    New Trail 109?

    I do want to add that while it may be legal to get to South Laird Road by ditch, people using South Laird Road better follow the law as it applies to riding the shoulder of roads in an approved county. There are a bunch of houses between M38 and when it turns in to UP12, piss off those people...

    New Trail 109?

    It is legal to ride the Right of Way on a State Highway BUT you have to stay on the extreme right of the open area of the ROW, come to a complete stop and yield to use the shoulder to access a bridge. Here is a link to the Michigan Snowmobile regulations, scroll down to page 2 for highway...

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    I had a truck get totaled out last year, the insurance company used a company called CCC One to assign the ACV (Actual Cash Value). In my opinion it was low, I had to point out several high dollar options I had they did not account for and then they did another offer. Still felt it was low...

    Lutsen lodge burns to the ground

    Just so you know this is a separate property from Lutsen Mountain and is NOT owned by Skinner. This guy is Bryce Campbell and he has had an issue with the DNR for not getting permits to work in a river. Now Papa Charlies burnt in June and that was a Skinner property, had all his computer...

    Thought I broke a belt running at 95 but didn't...

    Years ago I had a sled that puked coolant onto the belt and it instantly over revved and lost momentum at about that same speed. Unsure of your Cats cooling system routing but maybe a thought?

    looking at ski doos, need advise

    Back in 2014 I bought a used 2011 MXZ TnT 800 PTek with 4000 miles for $4000. I bought that on purpose because of the carbs versus the injection. I figured I could always throw in a crank or a new top end myself and not worry about the injection being the cause of a burndown Still have it...

    Winter Tires

    I also use and recommend Blizzak DM V2 winter tires, have some on my truck and also had a set for my previous truck too. They have a different rubber compound than AT or All Season tires that I feel does provide more grip on ice and hard pack. But make sure you only use below 45 degrees as...

    Wakefield access in question this winter.

    You can run shoulders and right of way outside city and villages, BUT if it's in the city of Wakefield they can post it "no snowmobiles" Snowmobiles may be operated on a highway in a county road system, which is not normally snowplowed for vehicular traffic; and on the right-of-way or...

    They're Big & They're Out There

    Actually in WI you can pass other vehicles in a no passing zone if they are travelling less than half of the posted speed limit. But you are correct about the farm vehicles, the law was changed in 2014 to exclude them from being passable. 346.09: Limitations on overtaking on left or driving...
