Have you been out on it yet?? What type of range are you getting? Reviews I'm seeing is that its significantly less range than something like the Trek Rail with the bigger battery/motor and quite a bit less "oomph" than it also. I usually don't ride more than 15 miles at a crack on my current...

Our first one isn't until Fathers day weekend but after that we have one for Kakabekka Falls in Thunder Bay and Hay Days of course. Going to be a busy summer with selling the house and getting moved so hopefully we'll get some more planned.

That's a real good price.

I'm being quoted about 10K for 34X26 slab. 5" thick with 12" thickened edges. But thats north shore of MN and everything is expensive up there.

How much was the concrete for that size? Looking to do a garage/pole building at my cabin and trying to understand costs.

We were joking about your leather suit recently. I think that thing weighed 30 lbs when we got to the Trestle. We burned a lot of gas that day but its one of the best days I've ever had up there. Funny is that's the only time we've ever rode together. This winter we'll have to correct that. I'll...

Kevin, remember this ride? I burned so much gas this day, breaking trail for 90 miles in about 2' of fresh. Up by our cabin we got close to 70" of snow in April that year, 2013.

With the passing of OJ Simpson they just announced that at the time of Nicole's murder John Elway was a prime suspect. They were looking for a slow white Bronco!

They work great. I've had the Apache bags on sleds for 8 yrs now and have never had an issue or damp item in them. It would be nice to be able to remove it and maybe I'll take a look at adapting a Linq system to it this summer.

If anybody ever watches Muskoka Freerider on You tube he uses the Linq system with a Milwaukee Packout box. He hauls a lot of stuff with him.

Never thought about it, that might work.

I think I was on it once up by Tower?? I don't travel far from home to ride. If I ride around home, Cloquet, I will get on the Munger once in awhile but just for short sections. Otherwise I'm 99% in the Finland, MN area.

So we ride primarily the North Shore and its all twisty trails so my normal speed might be 35-40. Forest roads we'll run at 50-70. Lots of boondocking at 10-20. We don't have RR grades up there where you can run 80+ (plus we have a 50 MPH speed limit in MN) but there are times we get on lakes...

I don't have any great pictures of it but I just bought a hard sided plastic Apache case from Harbor Freight and used the slots in the Polaris tunnel to mount it. Waterproof, solid, lockable. Can't take it off at night like the Linq bags but at $40 its tough to beat.

I agree with what you are saying and how you ride. I have zero need for the speed of my 850 and have actually geared it down and I'm sure it's never even seen 85 mph. When I say fun factor I just reference grabbing the throttle and pulling the ski's, the acceleration, the ability to pop up out...
