    Michigan Trail pass increase

    It was how I learned to love my first sled, Yamaha EW433C. High/low gearing and wide track. I like to think I was the first person to use trail 417 between Mqt & Munising before it was a trail.. I still have the old train track maps of the UP 😁 that many are todays trails.

    Michigan Trail pass increase

    Some of us remember the days of no grooming, monthly grooming or weekly grooming. The monster moguls that about a mile down the trail you were thinking “should I turn around”, but you pressed on. Just to rethink turning around 500’ later. But you pressed on regretting not turning around earlier...

    Michigan Trail pass increase

    Agree with everything but the $100 meal 😏. I am cheap so I tend to spend less and tip large….

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    Is the color of the donor piece it’s original color or is it sanded down to fiberglass? I also noticed the name on that piece had white in it but it is red once installed?

    Automotive waxes???

    My leased vehicle (black) came with a ceramic coating. It helps but I am not sure it is worth it. Winter grime still clings on as well as other road dirt. When I had my Sprinter van RV, people were all the buzz for coating. Based on their experiences there are different levels of ceramic...

    Snow Total to date Keweenaw

    Hopefully when it melts down it doesn't cause the destruction like several years ago in Houghton.

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    The clutch side ring mount seems like it will make removal/reassembly easy/accessible if I am thinking right, or a real PIA. What I find interesting is the ring is flat on the bottom. Does that mean the engine casing is similarly flat with rounding on the other three sides?

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    I wonder how much seat foam has evolved? When/if you replace it, do you get your choice of foam density and how does one decide firm vs soft (like picking a mattress which I have been unsuccessful throughout my life). You got me going online and researching Kaw and wondering how many of the...

    Weather for 2026/2027

    💯 Weather terminology today is just baffling. Marginal means large hail, WTF. I think what we’re seeing is a generational change in Weather forecasting in terminology and trying to Tic Tok the “experience”. There’s more reliance on algorithms than on actual practical observations. Seeing as...

    GoPro

    I have a GoPro v2. It worked/works really well. The cold affects battery life so plan to have spare batteries and memory cards if you plan to run it longer than a couple hours. Mine came with numerous different mounts and I used a 3M backed quick mount and put it on the side of my helmet...
