Sometimes better to fix/update what you have than jump 2 feet into the fire. Don't know anyone down your ways for engine rebuilds.

Gentle giants when they are treated right.

You should buy lottery tickets. Nice of them to fix the problem.

All I can tell you that the OPP have handed out about tickets in our area. I don't poke the bear.

That's real nice of you Lew.

Furry Friends got the Xmas donation this morning, a lot of these places rely solely on donations. A couple dollars of food and other stuff goes a long way to help them live.

If you're not sitting in it on a windy day you better have it anchored down, otherwise you'll be doing a marathon run trying to catch it.

Do you mind, I'm washing my .......

Have to go look tomorrow, looks good.

Most definitely.

We got her in Dec 09, unfortunately after 3 years, she would put the run on the wife, aggressive association behaviour because the wife got between her and a coon on the deck. When you do that, they think you are part of the problem. Great loss for me, we took her back to Furry Friends who found another home for her. She was my little watchcat.

NEVER

Quite the episode, the do not call list is pretty much a waste of time. I'm sure the duct monkeys have us all on speed call via Pakistan or India. Every day it's a different number.

Welcome back, nice crappie

If they were no good, DOT wouldn't allow them. I would take the radials, roll a lot cooler and give better traction.

Got a text this morning from 1-705-493-1735 indicating they were sending me money. Click on www.etransfer-interac.ml to receive your refund. .ml is Mali, somewhere out there in the jungle. Bunch of baboons thinking I pull my pants up with vice grips.

Well lets say for about the last 20 years or so, information became available with the simple left click of the mouse. I put up a post and say that I caught my limit in an hour at spot Y on lake X, free parking is available at spot Z. Not to forget, you can get bait at provider A. Now you know why some forums don't allow specific info of X and Y anymore, obviously a little late. I can remember when I first found a forum around '96 or so about Lake Simcoe and we had our first M&G there, about 15 people, give or take. From there it exponentially exploded to several boards with several thousand readers. Misfish, Ravine Rat, Big Chevy, Lady Walleye, Tin Banger, Rather Be Fishing, etc were there. Now if each one of us put up a post that a few more individuals each read...see how the mountain of users increases.

It has absolutely nothing to do with brand loyalty. When you see and encounter some of the junk out there and wonder why they can get away with marketing it, it goes back to $$$$. You can buy brand X for 1$ and then spend the other $$$ keeping it going. Or you can do it right from the start. I've seen more Polaris break downs in the last 10 years that keeps me from ever going to them. I'm not including their snow mobiles as I have no interest in them. On the other hand 2 brand new Arctic Cat 570's had to go back right away to have the bendix replaced and also the head units. One day you went 70km, the next you went 7000. The mechanics just shook their heads.

Why?

That's cuz they're taking the scenic route in and out of ditches, through the rhubarb patches and everywhere else except the road..

After market seats do not cut the mustard when stopped on trails or roads. They are not legal unless on your own property.

Ya, I know, Don't think looking the the back of someones head is the most fun thing for a 2 up. Friend of mines got a Polaris RZR, brand new, didn't get far, lower rad hose rubbed through on the CV joint, loss of coolant and required a tow back on the first trip. Another has a new Polaris 2 up, (bought early summer) well he didn't get far either, stater went for a poop, no charging, Finally after about 4 months they had to cannibalize one from a new machine in the showroom, parts still on back order. Kind of makes you wonder why people buy this junk, it must be the cheap price to get them out the door.

Well, in that case take a look at the Kawasaki Teryx.

What he said, some nutbars can wreck a machine in 500km. We had a couple of 2004 450 Kodiaks at work, one with just over 10,000km after 10 years and I would have bought it. I've seen a couple with around 3500km and everything on the drive line was wobbling and loose. I would avoid anything with over size tires, lift kits, snorkels etc, like the plague, you know they have been submarining in the swamps, maybe even flooded the engine and all the electronics. I wouldn't touch Arctic Cats, Can Ams or Polaris either. Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki are far more reliable. We got 2 new 650 Can Am Outlanders at work, more shop time than on the road. Polaris are notoriously bad for cold weather. Artic Cats, well low end of the totem pole.
