat in the water and or access to a launch ramp you were able to boat. Not if all non-essential business is shut down. I'm sure Sledjunk and his family as well as the families of the thousands who have died think differently... as would the entitled as soon as it hits someone they care about.

Shhh! Trudeau will want all those building torn down so he can save the world single handed... don't forget the deep concern for the methane gas given off by animals
