    Miles......

    I don't know that I have any desire to put on those kind of miles anymore. I do enjoy blasting down the trails when they are nice but if there's deep snow I'd rather put on 75 miles that day with a bunch of stucks. Not gonna find these on the groomed trails. It was very deep up there last...

    North shore 3/16

    Trails were excellent today. Did hear that they will not be grooming south of Finland any more which is to bad. Shout out to Ski Roule. My daughter had to stop and take a picture of the red rocket turning over 5555 miles. Man that thing has been dependable. All I’ve done since we’ve owned it...

    polaris speedometer issue

    On my wifes RMK the speedo is acting crazy. Says its doing 50 at idle, the max speed says 150, and its added a 1000+ miles to the odometer (not happy about that). I rode it from the shed to the trailer and put on 4 miles in 100 yds. Did some research and everything is pointing to the speed...

    Consequences Of Poor Grooming?

    Not sure about the other trails you mentioned but the North Shore trail was groomed both Friday and Saturday night. My son and I rode it late Friday night and we were making first tracks. Also crossed it late Saturday night and it had been recently groomed.

    North shore riding 12/31 the griswold family vacation continues

    So as somebody mentioned in my previous post it sounds like a Griswold family vacation. Well it got even better today. We got about 4-5” of snow overnight and headed up the state trail towards Lutsen/Devils track area. We were stopped right where the trail crosses Sawbill trail outside of Tofte...

    Fun trip to cabin

    So we were heading up to Finland Saturday morning and rolling thru Duluth. Just under the 21st at bridge on I35 the rear end of the truck lost traction and went sideways. I was fighting that sucker for a couple hundred yrs with a loaded 4 place trailer behind me all over the freeway. I even said...

    North shore riding

    Got up to cabin and there’s a ton of snow here. Running the ditches into town both kids were stuck. Local trails around Finland are not yet being groomed, supposed to be groomed on Monday. Today we went north and rode forest roads, great riding.

    Torque setting on ATV rebuild

    I know I should post this in the ATV section but this area gets much more visibility. I am reassembling a Sportsman 500HO engine and am wondering what the torque should be for the cylinder head bolts. If anybody knows I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks!

    HAY DAYS Who went? What'd U Think?

    We were there for both days and camped across the Hwy at the Chicken Coop. Walked every row of the swap and agree with crispynite, too many people just camping there. Was a little dismayed when I saw the mess some of the swappers were leaving behind on Sunday. Empty cans and bottles. I joked...

I was quite surprised as I've always wanted a full suspension bike but would never buy something like this for myself. This thing rides so nice and...
