95rxl650 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Condolences to any family that has had this pain inflicted upon them needlessly, currently or in the past. I went for a short ride yesterday along a railbed that was open but limited conditions. Every trail that branched off was clearly marked as closed and even a gate had been opened, yet there were the tracks of privileged "A-holes" on every one of them. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but I have little sympathy for those who know the state of the sport and the dangers that go along with playing the fool. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I presume that this was on Crown land, so likely not a trespassing issue. Speed kills. That's life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Reports suggest on a trail: A 51-year-old resident of the Greater Sudbury community of Dowling has died following a snowmobile crash Saturday on trail C111D about six kilometres from Cartier. I am guessiong @soupkids may have more info being in his back yard. Either way, it is unfortuenate and as stated, accidents happen, regardless of trail status, speed, etc......

scottyr Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Sad. 11pm on closed trails. Nothing good is coming out of this. I feel bad saying it but you can almost be assured that booze was a factor. Someone went in a culvert hard on Friday night around Listowel and when I drove by the spot on Sunday am there were beer cans scattered around the site.

To add insult to injury, when they came back to get the sled, someone stole the linq bags and gas can from his sled. That bridge gets one sled a year on average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was actually Thurs night, on closed trail, not Fri. I went and took pics on Fri for the club when we heard about it, but I didnt see any beer cans laying around then so?????

We stopped at the same spot on Sunday am and all of us commented about the 5-6 Miller Lite cans laying in the culvert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
