    Just a tip for the wider trailers that you can't see behind.

    I have a Triton, 12 foot clamshell and even with the pull out truck mirrors it sucks.

    I wanted to tow it with my full size vans and there was no real good option for mirrors. 

    Bought and installed this on the back of the trailer, powered by the running lights.

    1000 miles on multiple vehicles, works very well.  Likely get me past the MTO rule that you have to be able to see behind you, but that has yet to be confirmed lol.

     

     

     

    I have looked into those in the past.

    The only issue I had was road spray covering the lens so what is behind you is no longer visible on the screen

    How many more new shedders can join the sport?   It would be interesting to know the total number of spring orders across the board to compare to previous years full sales.

    Hate when there are shedders on the trail, make things real hairy!:lol:

    I've watched a number of the videos on the Taiga, and I must say I'm impressed!

    180 hp instantly is insane. (0 t0 120 kph in 2.9 secs)

    However the 130 km radius is very disappointing.

    I'd buy one if only I could get Revrnd to make a Linq bracket for a couple of spare battery packs  :lol:

    One trailer I store has a solar powered vent with a fan.I believe it is from a marine application.

    I do the same. Got this unit from West Marine years ago

    Plus it is reversible (suck or blow)

    I had seen the sold sign as well. Too young for the Rock life scene LOL. If we were in town in the summer Dad would head for the Dominion. If Mother wanted a drink then they'd go to the Rockcliffe. 

     

    I remember after we sold the cottage & starting high school a couple of years later when 'I'm a Rockcliffe Beer Nut' or 'Rockcliffe University' T shirts were quite popular.

     

     

    Think I still have mine somewhere!!

  6. Another blow to our club happened yesterday.

    The venerable old Gordy Bell caught fire! Not a major fire, but it will probably not be repaired.

     

    That leaves us with just the one groomer, but with the forest trails closed we should be able to manage.

    The GPS track from yesterday:

    image.png.62164ca5e0c2ece125aa69d9fad54364.png

    If anyone can fill me in on reason for 504 I'd like to know.

     

     

    Only saw 2 sleds on my ride (a few @ the gas station earlier filling up a gas can & the sled). Of the 2 I saw it was a blue 3cyl Yamaha that had puked it's oil when the drain plug fell out. Rider's friend had gone back to Apsley for help. Not sure if how that would work out as the gas station closes @ 5 & not sure about Tuckers'  (the Yammi dealer).

     

    One question, this is the second Yamaha that I've heard losing the oil drain plug (the other was my friend's Apex a few years ago). I asked the rider which motor he said and he said the triple. Is there an issue and/or difficulty w/ accessing the plug resulting in improper installation?

    504 would appear to be the top end of the old Elmhirst trail??

    It was re-routed this year

    As for the Yammie oil drain plug, I've never heard of one doing that before. Perhaps as has been mentioned it is a maintenance goof-up.

    Yes I knew that was coming.

    She called me yesterday to get the club's perspective. 

    I thought it best to have her talk to the prez, Steve

    Surprised by how much the MPP for the area is onside with this.
