    Is That The Fat Lady I Hear Singing In WI?

    I'll give it another 10 days for Vilas County WI trails to recover but does not look good now or JD's long range forecast for a big snow. Thinking most Vilas Trails will be soupy this weekend. Trail closures are creeping ever closer Lincoln County closed yesterday so we are at about Hyw 8 now...

    Animosity Regarding Off Trail Powder Riders & Long Track Sleds?

    Seems to be a lot of animosity lately regarding off trail powder riders & long track sleds. I ride with a 136 ripsaw track with 108 studs on a few unplowed forest roads but for the most part I'm a high mile trail rider. What am I missing? Ride whatever length track you want. Ride off trail or...

    How Much Is Too Much?

    2011 Yamaha line up released & pricing for top of the Line Apex is $15K & $14K. These sleds have all the features you can think of except they don't make snow so still only winter time use. :>) These are great sleds don't get me wrong & I think 2011 pricing for all new sleds are going way up...

    What To Do When Deer Appear On Trail At High Speed?

    What do you do when you are wailing along WOT or less in daylight on the trails & there it is the dreaded deer crossing? There is no time to stop. What works best? This may sound goofy but I hit brakes then head straight at the deer in the trail. Reason I do this is most times deer will move to...

    Thinking Out Of The Box For Tek Vest

    Why not design a high quality jacket, shell or 3 in1 with a built in protection vest? Could also have built in kidney belt too. This way you buy turnkey all at once & do not have to up size for protection. Could use padding, plastic inserts, or air pressure for protection. Hang the jacket up all...

    What Happened To The Deer Killers?

    What was the legal outcome of the dirtbags that tied the deer to a tree & ran other deer down with their sleds last winter? Did they put these gangsters in jail or least fine them many 1000s of dollars. Take their sled registrations away? I also heard one of these criminals may have run a...
