Turbo Doo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Just wanted to give a shootout to all the clubs and volunteers and landowners everywhere. Hats of people. Haven't seen this much green in quite a few years. Get out and ride people. Don't think twice about it. Mrs. Turbo Doo and myself will be out and about in D9, once again Saturday. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puggz Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 As i started working up in Bruce County last July I was truly hoping that the region would get decent snow this winter. Prayers have been answered 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tells you in there how to go from Imperial to Metric, how to display the tach and speedo on the side you want, how to display the temp number in the bar graph, etc. Its a good read. I have had to instruct many out there how to do it. Edited February 12, 2021 by Big Pussy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medical officer of health, Dr. Cheerios has closed all trails in district 10 and 11 . These are the only districts in Ontario that are closed. He has kept them open for cross country skiing because those people are immune from the Chinese produced virus. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I think I have around 1900kms so far this season. Did 390kms (gps says 383km) yesterday from home. Trails were incredible the entire day! Conditions are the best I’ve seen it in the south since 2013/14.

He is a prime example of the folks that don't understand why we ride. Look @ the pics that we post. Fingers are freezing but we have to take a few. This is my 51st season of riding. Even though the riding has been 'limited' this winter in some ways I'm still having fun. Just thinking back to '00/'01 & I went riding out of Uxbridge in Dec'. The 1st week the Ridges got about 6" every other day. I had my new '01 MXZ600 in Oshawa. I was supposed to go out w/ a friend. She said that seeing as I had the new sled & they had a pile of snow (she lived on the outskirts of Uxbridge), she suggested that if we could ride 2 up, I could run up to a restaurant in Sunderland. That was a good winter as it was also my second Northern Blastoff trip (staged in North Bay). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started them on it when they both were around 5-6yrs old. That thing will go another 35yrs LOL. new and used kids sleds are priced way too high right now. I would love to get her a kitty cat, then a 120 but they’re just too much money for what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just clean the carb every year on it and it runs like a champ. Actually, I will say the wife and I doubled up on it the one day like dumb and dumber and rode it up penetanguishene harbour and completely destroyed the skid haha! I’m sure it was time for an overhaul anyways! Other than that it’s always been trouble free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
