zoso Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 BTW, any amount of alcohol in this young man's blood, even 0.01 would be listed as alcohol was a factor by OPP. Do not make assumptions about him being drunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupkids Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 And it continues. From FB Hi, I’m new to the group. One of my buddies recently put his sled through the ice. It’s sitting in about 20ft of water. Looking for someone who does snowmobile recoveries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see many around here. Sileage wrap the same thing. Most farmers use wrappers here and rap up a row of round bales. Typically stored on edge of field near barn, for easy access.

Sksman Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The carnage will be big this year. Lots of extra EI money floating around. Lots of expensive old sleds and people trying to get there money’s worth. And likely a lot of no trail pass purchasers running with no insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how Ins handles sleds that go through the water. Besides, retrieving a sled in 20 feet of water is not that bad.....some folks make some good money retrieving sleds for folks that have accidents. Plus there is the possible fine that you could receive as well. 1 hour ago, soupkids said: And it continues. From FB Hi, I’m new to the group. One of my buddies recently put his sled through the ice.

Every time there was police out in our area, they catch very few people that don’t comply. I say majority of people are complaining with rules. Even ones that aren’t obvious they usually have a day pass in there coat pocket, can’t assume no permit on windshield that they are free loading.

Always open water along the way too. Now I look back on that and it was a pretty stupid move, but back then there was at Least a decent amount of solid ice, which isn’t case today with all warm ups. We used to do that from Bellwood and almost make it up to waldemar. Lots of beer and open water involved. All vintage beater sleds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldfinger Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 We ran the Grand from Breslau to Elora gorge . Cruise up taking note of the hazards race back , finish line was the railway bridge in Breslau .You could throw a blanket over us at the finish line . 500 Indy's .
