catinental couch Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Drive safe people. Windy as h;/? here and slippery as puppy crap.

The open roads/fields, I can only imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barberch Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 just got back from the show . Monte and I arrived as it opened, parked close to the door, no line up at the arena to get in! Great show, talked to Intrepid Snowmobiler and the Lesters outside, and bought gloves from WildBill for a great price. Looks like another success!

Blake G Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The cold and windy line wasn't too big at 815 The door opened at 825. Plenty of vendors spread over the two buildings. There was also an outside area for swapping and buying used stuff. There seemed to be a good crowd by 9 a.m. The only OC'ers I ran into were Wildbill (with son and staff), Snocrazy (with Ms Snocrazy), and Steve Hutton at the Prostate Extreme Team booth. I also chatted with the Intrepid Sledder, and had a good conversation with Phil Molto, of Snowmobiler T.V. I spoke briefly with Terry from District 6. He's a busy fellow. I'd like to have one of these Grand Touring sleds some day. Seemed like a good price, but I'd be tempted to spend more and get the SE model. I paid 110 dollars for an add-on gas can carrier, complete with a pair of two-gallon cans. I know I will be using this contraption from time to time. It was an enjoyable two and a half hours. I was out of there by 11 a.m. and pulled into Buttertarts and More around 11:30. Home by 1:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Wife and I got to the show about 12:30. Ran into a few guys (sorry forgot names) Spent some $$$$ at wild bills place. I saved big on my purchase but factor in gas and stuff, net savings zilch. Can't even say it was a nice day for a drive, weather in peterborough sucks, wet snow, wicked wind. On a positive note the sun is shining at home and I had a very enjoyable day out with my wife ( who napped most of the way down and I expect the same on the way home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The southbound traffic (lines of vehicles) made me glad I didn't have to head back to Oshawa in it like the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them with separate rims and the twice yearly swap is easier and cheaper. Both sets of tires will last longer and you will have the right tires for each season.

Does this mean you don't swap them over yourself? I kind of figured you would have the air gun and everything to do it at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
