    Kind of confusing why they wouldn’t leave them open for the weekend… likely the last and only hurrah.

    Off trail riding on the local news

    TOTALLY understand, but if a bicyclist cut across your property every day to save time on his daily bike ride, you would never know, until 1 day bam he hits a tree and breaks his arm and sues you. Does everyone jump on the ban all bicyclists bandwagon? No. I’m not trying show any disrespect...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I get all that guys, I really do, I’m just simply saying, because we leave (harmless) tracks in snow, everybody wants to hang our heads, and I just can’t fathom how we as society got to this point… Like I said, if an ATV trail ran in the same spot and there was a cool jump on this power line 50...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    Didn’t really complete my thoughts on this previously so I’m going to give it another go… I’ve done my fair share of off trail riding in the UP in legal areas over the past 10 years. Have never done so anywhere in Wisconsin as it is not legal, and no thrill in <2’ of snow that Northern WI...

    Catalyst pricing

    While I do agree that Walker Evans and KYB shocks are nothing special, if they were chasing Cat, then why does Poo and Doo hold 3/4 of the market share? And it shows out on the trails as those 2 are by far the majority. I realize everyone has the right to their own opinion, but I think 75% of...

    Road closure around the LDF reservation

    They’re demanding $20 mil… What a shame!

    St.Germain to porcupine Mtn and back

    Yep, I suggested to him to take the grade from Marinesco to Wakefield and over to bergland on 8.

    Catalyst pricing

    I hate to be that guy, but I feel like the Cat faithful is overreacting about a chassis that will still be on par or behind what Poo and Doo is currently offering in both trail and mountain segments. They have been 2-3 steps behind Poo and Doo for years now, by the time 2025 rolls around and...

    St.Germain to porcupine Mtn and back

    I’m sure there’s 6-8+ now. A month ago, we had 1 week of cold, but super warm temps before that. And that area got piled with snow early on which insulated the ice. I would say I lean towards land trails 2/3 of the way for safety. 1/3 of it because it’s boring. Also, trails that usually loop...

    St.Germain to porcupine Mtn and back

    I know the east side of the lake doesn’t freeze well and tends to heave. A month ago when I was last up there in that area, there was no more than 2” in the middle of the lake and there was people riding across it. Unless I’m super destination driven and need to save time, I usually always take...

    Hope you guys are getting your riding in, it’ll all be over by Sunday…

    St.Germain to porcupine Mtn and back

    Lake will definitely be quicker! I’m not a lake guy and have always avoided Gogebic. All good suggestions.

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I saw the post, and I believe it is a major issue, but I’m not buying that “the town of woodruff” will shut that down… no way… One thing nobody has mentioned on this topic is the fact that snowmobiles leave Tracks. How many atvs/Sxs ride where they aren’t supposed to be, but it goes unnoticed...

    St.Germain to porcupine Mtn and back

    If it were me, I would take trail 6 out of the west side of St G, hook up with 15 and north you go to Boulder Junction, continue north on 15 out of BJ and it turns back into trail 6 and head up to Presque Isle. Take that across the MI border and it turns into trail 1, run that up to Marinesco...

    Interesting Observation

    Yep!! We stopped at Stillwater’s in star lake 2 Fridays ago at 10:55. First ones there, when we left around noon there had to be 50 sleds there!

    Interesting Observation

    Yep… another thing to keep in mind is there is hardly ANY LODGING in the LMT area… I would love to ride that area more with the family but there’s nowhere to stay. The areas attakman mentioned has an abundance of lodging for snowmobilers to stay at. Also on a side note, I know TONS of people...

    Mines the non electric shield model. Also extremely warm and very quiet to wear.
