  1. Gary always remembered the anniversary of my brother’s death. Fifty years ago this Remembrance Day November 11th. 11th day, 11th month, 11 years old. That rock cut on the 400 is still there. One day I will remove it. News at 11. 😢

  2. You got that right ski!!!

    Proper tire installation, pressures and balancing is vital to trailer and tire performance. When I bought my tandem boat trailer from the manufacturer, the trailer tires nearly shook the back end off the truck on the way home. I took the tires off, mounted them properly, balanced them, reinstalled them and torqued them. I run them at the maximum pressure of 50 psi to control tire wear and decrease flat spotting when it sits idle. The Carlisle tires are certainly nothing as far as quality is concerned but are useable if you are careful with them. Whatever life you get out of them is what it is. Then replace them with something else.

    Glad you enjoyed it!
     

    A few club members have camps/houses in Cochrane. Maybe Cary or Mike? And there’s a whole crew from Owen Sound that own another place-maybe one of the VanDolders? 

    I raced with/against the VanDolders. Good guys. Hard racers. True to the yellow breed of sleds!

  4. I usually fill up the truck and then the small engine gas cans. That usually gets all the regular gas out of the pump and hoses although they really aren’t pumps. They are metering stations. For the dollar or so that I leave on the table because there is still some premium in the hose and metering station, I can’t be bothered by the nickels and dimes for the wasted time required to capture it all.

    I think Sksman was talking about a driver/delivery error but, there could be nefarious reasons as well. i wouldnt want to be the distributor, or retailer getting caught doing that, though. Ski

    The only error in the case that I stated ski was that the fuel supplier wasn’t checking the additives that were supposed to be added to the premium fuel. Finally the chemical supplier asked why they had bought no additive in months. Busted but was that ever kept hush hush.

  6. It is ok to add premium to regular tanks but illegal to add regular to premium tanks for sale. 
    We had a time that when we were purchasing premium, it was actually regular. I approached them on it and they denied it. Of course they have more money than I do so what was I going to do about it.

    That’s an eye open with only 11 years left on lease agreements. That would make me nervous. Hate to see you loose your life savings if lease doesn’t get renewed.

    For cost of lease and property taxes that would be 6 to 10 weeks of rent depending on where snd time of year. 
    good luck! 

    I really wouldn’t worry about dealing with WLI. They have been reasonable to deal with for years. 

  8. It would appear to me, and I have been wrong many times, that Textron picked up Cat for a tax write off and a dealer network for their ATVs. Much like Joe Hrudka did to Rupp Industries back in the 70s. Difference being, Hrudka was not in any ATV business.
