Winter's here!! Let's go sleddin'

AV42Medics · Aug 13, 2003

Dont know how many Ontario Av owners are also runnin' sleds, just thought it was a cool idea and maybe a feasable one.

willmood · Aug 14, 2003

If you get some interest count windlove and willmood in.
We have a pair of touring sleds and some of the best trail here in Muskoka.

Yea, I know Pyd owns a sled.

dichris · Aug 14, 2003

Sounds good!!!!

But I don't have a sled.... Maybe take the AV down the snow packed trail

?

I don't have a sled. you are probally thinking of the ones you had seen on my property, they belong to a friend. I used to have one, but gave it up.
Jenn and I always have access to snowmobiles, and we would most likly be in.

dichris,

could always put a set ov mattracks on the Av... >:D

bryker · Aug 18, 2003

hey, pyd, just like dichris is suggesting take the Av on the trail, just remember its a lease.

It's only a lease if I dont break it. GM strictly follows the " you break it, you bought it" clause. Looks like Ownership is just around the corner.
Last winter I took the snowmobile trails almost 70 km from one town to the next, in the Av. Too mucky for sleds..

Do you have a set that I can try out...... If I like them I'll buy them... :-X

Need about a month or 2 to really test them....... >:D

willmood · Sep 10, 2003

I was south on the weekend and my pair of sleds looked like they were getting ready for a nice cold GTG in our area or Doug's area .
Thats ice riding, ice fishing , and the around the raft race is much easier , even if there is no LEASE involved.
Three feet of powder for Feb and trails that run forever.
Think AVs in the cold.

dichris · Sep 10, 2003

Wait til Feb to see snow :7:

I better see a lot a snow and Ice on the 22nd of Sept....

Why else would they call it Glacier Bay?

willmood · Oct 30, 2003

Doug , after seeing yaks streets , it makes you wonder when the sledding starts or stops there.
When does the season start at your place ? We are hoping for at least the begining of Dec.
You need a break from spring planning or was that planting , anyway think snow!!!

AV42Medics · Oct 30, 2003

vrooom...vroooom :6:

All I can do is make the noise :6:

I NEED SNOW!!!! and a trailer

If I get my hands on a trailer soon I'll come up for a visit in Dec to enjoy the muskoka trails

Gene · Oct 30, 2003

Oh sure I get rid of my sleds, and don't you know it... a winter GTG.

Figures. but I'm not bying another one now... at least for a while. So if someone wants to lone me 1 I'm IN.

G.

willmood · Nov 1, 2003

Gene; we will get you looked after somehow, or easily if a certain windsomething doesn't show up.
Doug , have you bookmarked the muskoka snowmobile region yet?
Thats "www.msrsnowtrails.com" if you do.
This will give you trail conditions and all the other items that you may be interested in.

AV42Medics · Nov 1, 2003

Thanks for the link Bill, I'll keep an Eye on it

I thought I saw an old 340 or 120 up at your place, maybe Gino could ride that

dichris · Nov 1, 2003

Gene

Use a loaner machine, that'll slow you down somewhat!

I use to have a 72 Nordic with a 399 engine........ top speed was about 40 mph, slow, but man it would knock down a few trees pretty good! Smashed rear axle a few times as well and flatened out the boogie's ( do you remember those ).... Fun times as a kid...
Hey when you paid $200.00 for the machine, you didn't mind fixing the damages to it....

No more toys ( with the exception of the AV ).. down the road a nice harley!

Chris : my first machine was a 68 olympic about 18 horses , our dealer still has it, all polished up and labeled an antique . He will not sell it back to me YET. (maybe for Gene)

Bill

dichris · Nov 1, 2003

Bill

18 horses.... for Gene

He'll think he's going in reverse!

Definately one way of slowing him down!

Chris

AV42Medics · Nov 1, 2003

Considering Gene's AV and his motorcycle, I would think if he did have a sled it would be the cream of the crop....Arctic Cat ZR900 with DiamondDrive

Backroads2 · Nov 1, 2003

Or a signature series Rev..

I'm in! I will most likly be with a group of non AV owners (silverado, H2) but we're coming.

Gene · Nov 2, 2003

Thanks to everyone that has offered to hook me up.

However those of you who actually know me. If I had to ride an 18 horse... know me well enough that I would prefer to take out my sinlge horse and give Avy4 a ride and see what burns up. >:D

whitethunder · Nov 2, 2003

Sorry, No Sled! :C:

Gene · Nov 3, 2003

Ira, you don't need a sled...
With those size dogs, they can pull you around no PROBLEM

G.

i2tall2c · Nov 4, 2003

I am interested... I think...
First Question, How far are we talking from the BlueWater Bridge? I have 4 sleds and travel quite often 4 or 5 hours to get to MI upper P region. Have always heard there are several good areas in Canada.
