Incredible to me I see musher oncoming I would undoubtedly stop let the musher have the trail. Dog team could do anything who knows play it safe pull right and STOP. I had a coyote run out in trail get between me and leader I slowed down thought coyote would exit like a deer. I couldn’t see...

I came up on a musher on an unplowed FR. No way I was going to pass never entered my mind. Stayed my distance until she stopped secured the dogs and waved me thru. Even then I was nervous those dogs have a mind of their own.

Different type of Trails in Lando and used to grooming less snow. Almost all Twistys some larger wider but not grades which Is Watersmeet in a nut shell. Grade grooming can get gravel mixed in the snow which is horrible for your sled. Watersmeet also won’t dispatch groomers if snow depth is...

5” doo TS adjustable installed navagators but never got to test them. Thinking Doo 7” this year if 5 “ worn. I like light and aggressive steering so not sure if snow trackers are the way to go without eps. I found snapping my riser all the way forward helped a lot for aggressive Twistys

Last year I know riders that turned back on the pipeline thought process was it wasn’t worth it too rough. When I went up for my week long trip we wrote the pipeline off not many alternatives with 109 shut down for eastward ride. 8e is always iffy and not the type of trail we wanted to ride. My...

Read in snowtech today Doo working on limited electric sleds understand emodels will have a specific market segment other segments not practical. As I posted previously eboat line launched late summer early Fall. E technology will greatly improve in coming years. I can wait.

Semiconductors we going great guns in early 80s all the high end chips made in USA. Mid 80s the low end chips started to move to Asia USA started to feel the hit across the board on processing equipment but high end was still here. When I left semiconductors in mid 90s USA was feeling the losses...

Who hasn’t ridden the pipeline? I would guess a lot less will since grooming has been going down hill last couple of years. No idea why but once the progression starts down it seems to take a long time to become reliable again. Doubtful it’s funds more likely a people problem best guess. Nobody...

That triple should roar it was the best in its day. Take it in have engine and clutches gone thru. When reworked it is a strong 600. The suspension well that’s another story. 😉

Yep this is bar stool fodder.

Boo hoo deep lug tracks wreak havoc on groomed trails! I mean really who cares? I sure don’t. If you want to ride big miles on a groomed trail on a powder or mountain sled it sucks to be you. Is it possible yes but a terrible riding sled over a trail sled on groomed trails. On Wi hard pak bring...

Always like this week 1 in January.

Have to go with a modular helmet with breath box to avoid glasses fogging. Contacts are another way out. I had cataract surgery on both eyes so ditched the glasses. I still carry glasses Incase I have to fix something on my sled but rather not wear them when riding except at night. Found it’s...

I heard some guy came into dealer and paid double for your Mach since it had all the accessories installed and good to go. Tough year dealers have to make a profit somehow!!!🤣Oh well you still have your trusty Apex to ride. 😎

I have been behind deep lug riders and for the most part they were going slower than I wanted to go on 2 grade. Lots of snow dust but didn’t seem to tear up the trail more than a trail sled. We stay away from the area referenced for the grooming issues mentioned. Once a trail gets severely...

Sixsixone going for cheap if you can find the size you need. I’m not sure what happened stopped making or gone on to something new? I like mine.

5-6 in Waterford ,WI before settling ,dry snow on top of slushy bottom. Heaviest snow fell east of I43 in WI.

Just so you know the battery is back of seat 2019 900t I ran cables out the back to charge or jump to any jumper source. Some have a plug for maintenance chargers. Also can pop the seat via levers to get at battery but I don’t like messing with heated seat harness. Easy peasy.

Are groomers getting thru the race area?

Yikes pedestrians and fat bikes bad mix on a groomed snowmobile trail and over such a long distance. Hopefully all goes well but playing with fire imo seems like terrible planning and risky to all involved.
