  1. I agree......in the performance world, the folks that do this for a living, or even as a hobby are very persistent and knowledgeable.......just give them time and they will succeed! Personally I have no interest in modding my sled.....might be because I was always very hesitant about doing that to my 2-smokes, but obviously 4-strokes are different breed......that and I have lost the bug for that stuff, use to love it & spent hours upon hours doing it, cannot believe I am saying that actually.....
  2. Very encouraging - starting to actually get a little excited for the new ride, but do not want to get ahead of myself with nothing sitting in the garage just yet...
  3. Ya, tough year for all, all around......could definitely take the wind our of your sail no doubt.
  4. Come on, be nice now......wonder if I can find a trailer in the bush full of POO crates, or are they still waiting on the engines before they ship...............LOL
  5. In stock…..the good ole days…. Lol
  6. I’ve purchased a few trailer tires from PA over the years and can’t say I’ve ever had any issues.
  7. Ya, I did….they had the tire size I’m looking for on a rim though if I’m not mistaken.
  8. I have had the trailer since bought new in 2014, so I think the tires have held up pretty good for 7 years.....replaced one leaking valve stem in one tire to date. I kind of like the narrower tires too as they tend to cut through the snow vs. riding on top of it. And I grease the axles and check tire PSI on a very regular basis.....might be why they seem to have lasted so long. Thanks for the feedback though
  9. These are on sale at crappy tire. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-snowmobile-drive-on-dollies-0260548p.html?rrec=true#spc
  10. My Triton trailer is in need of new tires, the size of them are ST145R12 - anyone have any suggestion on a good place to buy these? Just need the tire, I will re-use the aluminum rims. Thank you

    I do not think that is such a big issue around these parts - at least not that I am aware of....sure it happens, but I would say not a lot. I see you are in Newmarket, so the closest drop point is Haliburton or Dorset area, Raven Lake parking lot just South of Dorset has never been an issue, other than people that do not park with some common sense of course . Start mid-week and you will not have an issue finding a spot here for truck & trailer, trail is right there......just park sensibly please for others that want to park there as well!
  12. I have heard about POO and DOO delays....but nothing about YAMMI-CAT.....I imagine in the same boat though, perhaps not as bad due to lower number of units sold though, but I am speculating. Anyone have friends that live or ride out west - what have they seen with new units so far? After all, that is main focal point for all manufactures - the mountain segment.
  13. Anyone know if Quebec tourism body still sends you a trail map package if you inquire with them about planning a trip there?
  14. Thankfully, still in good (enough) physical shape to use the old school ones......one under each ski and made up a piece of plywood with wheels for the track. For the skis you do not really have to lift up so much as pull up on the ski loop so it tilts the ski & slide dolly under each ski, one at a time. Driveway is still gravel, so no worries with that.....used primarily in the garage for moving around or unloading from the trailer.
  15. Shhhh, don’t be saying these sort of things until after it’s a good year….
  16. I was thinking the same or family with multiple sleds to fill. Towing is for sure the bigger hit since you’re not really enjoying burning those fossil fuels as much. If I get my sled before season starts, I can’t say the cost of fuel will deter me from riding, hasn’t yet.
  17. Mind elaborating on the "okay".....did your track delaminate or start too, like others say they do, or just not the traction you are used too?
  18. That is good - hopefully your body (back I think) stays healthy and you get out some more. In fairness, your CAT is not stock - I was usually hesitant with changing much to avoid issues.....and well studs, who needs them anyways, just an accident in the making..... Hopefully no mice issues from the summer storage.
  19. Very good - I guess that means she is riding this year... Still sporting the Cat I assume - get the issues you had sorted out with it?
  20. It’ll all work out, right….. Oct just around the corner, getting there slowly….. I predict an early Christmas gift on the way
  21. and make some more money on the sale of a pre-season sled. If delivery dates get extended, you know some folks will back out for sure.
  22. Other than the price tag of the Mach, I do not think the increase from 21 to 22 was that bad given everything else. I think the 23's will be a different story though.

    I think for many it is also about getting together as a whole org for some socializing and share what each do, that works or does not work, etc.... I get that some may find this an unproductive way to spend some money too - but for some this is getting a little back for all the volunteering, and is that such a bad thing.
  24. LOL...no worries, all these details surrounding cottage and winter use is helpful. Plus, I am not one to get worked up over these things
