Claire Voyant Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Don't understand why the topic about the groomer operator drinking beer has been locked. The discussion was obviously opening up some secondary topics for debate (idling groomers, etc.). Yes, we don't want to condemn someone in social media before all the facts are gathered, but smellybox seemed to have a good grasp on the situation he was seeing. I've witnessed many riders drinking multiple beers at a local clubhouse. Perhaps the topic touched a nerve for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's been unlocked. Don't understand why the topic about the groomer operator drinking beer has been locked.

I've witnessed many riders drinking multiple beers at a local clubhouse. Perhaps the topic touched a nerve for some people. In that case a thread could be started pertaining to that matter. And no a nerve wasn't touched. I felt that the OP had taken steps to contact the club. If you guys want to continue to comment on the subject go ahead.

LuvMyViper Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey Xvolunteer.. Agreed, that's why it was unlocked.. What has always amazed me is how much beer is being drank on the trails.. Almost every time I see a sled a sled in a tree or the brush, they guys are standing there with a beer.. There`s a lot more alcohol being consumed on the trails than anyone could imagine imo... Talking about it can only help.. imo Happy Trails.. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupkids Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I was out one year right at the end of the season (running almost as much dirt as snow) I managed to fill a Costco sleigh with empties, some where old but still filled the sleigh up.

They loaded a sled on a flat bed tow truck... the snowmobiler was impaired. Wasn't even lunch time...I have heard of liquid lunch and liquid dinner but are people having liquid breakfast now as well.

This is a common issue. Still drunk from the night before. When the night goes on until the we hours of the morning, a few hours of sleep is not sobering....

He got pulled over coming out of the petro can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
