  1. But the stock 900T is already close to that from what I am reading and what TD suggested above as well.....it is just rated on paper at less for some reason. Edit:, well devaluing the numbers is good for Ins I suppose......
  2. Perfect example of why one person should never be able to yield that kind of authority or decision making capabilities If we did not live in such a politically correct world, I am thinking this Dr. would have some serious second thoughts about this given possible retribution.
  3. My brother had to rent a sled last year on a trip due to mechanical issues, it was the 900T, albeit in a base model, but gave you a good idea on how it felt. It was a really fun sled that I enjoyed for the most part. For sure the throttle needed some getting use to and definitely needed some suspension work, but both were not deal breakers and have me now very interested in buying one. I have always ran Cat 2-smoke and for the first time have an interest in riding/buying a Doo & a 4-stroke......had good luck with my Cats, but if I do not try something else, I feel I will have regrets.
  4. The video I saw from Doo stated just that, no interest in that small market, they are catering to the masses. But of course, manufactures sometimes do crazy things too....
  5. One of those riders, huh...... lol Those are the really good days, but can be a challenge too! Last year when we all got that massive dump of snow at the end of Feb, 6 of us left the cabins for a day ride in QC, but only 2 of us actually did not turn back and had an epic ride that day!
  6. Was watching some reports from the hut operators yesterday, lake is not in good shape, very bad year, strong winds broke up a bunch of ice that were now floating sheets of ice......after I listened to a bunch of guys with reports decided not to take the kids out today on it as planned.
  7. My BIL lives there and it seems there is always something going on that is preventing trails from being open. I was not aware of the death, what happened? The in laws live in Wiarton as well. Just asked the wife and the man that died hit a car but that was close to Red Bay, where my BIL lives and not Wiarton, but they are close to each other.
  8. I believe there is typically a fair amount of drama for that area preventing trails from all opening... Or perhaps something else at play.
  9. Looks like some good blowing today Plan to stick close to home and take the kiddies out for a toot or two.
  10. Looking thin in that area for start of Feb. Hoping for some new snow to freshin up the trails.
  11. You need to get out and ride. Conditions around your parents are improving, lakes are getting staked, etc.... I know you have reservations about staying at your parents, which are understandable, but heading up for a day ride is doable.....but it is a bit of a drive from steel city.
  12. Could they possibly be higher is a better question? Not being used....sell, sell, sell.....
  13. That is too bad and so sad. Things will return to some sort of norm at some point and these people that are being so critical will hopefully see what or how they were acting through all of this and maybe have an apology....but I doubt it.
  14. There are still posts that have updates on trails, pictures, season, etc.....without the politics. There is less no doubt and that is because some I am sure are not willing to share their rides this year given the environment or simply are not riding, which is too bad. Please share your rides though, pictures are great.....nice to see people out enjoying the trails !
  15. No, I think most people here are respectful and discussing difference of opinions, with some sarcasm and light heartedness added.....many other platforms people are very rude.
  16. I cannot see how any forums right now are not seeing more political banter in light of what is going on.....there is a very big divide as to what side of the fence you are on.
  17. That is the one I thought you were thinking of, but was still Red so was wondering.....I am thinking that it will not be Yellow seeing as is between health units.... The D101B for sure has some good spots and some thin spots that needs snow. I thought that Doo you had with the R-motion just sucked up all that junk........lol Guessing you were out in the afternoon....trails were hard and smooth in the morning (yes sounds bad....), by noon, they were now much softer but not rough yet, I imagine the afternoon, they were good and whooped though.
  18. Which trails is it that went Yellow?
  19. Well if you worked in the industry, we know which line you like to tow ......
  20. But that’s just one of the media outlets getting the money, CBC? What stopping the others...
  21. I have ran MX helmet and goggles for a while now, purchased 509 back then and still running the same set up. With this set up everyone is different and you need to find what works for you. I use a Klim Arctic balaclava and for really cold days, I will add a thin cotton balaclava under my Klim balaclava if I find my head getting cold. I also taped off some of the vents on my goggle and my helmet years ago to control the air flow to suit what worked for me. I am now thinking of buying the Mission helmet & going back to a full face, not sure yet though to be honest.
  22. It truly is crazy to think how so many media groups are willing to tow the line for such a bunch of liars & crooks!
  23. Ya, I too also think this type of activity is not something anyone should be ok with. Regardless if the reporter has a name or trying to make a name, this type of activity should not be condoned especially given the environment we are in right now. I posted this same video a little while ago and the only thing I found odd or questionable about the entire thing is the two guys at the door did not seem to show any proof of who they were or what they represented......if someone came to my door for something like this, I would be asking for some proof of who they are before I had any interest in entertaining them any further. Just more craziness surrounding this whole situation.
