Just received new policy - same price as last year. Not going to complain or shop around.....good to go.

Even better!! Also just realized I thought I lived out east….we are still only at 13 percent tax, maybe 15 soon….

I understood the FXR booth was where the Royal one usually is and it was manned only by FXR team members - no royal team member. Seems to be conflicting info on that......not that it really matters in the grand scheme. Deals on gear were to be had at the Royal sale in there stores only that same weekend - no tax plus 5% off (20% discount) ..... lol. Some of the booths apparently only brought items for sale to the show that were just demo's - you bought at the show and the items were shipped to you afterwards for free. Really makes sense for larger outfits, means carry less inventory with you but still attend, speak with clients and still sell some of your stuff......as long as you know your sizes if it is clothes related purchase.

Ya, I saw that when Skidooboy posted above - I did not know the meaning of that abbreviation when I read your post and thought you were suggesting a different reason than what had happened ! Really short sighted of them when you think about it - so many other ways to offer discounts on MSRP items with fixed priced agreements and follow the rules.

So there are still some hard core sledders here willing to share! Good to hear you enjoyed it. Interesting to hear about HH since there was an update here about open for gas and snacks this year….but that might have been a possible option not yet confirmed.

Very good - I always thought warm fall and hunting were not a good mix.

Usually not good for the results you’re looking for.

Surprised no updates or feedback on the show? I did see a post elsewhere on here about new Cats and I think Royal having a small presence there.

I wonder what wall the owner hit to do a 360 on the efforts? Place is going to be hard to heat soon with winter coming and no insulation in the attics or walls - not there there was much there before I am sure......or maybe not heated for the winter.....

No, for 200K you also get a couple of new propane furnaces, concreate pads, exterior painted and to be built pergola....lol Plus 2nd floor gutted of course.

I thought they no longer can sell CKX because they were selling the products for less than what the manufacture allowed, giving Royal the advantage over the other resellers - so Royal was removed as a reseller altogether?

I missed this post - exactly, the numbers are extremely low. Makes you wonder if the 16 + 1 cases/owners did something in error to make a situation worse than should be......the stupid human factor...lol.

So, 0.007 percent of vehicles with accidents.

For perspective, what are the total number of units affected by this and the number of vehicles that actually had this issue occur? I know this doesn’t counter what you are saying, but what is the risk factor really. Wasn’t the issue also based on certain set of circumstances too…that some could try to avoid until they get the fix.

yes, I went with the longer versions - they were a bit cheaper too for some reason. Longer ones I would say are for deeper lug tracks since the rail is now further from the snow.

That is too bad, hopefully it will live once again!

I am using the flexible cable type that are on the rails - first time last year with them, worked good with no issues, I actually just put one down after reading on here about another member doing that with no issues, so I try to alternate which side I use. For ref, sled is a 137" with 1.5 IR track. Previous sled had the rail mounted spring ones, worked good, just need to be aware of reverse when down. BRP spring style ones that attach to tunnel seem to have great reviews by most.

Yes, it will be and perhaps a good thing - but I think people are more aware of offerings from a variety of resellers now, so those other companies will need to have a sharp pencil to get the sale. But guys are still impulse buyers too, so who knows. Manufactures as in Cat, Doo & Poo? I would find it odd for that seeing as both sides of the business feed off one another - sell more vehicles = sell more parts, attire, etc..... A strong manufacture(s) market would mean a strong market for companies like Royal. Sure the manufactures have there accessories, but there will always be a need for both. But perhaps having Royal there and how busy there booth/section usually is, takes away some of the lime light from the manufactures. Have not been in a while, but when I used to go to frequent the Detroit auto show annually, the focus was definitely placed on the manufactures.

The online business in Canada has made a significant increase here in the last little bit, prior to that, it did not seem to be all that well received - add to that the deals now on free shipping, that we did not see much of before, not a hard sell for most business' to focus more on that.

They had a big booth, took a lot of work to set up and take down I’m sure, maybe not worth it. plus I’m guessing their online sales have skyrocketed in the last bit, so hard to justify the shows expense when online department is doing so well. Don’t blame them.

Ya, trail status, etc....updates for sure. I think it is the actual app update though that is in question - needed to be downloaded again or does app on smart phone just update automatically....might be wrong though. I assume the free version does it automatically, like any other app would. The paid version I think would request payment before the app updates.

I’ve used paid app each year that I’m sure I need to update, I’d imagine it needs to be updated yearly since trails change regardless of free or paid app. I did used the BRP app mostly last year though and it worked well.

Finding it hard to believe video supplied to police isn’t helpful in them pursuing a lead….assuming video is useable quality. Otherwise, there are other avenues people can and will take with that same evidence.

Issue with 3rd party labour coming in as well, are they good, what are their skill levels, do dealers want this? What is stopping a dealer from letting the owner that is mechanically inclined, doing the recall themselves if parts are provided? I know this is a liability, but I know in the past, I was given the opportunity to do the work myself on a recall - likely a judgement call between the dealer and the person that they know personally and trust.

LOL - or care when speed is of the essence to get in & get out. I recall this topic last year, did these tags only work within a certain range of your smart phone too?
