    Bankruptcy questions

    Despite some of the comments in this thread, I hope for your sake your mental health stays level. I always scoffed at the mental health initiatives. In the past year I've know two people who had developed severe mental health issues. Still don't understand it well, but having some first hand...

    Shopping with a sled

    Where I grew up in Eastern Sask it was fully legal to ride anywhere in town during winter provided the machine was licensed. I had months during high school where I never drove a vehicle aside from sled and finished winters with more than 8000 miles from mid Nov- mid March

    Any members laid off due to the virus?

    We work around the world. Alot of our project sites went into Care and Maintenance. Having to layoff a number of people as they can't travel. No idea how long this will go for, but a few of our clients have told people that initial projections are to go back to work in July.

    Technically yes, but its usually counterproductive when you're the one who makes the problems isn't it?

    Daddy Day Care thread

    If they didn't use it I'd probably be a bit grumpy about it, but they've been on it 72 days this year! It's a bit of a disease though...no different than having attachments for a compact tractor...I've built a flooding tool, net movers for the kids, added more lights this year and now...

    How is your sled season going

    Worst season in 35 years of riding. I have 0 miles. Had 4 different multiday trips cancelled, all for good reasons. We had brutal conditions locally, only enough for my little guys to go out. Worst season prior to this was 723 miles. My sled never went ou lt of summerization mode.

    Honing Nakasil Cylinders

    I won't hone a nikasil. Sometimes it's a bit thinner than others and I wouldn't take the risk of honing it right off unless you go into this expecting worst case - your going to replate anyways

    Power to weight ratio or just power?

    There is a happy medium here and always a trade off pick your poison... If it's light, it might not be durable If it's durable, it might not be light If it's durable and light, it's going to be expensive If it's durable, light, and even more powerful, it's going to be even more expensive...

    Joyride tires (Chinese any good?)

    I have a good buddy who owns a busy tire shop. I hang out there every now and then. The difference in trailer tires is substantial. I can take most of the cheap chinese tires and nearly collapse them, tread to tread. Impossible to do with a Goodyear. Their is little sidewall in the chinese...

    850T Update

    Nice writeup Maxwell and video. Some nice riding through the trees. Are you planning to do anything with the rear skid to calm the front end down? It's no different than a NA 850, but I would assume with more power its also more rodeo to ride at times.

    850 engine

    Real mountain riders don't have time for this. There's fresh pow to slay. Turn your go pro on, start it, get it off the truck/trailer immediately and pin it out of the staging area so you're the first guy up to the shelter. Why would you be concerned about the reliability of something that is...
