Don't know about the praries, but you can ride in about a foot and a half of snow, even without a track.

That was great - excellent commentary!!

Hey gents, my 2-smoke pipe is crushed at the front from compressing and bending over the frame, looking to get it repaired local in Calgary. Any recommendations? I've had a number of pipes done by Pacific Crest Pipe Repair. The pipes came back looking like new - dents removed, perfectly straight, e...

Just an update: If you all recall, last year for a number of reasons our stud order did not arrive until after Christmas - the biggest factor is how late the order was placed. If you are interested, get on it ASAP -If I have enough volume, I will put an order in on October 11th, and will have the st...
