On the 401 taking my kid to work, pass a truck, guy in BMW tailgaiting, snow and ice covered road, before I could move back to the right the guy passes me on the right then cuts me off. Five minutes down the road, the douche is in the ditch. I honked and waved as I drove on by. PERFECT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be so much more at ease when the sled isn't darting. It's fine on hardpack flat trails runs straight as an arrow, it's when it's in powder and bumps it moves around abit. Nothing I can't handle as skid was totally rebuilt with all new bushings, bearings, arms and shocks. I run shaper bars for runners and through the twisties love it. I've thought about trying some duel runners but can't bring myself to it. Right now there is a hardpacked fresh groomed trail calling my SRX. THanks for the advice it is appreciated.

pt3189 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Allowed a 2 snow cross champions past on a just groomed trail yesterday . Those 2 frigers roosted every hill and trenched every corner exit for five miles . Was not a great base on this particularly tight trail and they managed to waste a lot of club effort. Only positive was it gave my son an excellent example of how not to ride . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'ah that doesn't sound like the same darting issue I used to run into before changing to the Duelers. Mine would dart around on the straightaways and on hardpack.

Jones204 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Soo many idiots. Myself and a buddy are constantly dodging retards. He is new to riding trails this year and he asked me why are you creeping through the corners and hills. I said you will see why. Within a hour and 3 near misses he was in awe. We are always respectful on the trails just a note we are clown suit , backpack, shovel wearing, permit buying boondock riders going to "private" areas with permission. STOP JUDGING I've seen many older folks on couches drink back 6 beer before leaving a restaurant. Just saying Slow down move over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some guys too drinking beer like you said, on side of trail in bush and then when I come back later in day, there is a pile of cans. Usually I will pick them up and take them home. I carry s garbage with me now and always have my skidoo bag with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manotickmike Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Certain Pseudo- sportscars have the defy (or at least be so isolated from the road that physics isn't even a passing thought) option. The last time I was towing and got passed (and honked at...) by an idiot in an AWD "sports" car and later saw him in a ditch, I stopped, got out, pointed and laughed, and mimed taking a pic with my phone while he swore at me, and made threats. I still have to supress a giggle when I remember this, lest someone think I'm losing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Camaro went flying by in an April snowstorm up around Morningside. Just past Whites Rd it was in the ditch. 3 hours ago, Viperules700 said: That is funny, with my luck he would of spun out in front of me and I would have then hit him and it would be my fault. I was afraid of the same thing when the idgit kid spun his truck out in front of me in Dec'. Luckily he cleared the lane & I didn't T bone him. He barrelled rolled it twice & wrote it off.

gobills Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I met a few guys yesterday at hawk lake that had came over from muskoka river and said they saw roughly 150 sleds before they left town. They said it was nuts. Once they came into baysville and headed towards the b they said it was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Sledder Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Saturday afternoon on D101B, just south 65, I stopped to help out a group that had a new Sidewinder impaled in the side bank, under tree roots and mud. Very easy to see that the machine was moving at a much higher rate of speed than warranted...saw plenty of this over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 So here we are on Georgian Bay going from Honey Harbour to Midland. The practice is to follow the stake line and keep the stakes to your left just like the centre line on the road. There are about 8 sleds coming at us on the wrong side of the stake line. We start to move right and they move left staying in front of us. Finally they clue in and move to their right. When they get up to us they start signalling the number of sleds following and last sled in line. We are on Georgian Bay. No trees, no obstructions, you can see for miles in all directions and see all their sleds as well as way beyond but they need to tell us how many there are.

wrightonalan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I was following a yamaha apex yesterday and when we all stopped for a road crossing the ahole pinned his sled and dug into the road shooting gravel and dirt all over his buddys sled .lucky i was not directly behind him or i would have been even more pissed .i can believe how some people treat the trails and even there own stuff.worst part was im with my 19 year old nephew, teaching him how to respect snowmobiling and the trail system.

Crow Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 ∆∆∆∆ See this all the time. Base is so thin that it is basically nonexistent, yet so many people just can't resist to show you just how much power their sled has. I know that I'm always impressed....... not. We were checking out a map board on Saturday on a new railbed that desperately needs snow. Dude comes up to intersection, makes a right turn and pins it. Heavy chunks of slag from the railbed are flying like old lugnuts from a Nascar pitstop. Moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
