Section 18(3) of the OHV Regulations states, "The owner of an OHV must attach the licence plate ... securely to the front or rear of the OHV so that the plate is clearly visible." Thats it.

Re: Lots of Shooting Activity

Many of us have been commenting on the increase of shooters the past two seasons, I wonder has there been range closers in the area or something? Along with the safety issue is the mess many of these shooting groups are leaving, it's brutal! It's one more irresponsible user group the area didn't nee...

Re: Wheel bearing question

I run 2 sets of rims, my bikes 2010 and I'm just about to install my 3rd spacer sets & wheel bearings. Repack 2 or 3 times a year depending of where I've been riding.

This whole topic makes me giggle, everybody has to pay educational tax, some people just deserve to pay more! :lol:

Re: Wheel bearing question

Here are a couple things that work for me, but what do I know I pop the shields off almost every bearing I've ever changed, using an o-ring pick for removal and my thumb nail to reinstall & have never damaged one.

Re: *update* Main bearing REALLY stuck on crank

Was there any galling or any other damage on the shaft?

Before you buy a new one, if that's the only damage, dress it up with a machinists file & emery paper, mic it, if its still with in tolerances put a new bearing on it.

Re: What do you keep in your hydro pack/ back pack?

a whistle
instead of JB Weld I carry 2" of two part appoxy putty

I've always want to add a package of Quikclot but it's a bugger to get outside the US so until I do, a waiver release so you can kick the body over the edge might come in handy. :smirk:
