Strong Farmer

Welcome to Oc too. Thank-you for your volunteering time too. We as sledders appreciate what you and others that give up valuable time, to make trails possible and best they can be for us riders. I love your area and hope to get out and ride it this winter.

Wings this Friday I assume starting at 5pm?

Was bottom end checked by anyone. I recommend checking crank with a dial indicator on pto shaft and make sure it is true before going into snowmobile. If it doesn’t check out, I would quit there. When you have it all apart, I would be tempted to go with a new top end and rings and pistons. More reliable in long run. Not that much more to do it right. Mechanic needs to measure everything and get it all into tolerance for it to be reliable. Good luck.

That’s brutal. I am looking forward to getting new ofsc app this winter. Comes out this week hopefully.

Health related decision?

Nice looking sled. If your dad can’t go one day, can I be test pilot . hopefully we get snow real snow this winter.

I guess if he and his dad and employees used toys as a daily stress reliever, then that would qualify as a business expense.

Wowsie. How did you manage to put all toys thru buisness. My account aka my mother wouldn’t sleep at night if I cheated by one 1 cent.

Looks like end your road in middle of winter. That trail would be rideable if it was in our area.

No frost anyways. So now we have a chance for Jack to come alive.

You make it look easy. What size is box on your truck?

Wowsie. That is so sad. I sold my sled last year to a older couple. Grand touring le, 2012. Got an email message a few weeks asking where I had sled serviced in past. I answered them back and asked was there a problem with snowmobile and they said no, they just wanted to get it serviced. I was like few, always feel bad if something breaks after I sell it to someone. You may have to ride that a few times this winter too. Feel good in musoka twisty trails.

Power steering is a game changer on Yamaha’s. When my shoulders were hurting a few years ago, I would have considered one, if I could have tried it before I bought it. Vector and venture is lighter then Rx1 with it’s 3 cylinder engine. Good find zoo. Looks clean too.

That’s a great idea and I remember when that happened to you. Did they try to give you a discount and get you to take it? Costco pumps, I can open back door and go in that way. Long hoses are so nice. Most stations only have about 8 feet of hose. Next time I buy a trailer I do same with man door. Sure beats going in circles every time you want to go into trailer.,

How about a shipping container. They are water tight too.

Sounds right and another 300 to Hearst and approx 120 to Kap makes almost 500 km’s. Not doing that. chinesse food place in wawa on lake coming in, has really good food. Worth a back track to eat there after wawa 5.

Dub to kap is ok, if not too cold. Freezing weather forget about it. Wawa to kap would make it close to 500 km’s, no thanks.

I could but that would be stupid. Nothing is marked over that way no more. No way, i would attempt it and put myself or other lives at risk. If you don’t know, don’t go.

That’s where I want to go but can’t go without a guide. Last time I missed organize ride groomer guy was doing from dub by a few days.

You ride Cochrane to wawa in one day. That is over 600 km’s plc. More like 650 ish give or take 25 km’s or so. Two day trip for most but can make from kap to dub in a day which is around 425 km’s. That’s my limit for a day.

You can just have to say thieves said they were armed before you shoot them. Remember dead people can’t defend themselves so your storey wins .

It’s a nice trip. I would stay in dub next time for two nights so had time to explore wawa area too. A run out to ernies would be nice if you have enough people and call ahead. Always wanted to go there, but never had chance. Could ride from dub to kap to shave half a day off trip going back. Then you have time to do canyon run too before heading back to Cochrane or you can skip canyon and be in Cochrane before noon and drive back home

Yeah dub too. Have to plan your trip around accomdations in this area and cheapleau area too. From chapleau to wawa i don’t really care for those trails either.

They will just winch it onto a flat bed truck and it will look like it belongs on thier too.

Fuel isn’t an issue on this route at all, normally. Lots of options. Even fuel at half way isn’t required if you fill up in chapleau, but is nice to top up if open and avoid wawa snd D trail thru town or having to back track on lake to get fuel. This allows to take trail 5 and by pass town, which is much better route. I am sure dub will have a steady supply of fuel, no premium available though. Most stops are along main highway’s, so fuel availability is good.
