    Best tunnel bag?

    One reason I was looking at the linq bags is because I'm getting a doo 900 from a relative as a 2nd sled. Buying it mainly as a family sled but I may end up taking it on longer trips because it saves gas or if I end up replacing my other sled, I'll have this one in the meantime. I was looking...

    Best tunnel bag?

    Looking for opinions on tunnel bag. The zippers are shot on the one on my cat, so I was thinking about trying out one of the doo ones with an adapter. The one/off functionality looks really good. Looking on the doo site, people were complaining the 21L one is too hard to get stuff in and out of...

    ANY update on the Mosquito??

    Buyer backed out. Cited family emergency or something like that.

    That's good to know it can be maintained without too much trouble.

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Agree. I hit a buried rock on the side of the road on the way up to the snowies from centennial in February. Wasn't going very fast and I really don't know how it happened so fast but it knocked my sled over on top of me and I took the handlebars in the side of the leg and had pretty good...

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    this is a doo discussion but the 600 cats in our group, mine included, use little oil - seems like too little to me, but we haven't had issues. Of course my sled before that was a poo 600 with a carb and it was set way too rich. I figured at the time that oil was cheap enough so I didn't worry...

    Hmmmm? BRP acquires Polaris Industries Inc.

    Yamaha is buying BRP, that's why they got out. Sale closes today.

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Like you mentioned I think a lot of people like the low oil usage of the 600 isoflex engine.

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    I'm in the same boat, except I'm not sure about the young part anymore. 800/850 I think is necessary at elevation but not needed in the flatlands, but 600s aren't enough with the taller modern sleds. I haven't ridden a poo 650 yet but the price seems excessive whenever I'd looked. I don't ride...

    old abe is a year older today! Eh?

    Happy birthday Mr Abe! Hope you can get back on it next season. Guess you picked a good one to miss.

    Who's Been Out

    That's pretty cool. How is it mounted? Looks like some kind of linq rack?

    Thank you for the Journal Nora

    Thanks for writing and sharing. You wrote this - it's something I have thought about quite a bit this winter: We tend to remember tidbits of information by events that are going on in our lives. I wonder if people will remember the winter of 23-24 as the winter John Dee left this earth and it...

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    We drove by Mountain Meadows a couple times while out there. Thought about trying that out sometime. Hoping to get back to Ontario next season. Old Mother nature obviously wasn't cooperating this year. They had some spots with snow at times but not enough to be worth the trip for me at least.

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    Funny you ask since I ended up getting the wrong ones, but didn't know it until we were up on the hill and installing them in the trailer. We kind of decided to go west at the last minute, and a bud I ride with has a similar sled and called a shop that did a reflash for him before to ask about...

    Retirement Scenario

    Be curious what happens to some of the northwoods towns over the next 5 - 10 years. I know many have gone busier with more year-round residents following the covid changes. I'd guess long term many of these people would not want to stay up there year-round but I could be wrong.

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    Appreciate it. I was thinking just changing springs (and weights and pins if it needs it), but if it needs more than that, then I'd probably let someone else handle it. I did end up with some adjustable weights that we used at the snowies. The range of those weights covers the flatland weight so...

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    That's too bad you just chucked it! The only trip I went on this year was to the snowies, and I did put different weights in it for that. The pins came out easily enough. Are the roller bushings the part in the spider that the weight pins go into? I won't know much until I can get at my sled...
