I know how you feel. I'm still riding my 2012 F800 - which I love. Any failure or expense in excess of 1500 - 2k though and it'll be gone - not worth throwing good money at it any longer

A smart and good friend of mine told me to keep what I have, as I have already sunk considerable money into it and have it set up to my liking.  I can do a 400km day and get back on it the next day and repeat the distance.   I haven't advertised my sled, just some word of mouth, lots of interest but no offers. In the end, I think I'll head my friend's advice......for now....lol   As far as what I consider excessive charges for Freight and PDI, I do not like dickering as I fully accept companies need to be profitable but still be competitive and know what the need to sustain themselves.    I have the option of walking away if I don't think they are being reasonable, which is what I will be doing here

Looks like your area is getting more snow today 👍

We've always done a Land Owner and Volunteer banquet every spring before planting season gets started. Great meal a few cocktails, raffle prizes, live entertainment and speeches with lots of laughs and camaraderie. We also put out club logo etched thank you keepsake table gifts, travel cups, pen and notebook set, gloves, combo tool ... ect.   Very social personable event that our clubs Landowners and Volunteers really look forward every spring.
