  1. That's pretty sad. You can't trust ice to be flat or free of obstacles on your first pass of the day, that's for sure.
  2. Have to go this week. Next week it warms up. Not sure it's worth 8 hour trip With limited amount of trails open. Everyone will want to go 🤣.
  3. They are ok tire. Many better choices out there now? Light truck tires are better suited to trucks.
  4. Toyo are good tires. I love there winter tires. Cheaper then Nokia still has walnut shells in tread and they last. Gsi 6 or whatever they call them.
  5. I agree but they are banned unless you live far enough north in Ontario. In south they use that new chemical salt that works down to minus 25 C or so. 30 years ago they never cleaned roads down to bare pavement. Everyone just drove according to conditions. Now today every one wants to blame someone else for thier actions or poor judgement calls. It's a sad world. I get truck some drivers that can barely back up on a good day. They rabbit hop backwards 😆. A little bit of snow they can't move. Then next guy that has more experience can make a gong show look easy 😎.
  6. It's crazy! Here comes ice and snow we all been waiting for. 😆 Thanks for heads up on tires. Not much that help on ice though besides some good driving skills and a little bit of luck.
  7. Nope was to cheap to buy steel rims. Cheaper to just leave snow tires on. Rims I would need sensors too. Next time I am going for those all weather tires. All you really need and they are very good in snow.
  8. I don't even bother switching them now. Leave on all year they last longer then you would think.
  9. Nice we have bees out already in southern Ontario. Black fly season soon I guess.
  10. I was expecting to see you up to your arm pits in snow, like last year. I guess no big storm this year late in season 😮.
  11. 87 is worst since it contains most E. I did some testing recently all fuel grades I tested had E, but regular had the highest percentages, which makes sense because it's biggest volume sold. I put 93 in my sled and stabilized it. Contains about 5 percent E. I just start sled once a month and add more fuel as summer goes on or get a pump and pump it out. Not sure yet.
  12. No one buying any way's really. I figure there will be some big rebates next Winter too if snow checks a fail. No way dealers will be able to take full amount of 25, with 24 and 23's still in stock 😳. I bet rebates come in august and early September to try and move old stock before 25's arrive?
  13. What's deal. I found a 22 vr1 with 100 miles and warranty until Dec 2025. nice xcr near you too with about same amount of miles. 2023 too. All private deals.
  14. Down ward pressure on prices but I haven't seen any killer deals. Sleds deprecate whether they are driven or not. Just afraid to buy a new one and half value dispears in two years 😮
  15. Hahaha shoukd have bought nivida I still own 2/3 of mine. 😎
  16. I think these new 650's will last. Haven't heard of any failing out there. I expect to get 15,000 km's out of it, maybe more. for me that be 10 years at least, since I still have four stroke too. I get tired of it before I wear engine out. 900 nice but it lacks jam at higher speeds. If it's ridden hard two stroke will beat it in fuel economy. 130 Is interesting no doubt. Wonder how realible the turbo are. Is it going to fail and puke oil out at speed and ruin engine one day? pita to change oil in them after a low mile sesson too.
  17. That's skidoo hard to beat. I just wanted to try a Polaris so was looking at a 650. It last as long as I need it too. I already have a 90 hp four stroke 😆. Don't need two the same and figure 650 be easier for wife to handle then another four stroke. Why no 650 in cards any more. Some nice low mile ones out there now too?
  18. That's a fan sled I assume? All these liquid cooled high powered sleds, sure eat allot of our snow to keep cool 😆. Maybe electric is answer to snow longevity 🙃
  19. Can bend that down into tank, with anti siphon device they put in?
  20. Rest of Ontario going to go down hill fast. Once it warms up to above zero this week trail base will go to ice. I be surprised if Ontario isn't all closed for season by end of the week.
  21. Pretty sure sleds have a return line that return access fuel back to tank, when engine doesn't need it. Recycle and mix fairly quickly.
