Honestly, If i'm in a rush I order from them. Ordered all my stuff with a new girl the other day. If I'm not in a rush, Red River Yamaha. Dani, Becca and Brian have always been very good to me there. Just takes a long time to get stuff.

07 Phazer 500. Rolled over 10,000kms last season with it. Other than the pivot arms breaking it's been rock solid. Average over 2500kms/season since I purchased 3 years ago.

Morning all

10k! That's crazy. I think I put 1500 miles on mine in 2 winters...lol

Nice sleds Grant, they both look mint

Have you guys been riding out there yet? I put 5 miles on mine last night, hopefully we get some good ice soon and I can starting riding our trails.

We got a dump yesterday, but I still think we need more base.

I think we have enough base here, once the main lake freezes thicker and we can get to our main trails I'm sure they will start grooming. I won't dare go in the ditches yet though, learnt the hard way last year on finding rocks, lol

Awesome family shots Grant!! Here's my chitlans.



Yes, and being from Garson, were right in that snow squal belt. Always seem to get alot more than other area's. If I was to guess, 6" yesterday + Then last night we woke up to another 2" on the ground EASY. Thank god for an awesome neighbor I have. He's a parapalegic and I maintain all his toys. (all coverted for him to use) He broke a shear pin in his new Kabota yesterday and after I fixed it for him he blew out the snow for me. Then the wife and I went out at 10pm and did the front 1/2 again!!
Your probably wondering, just snow blow it right.......I made the mistake of trading my simplicity 27" 5hp to a customer (felt bad for the older fella) for his older, bigger mastercraft. Straight up. Well 5 minutes into the 1st time using it the motor blew.
Watching and waiting for a Yamaha blower. Add another Yami to the fleet.

This was around 2pm yesterday.

Morning Brett. No, I haven't been out. Broke suspension in the spring and left it for a fall project. What should have been a couple hour Pivot arm change turned into 2 pivot arms and some wheels. Now waiting for a backorder part "Pivot Arm 2". Driving me crazy not to be out yet, usually mine are the 1st set of tracks up and down hwy 44!! Unreal how that broke but i'm always out early, so rocks/garbage is a factor, and i'm really hard on my Yami.
Here's a shot from my 1st year of sledding on a 500SS in fall of 2009.



It's no wonder I break stuff.

Great pic's ATV. Years ago my inlaw's had a lake front house on Pinawa Bay off the Lee River. I remember driving down 44 and wondering, how come they get more snow than us.

Personally, I love the winter time. Really can't complain about weather at all we have. I love the heat (hate the skitters) and Love the winter ( not the hovering around 0 mark part.....slushy roads, hard to keep truck and trailer clean)

Morris..... ITS HERE
