I know it's a ways out, but looks like I'll be making a quick trip for the end of my season 3/21-3/23. I'll be solo again and will probably ride Saturday afternoon, all day Sun, and maybe a little Monday morning. If anyone wants to ride some of that time let me know. I'm staying in Houghton.

Been sitting on pins and needles speculating about this for weeks... http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/gallery/dancing-with-the-stars-season-20-contestants/ss-BBhULOa

Was doing a little surfing and ran across this ad. Best part about it is the last comment where the guy says "open to see what's out there let me know what you have no junk" Look at the photos and everything that's in the background....guess the guy as enough junk already :p...

OK, I'm an official member of the Vintage Club now. Thanks to 700xcsp looking to sell his sleds, and Skiroule pointing out his listing, I'm now the proud owner of a 1972 Panther that runs, and a 72 parts sled to go with it. I worked the deal with Matt during the week and he even sent me a...

How many of you got a PM with a link to some so called discount sporting goods site? Mod's should know, looks like a scammer or company using the site without being a supporter. I didn't go to the link so who knows what it really is.

Saw these at the Mosquito Friday 2/13 mid afternoon. Figured there are a lot of bike guys that could appreciate them. Look at all the details, showed a bike buddy of mine and he kept commenting on the windshield, bags and everything even down to the Harley speedometer.

Doing this Saturday. Staying at D's and dropping down to the Weenie Roast with the Sno Valley Riders club. Mrs Runningbear gave some feedback in the events area, but I've always heard 109 is poor the farther south you go. Same story this year? When does it start getting rough? About how far...

I've been debating about replacing the stock (128") track on my f8 this season. Mine is missing a couple lugs, is studded which I'd like to get away from, and is only a 1" lug. I was planning to buy the Cobra 1 3/8". We only ride in the UP, mainly trails, but I wanted something that would let...

I’m coming up for the Ride-In on Wednesday the 28th through Sunday the 1st. I’ll be solo the entire time so I’m wondering if anyone, or any group wants to meet up for different things over the weekend. Obviously Friday night at the Mosquito and the banquet Saturday are on the list, but I’m...

I know there are a few threads out there about GPS units, but with the new Red Pine Mapping sponsor it has peaked my interest again in getting a unit. I'd consider a new one, or picking up a used one. Probably only use it on the sled, and mainly in the UP and N WI. I have the Polaris app on...

At the risk of starting a "brand bashing" thread, I'm looking for some advice on new skis for my 07 f8. I'm mainly on the trail and I'm running the stock skis now. I've got bergstrom triples with shims on them and have a stock track with 102 studs. I get some pushing through the turns so I'm...

OK, went to Applebee's for early bird dinner, now at home surfing the web and playing 2 suite spider solitaire while my wife is doing "teacher stuff" in the other room. Daughter is having 2 friends over and they are decorating cookies in the basement. Hope I make it up till midnight.

Pat's to Krupp's on Trail 13 This maybe should have been in the Conditions section but tried to title it and place it were it will get noticed. On Monday I reported the gates were not open on the north end of trail 13. I had planned to go by Tuesday but ended up staying up north all day. I...

Same thing happened two years ago, no one had posted anything and while my pictures well be nothing special, I couldn't pass up posting the first thread in this section. Too bad I didn't really take the time to shoot more or worked at getting better ones. Oh well, someone had to start the ball...

Hope you have a great day!

I know there have been a couple of these in the past month, but I'm trying to compare 2 specific boots so if you have some experience with either of them it would be great to hear about it. They both have some type of Black Friday deal going so I plan to order a pair of one of them before the...

Some of you know I'm a project manager for a substance abuse, mental health organization. About one year ago we had the opportunity to sell one of our main buildings in an area of town that we wanted to move out of. The problem was we didn't have a place to move the 100 employees that see...

As I posted in a thread about the Milwaukee show, I planed to buy a lift when I went to the show but my wife came with and gave me the "you don't need one of those" looks. Well I still looked at them when I was there and really liked the ones made by a guy named Joe Wipperfurth who started a...

I know this has been a topic probably every year about if you can ride across without or not, but wondering if there is a "regular" date they put it down? Any ideas if it will be in place for opening day or is it usually later than that?

Trying to figure out a way to make a few more trips this year either solo, or with my son. Really thinking of camping in the trailer now that it's finished inside. I have a propane heater and the trailer is insulated and wired so it would be a cheap way to spend a weekend riding. Anyone know...
