So we decided to do something different this summer for our vacation. Heading to the BWCA for a week, getting the kids away from the phones/ipods/video games/etc... But, since we don't have a canoe I decided to make one. Another bucket list item. Finished it up last night and we leave next...

Just got home from a camping trip to Porcupine Mountain State Park. Today at my sons request we went to the Adventure Mine in Greenland and do the tour. What a cool place and great tour. It really amazes you the amount of work and hard life's people had back in the 1800's. Swinging a hammer for...

Looking to see if there's anybody riding the north shore in the Finland area this Saturday. I need to head up for the day and would like to get some riding in. I'd be more than willing to show some people the off trail stuff if they are interested. PM me if interested.

Got up to the cabin this weekend and had some great riding. Trails are very good still but icy. End of the day on Sunday they were softening up but it did get down to -22 Saturday night. Rode the NSST on Sunday and some of the Tomahawk and both were very good. Did a little river running and had...

Just picked up my wife's new 600 RMK and seems clutched strong. Are these clutched for higher altitude straight from the factory or do I just need to get more than 3 miles on it?

was riding with my son today when I noticed my MFD had gone out. Stopped for gas, fired the sled up and the display was back. Then it went out again, noticed if I turned handwarmers off/on the display came back on or if I really rapped the throttle a few times. Then out again and would not come...

Since we can't get out and go riding yet I at least had a productive weekend working on sleds. Got them all greased, changed chaincase oil, cleaned exhaust valves, and cleaned up. Sure liked the sled lift I built, makes it a lot easier to work on.

Looking at a Pace American Aerosport 4 place enclosed trailer. Anybody have any information or experience on the quality of these? Its a 2008 thats in like new condition. Only damage would be some hail marks along one side otherwise less tnat 1000 miles on the trailer, never hauled snowmobiles...

Just finished my ground school (Christmas gift from wife) and they offered to take us for a 30 minute flight to see if we wanted to continue on with the actual flight training. So I went on my flight last night assuming it would mostly be sight seeing. Oh no, I actually took off and landed the...

Somebody had posted recently about poor customer service from Klim. I had recently contacted them about a broken zipper on a pair of 7-8 yr old pants. They said I could send them in to be repaired but there would be a charge. I was fine with that as they were pretty old and repair is cheaper...

This is from NOAA's website showing snow depth on the North Shore. The bright red is 50-75". My cabin is right in the red. Lots of snow. The other picture shows a couple of stucks from Friday. i was the sled on the right and I am standing straight up in the picture and am 6'5". Crazy riding...

Anybody know the correct torque value for reinstalling my cylinder and head on a 2010 600 RMK. Need the torque for both the jug and the head. Thanks

In another post I had mentioned I burned down a piston in my 2010 600rmk. Got everything ready to be pulled out now but can't get the injector out of the back of the jug. Any tips on that?

Anybody know what the compression should be on a 2010 600? Mine went down on me Saturday night and I'm going to check compression tonight. Thanks!

OK, here's the scoop. last Friday driving to work got caught up in a multi car accident totalling my 03 Focus with 175,000 miles. Been a good car but don't mind seeing it go. Need to make a decision and replace by tomorrow. Here's the parameters: mid sized 4 door (don't need another truck...

Anybody who has read my posts or seen the pictures I post knows that we are always taking our kids with. They have been coming with us since they were 1 1/2 and 3. First they started in a Equinox snow coach and then a couple yrs later they started riding on the sleds with us. They were putting...

Just sitting in my shed doing some work listening to it rain on the roof. What a depressing sound.

Spent the 26th thru 31st up at our cabin near Finland,MN. WE got up there on the 26th and it didn't stop snowing until the 29th and we picked up 14" of LES. It was my daughters first opportunity to ride on her own also so we didn't put on lots of miles. Trails around Finland were good. They had...

Ok, now that I have my wife's ski doo up and running I am working on an old supersport for my kids. It will not idle, if I stay on the gas and keep the RPMs up it runs but if I let it idle down it wants to die and I have to choke it to get it back running. Would the first thought be the pilot...

Looking for some help in my wife's sled. It's a 2005 GTX 500 SS and it won't start. It's not getting fuel. I've put fresh plugs in, pressurized the tank, used some starting fluid, dumped gas right in the cylinders, nothing. It did fire up when I dumped gas straight into the cylinders for a...
