    Oldest sled you've ridden?

    1966 sno scoot. Dad traded a welder for it. Rode that thing all over hell. Then we got an early 70's Allouette, from the boys @ Agri Sports in Regina. Actually raced for Allouette for 1 winter on the ovals, then went with ski doo. 40+ yr. ago. Good times.

    Looking at getting a Sled shipped

    Culvert. I live on Hiway 6 between Regina and Plentywood. The closest way to MN. is via Portal, SE of Estevan. It's about 425 miles to Fargo from my place. I used U Ship the last time. Got an enclosed trailer in Indiana and the driver picked up 2 M8's for me in MN. I met him @ portal and came...

    Looking at getting a Sled shipped

    Private shipments of self propelled vehicles need a 72 hr. notice to the US Customs at your crossing point, and the original title. This is for used stuff. Not sure about new, untitled sled. Private shipments must clear at the border, no 'in bond' to dest. There are lots of enclosed trailers...

    What was your first sled?

    We had a '66 SnoScoot as well, but had a early '60's skidoo that came with a farm we bought. We rode the snoscoot so hard once the spark plug popped out and we had to dig thru 3 ft. of snow to find it. Screwed it back in and away we went. Eventually had to helicoil it. My grandpa's advice about...

    One for the gun guys

    The fellow that owns that rifle and the range it was fired at is a friend of mine. He is a member of the ruling family in U.A.E. Some of his aquaintances may be a little suspect. Myself included. Mark

    Valemount newspaper article of the checkstops

    I think the factory is prob. protecting themselves with the single use directive, however, the batteries used are pretty cheezy and pulling the switch directly grounds the battery thru the magnets. I wouldn't think these batteries would last long. Ours was dead when we went to Castlegar, but the...

    Valemount newspaper article of the checkstops

    Following is quoted from the paperwork that came with our 31' MTI trailer. "if the breakaway system is used, or inadvertantly engaged, it is adviseable to replace the battery as this safety system is designed to be a single use system and the battery is not rechargeable" I would have thought...

    Valemount newspaper article of the checkstops

    I think maybe you have trouble with comprehending what you type. However, if you pull the insulator out of the controller, battery is dead within a few seconds, basically what he said was correct. If you feel safer with the gestapo checks, good on ya', wait till you get a windshield stone...

    Valemount newspaper article of the checkstops

    500.We're talking bumper hitch non commercial trailers buddy. Countless times??? I call bullship, or you have trouble counting. I have seen 2 enclosed trailers rolled over and a few campers in mountain areas flipped, but never one skidding down the road, all by itself. As I said before, never...

    Valemount newspaper article of the checkstops

    If you have been in the 'trade' for 30 yr. and never saw a breakaway battery something is amiss here. Most of these batteries only last a season or 2. Real cheap dry cell battery. Good thing you weren't in the gestopo roadside inspections. These inspections are nothing more than a power trip by...

    4' 250 pound muskrat sighting on trans can #1 that bites!!

    Having been in the trucking biz for 39 yr. I can assure you I am serious. There are no anchors in van trailers. Common sense dictates the carrier would try to minimize load shift, mitigating risk to load shift/damage, placing cargo close together and against walls. Some van trailers are 30 ga...

    4' 250 pound muskrat sighting on trans can #1 that bites!!

    For all the safety nazis. Think of all the enclosed van type semi trailers you meet on the street/hiway. Not a single one has any cargo tied down, not one. There aren't even anchors in the trailers. So before you get mouthing about a 450 lb. sled in a trailer being dangerous, think of all the...
