    Next few weeks of the season...

    Boy oh boy Idk? Vilas and Oneida are closed and looking at the forecast combined with mid March I really wonder if these counties will open no matter how much snow falls. I think the biggest challenge to opening is heavy wet snow and gusts to 40-50 mph winds bringing down trees on all trails...

    Next few weeks of the season...

    It’s time to go south if you can FL was my fav also tried Jamaica Ya Mon! Solar angles too high now for big snow just going to melt into a wet iceberg with water holes. I don’t know if Vilas has interest or funds to groom no matter how much snow they get probably stay closed barrels are off...

    Vilas County

    You just saw how fast warm temps and solar angles shut down the trails. Big snow from now thru April just slows down northern Spring. Things that have to be done in above freezing temps are delayed ,the flowers don’t grow and neither does the grass the piers need to be put in but can’t with ice...

    Yep many that visit have no idea what it’s like to deal with snow removal on a daily bases. I had plenty in Phelps and cleared 3 decks a porch and a front walk to get to the car and my sled. It is a lot of work and at the end of the season things get smaller just nowhere to put the snow. I know...

    Vilas County

    Same here left for FL as soon as my taxes were filed early April late March stayed as late as mid May and still cold when we got back. It was fun to watch Spring develop as we drove south. Once I was getting on a trolley in St Augustine and a buddy called me said hey Pete we just got 2 feet of...

    Then there was the Indian dude eating breakfast on the site back when John was here. JD was frustrated with him but finally eradicated him. Lol that was just a pest compared to current shut down lock ups.

    Dock air compressor box to pump bubbles to tube at bottom of lake.

    What’s your objective? If your on a lake with ice flows bubbler won’t to anything anyway to protect your pier. Thin ice and a light wind will mow your pier down like a match stick. Power of moving ice up north is unreal. They had year round steel piling piers get bent like a paper clips on Lake...

    Participation is going to drop like a rock soon due to Spring either the site self corrects with less traffic or members will drift away as seasonal interests change and difficulty getting on the site just makes it more difficult to stay in touch.

    Florence / Forest County trail conditions

    Now days freeze thaw a rider has to be prepared for all trail conditions. I overheated with my 900t on front part of trail in skimpy snow on 107 asked Ken to drop his scratchers got on his butt and cooled down. Next time out I had doo scratchers installed but never put them down but know I will...

    No talk of new sled offerings?

    Agree ….US customers NOT asking for it so need justification as to Why??? Gas use can’t be part of ROI not worth calculating. In my younger days I was known for fast and off. 😆

    No talk of new sled offerings?

    Unnecessary function adds complexity and cost and what if it can’t be shut off permanently? Then it’s a pita same as auto industry that just went away by law in USA. Must have international implications is my guess.

    No talk of new sled offerings?

    Imo Doo is missing the boat on eps since taking over the 4s sled market. Make eps backward compatible $1k or so installed and dealers would make big bucks as the Yamaha faithful know eps is wonderful helps isolates rider from unwanted steering feedback and great for aging shoulders. Customers...

    No talk of new sled offerings?

    Nothing good to say on doo introduced start stop feature which hopefully can be turned off zero interest in that. No eps or smart shocks on enduro 4s. A few more ponies on 600 good I guess but not impressed. Dootalk not impressed either. I’m interested to see what Cat does with 4s and eps this...

    Something to Consider

    I won’t mount ride lights on my sled too large and nasty but I would Velcro a green or amber high efficiency battery light on my ample windshield and give that a test. Sure lots of inaccuracy with operator error but I’m willing to try something cheap and easy to see if it made trails more safe...
