I have buddies from Muskoka that went to Cochrane and asked me to meet them there.     I was doing the math in my head at burning 20L per 100kms in my F150 at 800kms each way from Mitchell and it was going to cost almost $600 in gas for me just to get there and drive home.    Riding 3 days would be $1500-1600 and $1100 of it would be gas!!   Hard pass at this point for me.      Bring on the nice weather and let’s hope that this Iran thing is sorted out by next winter.     

Beat the storm. Dry roads all the way to cochrane. Just starting to snow lightly.  Checked into comfort inn. My Ford 5.0 burned 103 litres towing from Port Sydney. 

Changed the comfort seat out on my 23 900T to a seat from an XRS,  this was a game changer for me, It changed my posture and I sat up higher , this made me like my sled coming from a Cat chassis.  

That is a fail for polaris IMO. The seats are hard and small. Not great if you want to put ten hours in saddle. I may get some foam added on them. 

We still pay for our kid to ride. She simply cannot afford to save for a house and spend on sleds too. You are correct, kids today are hooped.
