So last week someone passed by me and I thought “whose doing their laundry”? Another time it was “bacon” then “grilled hamburger”. Geez, I’m hungery.

You forgot Homelite. Well, maybe not popular and only made a couple years, basically a rebadged Polaris.

Wife uses the tincture before bed for knee pain. Her knee replacement 1 1/2 years ago is still f’ed up. Gabapentin was the only way she could sleep. The tincture enhanced the gabapentin and as of a month ago she removed the gabapentin for bedtime and uses just the tincture. I take a gummy at...

I made the rental sled comment and figure a % of rentals would be seasoned riders. With the weird winters of late, skyrocketing new and used sled prices, It makes sense. After driving home in 30mph crosswinds I wish I wasn’t pulling a trailer.

Retired 6 years and haven’t used a PP since (living the dream!) 😎.

I hear you. It just scared me seeing how many rental sleds were out there, bad driving and tendencies of some people to mimic how cool am I “videos” . As some were flipping me off I thought of my brother who has been riding with one arm since 1987. Our crew is hoping our once long time buddy...

I should have thought about this. I experienced a colleague back in the early eighties and ever since championed business documents that were friendlier. Once PowerPoint pitches exploded in my field it was a constant battle as the businesses had their “special” color required for use.

My go too is garage door hinge spray or CR 656. Use a q tip to wipe it on mechanical parts.

I bought mine last year at last year’s prices out of necessity. Took a tumble and needed a replacement. At today’s price I absolutely would replace it. The Mod 2 was my first love and the Mod 3 not so much. I am snot rag free now! Only have two shell sizes and making removal padding to “size”...

I am resurrecting this debate. Last week up in the UP there was no lack of groups out riding (Except the subzero days). We “expected” people at every corner. What scared me were seeing lots and lots of rental sleds with unit numbers from 1-100. Let that sink in. At one place they could launch...

When I looked for visors last year for the Oxygen there was only bronze and amber available. I like the idea of a blue.

Whitedust, I tend to start riding with the shield not snapped in place with a little gap. After riding awhile and my breathing slowed down I click the shield in. Clicking it in right away this last week (sub zero temps), the amber visor would fog. I also bought a “smoke” visor for sunny day...

dfattack pretty much summed it up for me also, on grades or wide open areas. Cruising for me now is at 60 (trail permitting) with the occasional burst but after last year’s roll over (at 20) dialing it all back. Fyi, this last week I saw no lift on a couple of blips above 70. It might be...

My windshield comes up to below my shoulders. With the Oxygen “aerodynamics” being a larger helmet (I had to go with the xl,2xl,3xl) I can feel my head lifting when motoring above 70. This was not the case with the Mod 2 or 3. If there is a strong cross wind I can feel it.

Wore a Mod 2 for 13 years until no amount of duck tape (wrapped around straws) could seal the shield anymore. Got a great deal on a Mod 3 and used that for about 3 years until the nogging took a tumble, along with the sled last year. The Mod 3 had a tendency to have the vents ice up and restrict...

5 up through Republic is a great ride with a couple twisty sections but generally a good clip. 14 out of Marquette (following it all the way, no extra curricular road short cuts) can slow you down in a fair amount of twist's. I run 4 stroke 137”s and find as I get older I get slower and slower...

Basically you will take 5 to 310 which goes slightly south and east to intersect 14 (East). Just make sure when you leave BB you take the 14 you want to Marquette or L’Anse. This pic was Friday.

This closure caused us to go back down 14 the way we came last Friday. Usually we go up 14 and back 5 but the added distance.

I checked my gps “tracks” only to find they never transferred to the new computer. We were up there Friday and thought I could get some updated ones but after a 12” snowfall on Thursday we didn’t want to miss any of the trails. CR510 is the single road that trail 14 crosses over in multiple...

I need to look at my gps tracks on my big boy computer. As I recall about 3/4 the way up 14 you run the road about a mile or so to hop back into woods on the “trail route”, instead, you go left (technically the road is CR 510) a short distance and pick up the trail crossing back over CR 510.
