    Another trail closure

    That trail was closed for one season about 10 years ago when the guy developing Clearwater lake pulled his easement. There are other ways to get from Eagle River to Three Lakes but this trail is the most direct link. I see tracks off trail all the time in that area. I just dont get it. There...

    Eagle River Wi entertaiment

    Its been years since Weasels burned down and the Frontier was not my kind of place. Bucktail Gentleman's Club opens on November 1st. Lets hope they have snowmobile access. Let the shenanigans begin....

    Crossed battery

    OK, this board is getting slow so I have a question. When I was summarizing my sleds in the spring, I accidently touched one of the battery leads (I think the positive) and the metal part of the battery box at the same time with a screw driver. That caused a big spark. Didn't try to start...

    Modular homes

    Here's my Dickinson Cedar Ridge 100. Couldn't be any more happy with the way it turned out.

    Ski Doo replacement ski

    OK, so I burned through my left side carbide and took about half the ski base with it. I'm looking at just replacing the ski bottom. I've looked at the parts fiche online and they show 2 different part numbers for the black left hand ski. They are 505073786 and 505072854. There are some...

    New Fan cooled sled

    I am looking a purchasing a new non-current fan cooled sled mainly for my daughter and guests to ride. I'll use it occasionally when there is not enough snow cover to provide adequately cooling for my regular ride. There are very few fan cooled sleds being made anymore so I am limited to the...

    Yamaha Venom Brake Light

    My daughter has a 2005 Yamaha Venom. The brake light only activates when the brake lever is pulled almost all the way to the bar. She never brakes that hard so she is basically driving without brake lights. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the brake lever so the brake light...

    Sled storage

    I'm looking for a rack storage system that will allow me to drive one sled on to the rack, raise the rack and then store another one underneath. A few years ago I saw a website where a guy in Madison made them. They were constructed similar to a vertical boat lift. Cant seem to find it...

    Frozen trailer doors

    With the recent rain and somewhat below freezing temps, I had some issues with my Legend inline trailer. The front ramp door was frozen shut, when I pulled on the plastic handle, it came off the aluminum door. It was apparently glued on. What type of glue should I use to reattached it? Also...

    Belt dust

    I had my clutch come out of adjustment and it burnt up a belt pretty good. Now there is belt dust everywhere. What is the best cleaner to get this stuff off. Tried soap and scrub brush but that just seemed to spread the mess out.

    2005 Yamaha Venom Brake Light Adjustment

    My daughter rides a 2005 Venom. I noticed last week that the brake light wasn't coming on when she was stopping. Assumed it was a burnt out bulb. However, I hoped on and squeezed the brake lever and the light would only go on if the brake lever was pulled all the way to the bar. My daughter...

    Battery tender

    Ok, I decided to get lazy this year and not disconnect or take the batteries out of my sleds during summer storage. I store my sleds in my garage and there is some evidence of mice activity although they have never caused a problem. I purchased a 4 bay battery tender which came with the eyelet...

    Ski guides on inline trailers

    Just ordered a 7x19 Legend Inline trailer and wondering how everyone sets up their ski guides. Do you put a set exactly in the middle knowing your going to have to pull a sled to each side or do you run a set on one side or both? Any pictures would be great.

    Switching out hubs

    I have a Floe trailer with the oil bath turbo lube hubs. I hate the hubs, they have leaked constantly since new. Can I simply switch out the hubs for Sure Lube grease fitting hubs or is there more to it than that? Will the sure lube hubs match up to the axle or would switcing hubs require...

    Vintage on/off road bikes

    Why are bikes like Honda SL's and early XL's so expensive? I have been watching e-bay and craigslist for a SL 125 - 250 or an early XL 125 - 250 and I can not beleive how much they go for (don't even get me going on z-50's,lol). More than when they were new. I am almost to the point of giving...
