LOL geometry is not lawsuit worthy whatsoever. Theres nothing intellectually unique in it. Influenced by other successful geometric designs? Absolutely. Just like the rest. Cat took the double A-arm and single slider both from Alouette which had that tech in the 70's. The swing arm fronts came from F1 racers in the 70's who first? No clue. Rave valves? Cough power valves you get the idea The Rider forward rev etc etc etc. It has to be blatant to have a chance in court.
Take the blinking wipers from Ford for instance. Or Robertson screws etc. Blatant, which is why they held up. -
Aint nothing easy to service anymore. Its all jammed in there by a computer program designed to defrag the entire machine and stack like Unix. Tight tight tight! Now wheres that blue meth?...
In all seriousness the improved roll center and front end tweaks on the 25 doos is looking promising.

New front end on the doos looks promising

The sleder (or his lawyer) will also drag the club and OFSC into being liable. Another reason to make sure all signage is in place and displayed properly.

Fubar! Anyone who attempts such a thing is a scum bag for dragging liability into the club. Hopefully the OFSC has enough legal front end to absolve themselves from any such stupidity. If you cant drive and control your vehicle? Its not the road or trails providers fault. Weasels who try and leverage liability like that are the kind of scum who are ruining the Canadian way of life.

Interesting to see the differing view points here. If i was on a bench in that one? Sled guilty of careless driving. Trucker zero charges. Sled at fault 100% in my eyes.

? Sled is at fault 100%. Drivers a total dumbass imo. He's darn lucky as mentioned above that was a real trucker and not some humbolt dolt.

Sno-Rake. Great products I use one of these and have different length handles for different jobs. They have a lot of different products I use the one linked below. I got onto these by Roy Foss when we got my wifes Caddy I went to pick it up there was a guy on the lot going to town scrubbing snow off the caddy's in the lot with one of these. Of course my curiosity got me over talking to him as I couldn't believe it wouldn't damage the paint. You can scrub the snow almost scraper like off painted surfaces without damage. Love mine, had it over ten years too still going strong and it sits outside leaning up by the door all winter long too.

You have to be a certain kind of bonkers to support a government scheme that by design makes living life harder, more expensive, and grants freedoms away to government bureaucracies.
HARD NO!Carbon tax must go.

I don't know of any mild winters until '84.
You sure you got your calendar flipped right?
The early 80's were purty intense here. The state road that goes past us here was closed for 3 days at a time a cpl times each winter during that time as the state trucks couldn't keep up.
But in '84/'85 I tried to sell my sled to Spicers Boat City up in Houton Lake, and they said that they didn't have any snow up there either.
.
I think you are correct on the year. In fact Im almost certain is was 84 now that I think more'on it 😳 hence my question mark. I was back and forth so many times in the 80's it was all a blur but the sled prices out west were literally half of what they were in Ontario. What triggers the memory most is a buddy of mine bought a 85/6 formula MX new and that was the second winter with the Blizzards so it must have been 84. Geez when did 84 become a long time ago? 🤣

El Nino is so severe this year the forecast carries it until April. Sometimes the nino brings insane snow falls later in the season but if the base doesnt freeze up, well you all know. I remember in 81 or 2? Same sort of inflation problem ironically another Trudeau issue also had a couple extremely mild winters out west. I bought a couple blizzards cheap as heck with almost no miles. One was a 79 7500 RV style. Wish I kept that one. I barely rode it iirc it had 1500 miles on it when I sold it in 89. I rode the hell out of that 9500 though, that thing rocked

It's simple. It's all about money, debt is not going to get us anywhere good. EV's are a money loser at the moment we need to fund the shift and increase innovation which takes even more money. We have oil to sell, we need oil in the short term and as mentioned earlier we can greatly improve the entire oil consumption industry once we have the money to do so. We need the money first so its time to sell sell sell oil and begin planning and developing once we actually have the money, not before.
As always we get what we pay for. Period

#4 i took a stab at it because I thought the stripe was the purple. I should have added the ? to the end of that one. After closer look with fresh eyes the stripe appears to be red. The ski roule guess was just because of colour kinda in the ballpark. Wasn't sure and looks like you guys got it. I dont think I ever saw an AMF skidaddler. Man there was a boat load of sled brands back then. Most had the same or similar motors though. JLO, Sachs etc

imagine if a part of the $43 billion in electric vehicle subsidies given to EV battery plants to buy jobs was actually invested in natural gas and oil pipelines into Quebec and the Maritimes?
Our countries investment could earn revenue, eliminate imported dirty oil, provide natural gas to Quebec by more efficient pipeline over rail cars.
But then the East Canada power families who are heavily invested in utilizing cheap dirty oil would have to make a little less.
Under the current regime crookedness I can sure relate to that. Realistically there is no need for anyone to be left out of the supply chain. We need to run LNG and crude lines to every province. We can equalize taxation so the competition is fair province to province or do like the breweries did, must brew in own province to sell in said province. Plenty of ways to make sure everyone gets made whole when we are actually generating income instead of piling on debt. Debt can only reach so far before inflation takes off. Generating wealth has an entirely different knock on event. Ironically the most significant event for haves is many use less resources than poor due to top line cleaner technology and happy at home because home is awesome and not some tar paper shack. The entire lie the Liberals and NDP climate mongers have sold us is complete hooey. In no sensible fashion whatsoever is it going to accomplish anything of benefit for the climate, and especially not for the people. Its the bend over and line up for your shot plan. No thanks

Crazy when we know we really have to be buy little or no foreign oil.
We have enough oil reserves in Canada to service our demand for over 1000 years. I've said this before so I'll say it again. Can you imagine how good we would have it if the stoppid federal libs put all their efforts into improving Canadas oil and gas industry instead of gutting it? Start with nation wide pipeline supply to every province and Territory. Offer incentivized profit sharing to all employees who innovate ideas to improve emissions on refining. Take all the carbon tax off and cut the rest of the tax in half. This alone would make it financially impossible to import oil into Canada which would save massive emissions. Once we had supply finalized and working add a 1% tax for a university solely dedicated to improving ICE emissions and performance again with profit sharing incentives for students who develop technology that improves overall gains in both areas. Patent and sell at fare rates the useage of said tech to the rest of the worlds manufacturers which will do a massive amount more to reduce emissions than any stupid carbon tax ever will. Remember this school would be focused on all transportation. Looking for gains and improvements everywhere; trains, planes, autos, boats all of it. Off the top of my head I would easily believe we could see a 50% drop in fuel useage in ten years if we focused on how to use fuel better instead of leaving it as is and simply how to make it more expensive. Once this is moving along add a 5% tax and bind it to law to eradicate Canadas debt. Once the debt is gone use the 5% to generate a sovereign wealth fund. Using only gains upon this fund never touching the principal to improve health care. Begin the same model with health care where we improve care and service to worlds number 1 ranking. Then use half the gains from the fund to service this system once completed #1 ranking and the other half to start a medical university with sole purpose of innovating newer and better health care technology again with profit sharing to the students who invent things/drugs/etc that improve health. License those patents out globally. Once that system is up and running we can start serious talks of what to do next
