Defiantly not all headlights project the same light onto the road.
some are very dull and do not light up the road..
problem is for hiway driving;
- the brighter you make the road the small your puples, the duller and darker it is when you shut off your lights - there is a time frame (slower...

Everything we do (And you to) is monitored by AESRD to maintain the SANCTUARY's protection.

was told that they introduced 2 cougars into the Elk Island area 10 years ago to manage the deer population as there is little hunting due to all the acreage's.
The farmers tell me there are a lot more cougars in Elk Island and now 2 down in the Ministik Area (Have not seen any paw prints though)
Did you get the MapSource/basecamp upload/download software with your rino?
There a are few background maps you can use with MapSource
Like just the basic map that came with Mapsource or ETOP Canada or BackCountry Maps
The better the quality the bigger the price ETOP $100.00 but Backcountry Map...
Fastest and cheapest way is MapTown in Calgary
Buy the most detailed areas you ride in the "LAMINATED" version
Great for on the wall of the trailer to discuss where you are going today
but a 24" x 24" or 30" x 30" is to bulky in your pack
-Problem is on the hill no one but you remembers the map...
Backing up is definitely a guy thing....
So many people can not back up with their hands on the top of the steering wheel.
If you dare to let your better half back up- try this little tip:
Have her put her hands on the BOTTOM of the steering wheel - if she needs a little left she moves the...
I have ran my 2010 Can Am Outlander 650 Max with tracks since 2010
I love them
Will go any where go - even up to top of the tracks (without the blade or pulling the trailer)
With tracks -blade - 6' trailer I can go places a regular quad with ITP tires is stuck and still pull them out with...
I imagine it is very much a balancing act to manage your 3 trail systems.
All three areas are under contract to VARDA per season - is that correct?
So the contractor only makes money when the groomer is running and the groomer can only run when VARDA has received sufficent funds to pay the...
HI All
Here is quick way for all the TCSC members to touch base to see who all is going to the ASA Jamboree in Whitecourt this February 11-15, 2015.
You can post a name and contact number and / or where you are staying - so you can meet up for a ride/ Lunch or even a beer later.
So I need to ask this question
Where are the UNMANED/DOT weight scales around EAST Edmonton
Goggled for an hour and read so much crap that I came back to S & M to ask for help
I may be overweight and do not want a ticket to find out how bad I may be overweight - you know just to be safe
How did things work out?
did you get to Caterac Creek
How did things go?
Need some pictures, getting cabin fever here in Edmonton with no snow and +5 weather.
