    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

    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...

    Question on buying a vintage sled

    This may be a dumb question but as I was driving down the road by my house the other day I saw three older sleds behind a persons shed. There were 2 TXL 340's and a older Ski Doo. I really wanted a TXL back when I was in Jr High as another kid had one. No idea if they are used or not anymore, if...

    MN North Shore

    Rode out of Finland on Sunday and ran the NSST north to where you would turn to go down to Lutsen. Trail was pretty good for most of it. There are some thin and bare spots but 95% of it is good. The area where the trail crosses the cramer road til just past the Tomahawk turnoff has been plowed...
