    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    The clutch side ring mount seems like it will make removal/reassembly easy/accessible if I am thinking right, or a real PIA. What I find interesting is the ring is flat on the bottom. Does that mean the engine casing is similarly flat with rounding on the other three sides?

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    I wonder how much seat foam has evolved? When/if you replace it, do you get your choice of foam density and how does one decide firm vs soft (like picking a mattress which I have been unsuccessful throughout my life). You got me going online and researching Kaw and wondering how many of the...

    Weather for 2026/2027

    💯 Weather terminology today is just baffling. Marginal means large hail, WTF. I think what we’re seeing is a generational change in Weather forecasting in terminology and trying to Tic Tok the “experience”. There’s more reliance on algorithms than on actual practical observations. Seeing as...

    GoPro

    I have a GoPro v2. It worked/works really well. The cold affects battery life so plan to have spare batteries and memory cards if you plan to run it longer than a couple hours. Mine came with numerous different mounts and I used a 3M backed quick mount and put it on the side of my helmet...

    Where do we go from here?

    Hey Brian, a guy has a “fugly” for sale in Toledo, $3,500… I am with you on old… Kelly got me researching and the Sno Jet by me is a sweet looking sled.

    Scorpion Corporate video “Seven Deadly Sins”. https://www.trailasled.com/ History of Scorpion - I love how they went with a wider design, 33” stance 😳

    Where do we go from here?

    When I saw you had two sleds of interest, I immediately had to look them up! A Sno Jet (77 restored) is right in my town! I always pasted over the ad because it was a light blue and I mistakenly thought it was a Suzuki. There is a guy about 50 miles from me that has a field of Suzukis (I think...

    Where do we go from here?

    Kelly, you know we all will tell you to go for it. However I don’t want to push you financially. That said I suspect if there is a unit in your fleet you would part with that would provide some space and funds to move forward. If you could only do one more sled, what would that be? What sled...

    This is just a suggestion

    Interesting stuff. My last foray into computers was with Cray when they got bought out by Silicon Graphics in the mid 90’s. I followed the scientists explanation of using servers and arrays of PCs to harness computing better than the Cray Computers (some sort of theory of it is faster traveling...

    Boondock Inn Vintage Sled Event 2026

    Seriously cool! Congratulations on the win! At the beginning of the video hearing the ole single cylinders and then the ride in the woods really took me back to those days. Those days of no trails/grooming once a month and the slow pace going through the woods. After years of handling 4 strokes...

    Helmet recall

    Every helmet has its warts. Last week when I had to use the back up sled I thought the rca plug went out. Pulled out the old BRP Mod 3 helmet to keep riding. I had had the Mod 2 for 12 years and the Mod 3 for 5 years. Really liked them but that day last week going back to the Mod 3 was so...

    Helmet recall

    I got that also on occasion. And we know my shield was not getting power. My Flow shield does allow infiltration as it has minor gaps in the wiper and big build up of snow on the shield mounts. These gaps are significantly larger on the original shield. Based on my experience, run continuity...

    Plymouth, eh. I hate summer but love Road America! Had the season pass when I lived in WI. Now just make the IMSA race end of July… (summer su$ks, car races make it tolerable)..

    Helmet recall

    Well the saga continues. BRP approved my helmet replacement. Went to pick it up last week (not the original dealership) and the helmet was the wrong color but more importantly it was broken. What might make matters worse is the original sales receipt reflects the color that came as the...

    Been a banner year for me!

    Congrats Brian! This past week was fantastic. Odds are good we zipped by each other yet again! Hey, we at least know we were w/in 5’ of each other in Gwinn. 😂 We base out of a place right at that section of 7/8, 8/417. We call it the Orphan section since it seemed problematic this whole season...
