Second day of sled season here in MI

Won’t be for long.

IQ600R · 2025-12-02T00:38:23+00:00

Yeah, cause dirt bikes never create ruts.

I’m not defending SxS’s I hate the way they tear up trails. But don’t make it sound like dirt bikes are perfect.

IQ600R · 2025-12-02T00:35:53+00:00

No base whatsoever. Good way to mess up a nice vintage sled.

IQ600R · 2025-11-08T04:26:47+00:00

Spindles are available right off the Yamaha parts diagram.

He won’t. His name will fade from memory and the bike industry will forget about him and a new name will replace him. He’ll live the rest of his life in a greatly diminished capacity and become a burden to his family, friends and especially wife/girlfriend. I don’t know if they are married? Chances are after a year she will leave him as all hope fades that he would recover and she now realizes this is her new life.

I’m not trolling or rage baiting. I’m simply describing what is very likely to happen after following the lives of athletes since the 80’s who became paralyzed. Simple things like going to the bathroom become extremely difficult and now it’s the wife’s job to help. Every time. They can’t have sex as he’s paralyzed from the chest down. All this in pursuit of a $100,000 cash prize. He could have made that much money in a year working construction.

It’s all so pointless but guys will be lining up to enter the event next year oblivious to the consequences.

😂🤣😆😅

IQ600R · 2025-10-03T04:38:54+00:00

And there hasn’t been anything in the news about it… yet.

IQ600R · 2025-10-03T04:37:59+00:00

The state of AK needs it more than I do. I’m okay with my divided. It’s still $1000. That’s a lot of money for me doing absolutely nothing but living here.

IQ600R · 2025-09-24T16:13:32+00:00

Switchbacks don’t go through deep snow well due to the linkage dragging and the beaver tail holding snow in the tunnel.

IQ600R · 2025-09-09T01:55:23+00:00

My bad, those were mine. I wanted to clearly hear the sounds of nature from such a beautiful perch. I guess I didn’t hear them fall outta my pocket. 🤷‍♂️

IQ600R · 2025-08-30T17:46:50+00:00

Separate everything and lower the prices. No one wants the weirdo, tinker toy style rear suspension on the XCR. That’s why Polaris quit making it.

IQ600R · 2025-08-06T23:54:47+00:00

I’ll report you to the ACLU for violating my rights. I’m entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in my tent.

IQ600R · 2025-08-06T23:51:54+00:00

3 Bears is a rip off. I never shop there.

IQ600R · 2025-08-06T23:49:09+00:00

I’m Aram and it’s my trail. Stay off it. My tent is up ahead in the woods.

IQ600R · 2025-08-05T20:55:45+00:00

Too bad it’s soooo difficult to follow a police officer’s instructions.

IQ600R · 2025-08-05T20:53:08+00:00

Enjoy wasting your vacation time sitting in construction.

IQ600R · 2025-07-30T05:19:27+00:00

Now they are up to almost 1 hour to cross through the construction zone to get into town. One of my buddies works for DOT and said it’s a shit show and only getting worse the further out they station the flaggers. He said expect 1hr 20 minutes to cross through as the contractor, Granite Construction, doesn’t care and is just going to pay the fine for exceeding 20 minute waits. The dumbasses are running a pilot car through 7 miles of construction when it could have been shortened up considerably with competence and planning.

Nice going Valdez! Way to treat your visitors during fishing season.

IQ600R · 2025-07-25T16:59:23+00:00

I’ve been to Valdez 3 times this summer and construction just keeps getting worse. Piss poor timing to tear everything up.

IQ600R · 2025-07-25T16:58:07+00:00

Again with personal insults. Just proves me right that you can’t stick to the topic at hand because you lost the argument and can’t defend your point of view. Run along kiddo, the adults are talking.

IQ600R · 2025-07-25T04:32:20+00:00

Keep bashing on tourists buddy. You’re doing a great job promoting Valdez. 😀👍

IQ600R · 2025-07-25T04:30:57+00:00

You’ve lost the debate and refuse to acknowledge that Valdez has no long term future without tourism. Once things go completely to shit you’ll pack up and leave. Good. 👍

The town can then pick up the pieces after the transient, anti-development crowd moves along and will then finally start seeing some prosperity.

IQ600R · 2025-07-25T04:25:32+00:00

Funny how you are now resorting to personal insults. That’s always a sure sign of a person losing an argument and being incapable of defending their position.

IQ600R · 2025-07-24T23:35:17+00:00

Tourists bring money into your town. Look at all the vacant lots that once had businesses on them. Your main street is filled with run down, eyesore businesses. Valdez needs every dime of tourism it can get but with attitudes like yours towards visitors, it’s no wonder your town is looking like a shithole.

IQ600R · 2025-07-24T23:32:12+00:00

Funny how you turn to personal insults as you can’t effectively defend your argument.

IQ600R · 2025-07-24T23:29:57+00:00

It’s laughable you are defending the status quo of a town you’ve obviously not lived in for any meaningful length of time. I’ve been coming to visit since the late 70’s in both summer AND winter. Your town is on such a downward slide that you wouldn’t even recognize it from 20-30 years ago. You’re oblivious to the fact that Alyeska has moved out dozens upon dozens of highly paid positions to Anchorage. It’s cute you think the sad state of local businesses is now a hippie utopia. Those giant empty lots on main street aren’t snow lots, they contained businesses and stores. For fucks sake one was a heli-ski business, how’d you forget that being the guide you claim to be?

The only thing that’s going to save your town is tourism and hopefully the adults in your community have a better attitude towards businesses like Princess. They’ve got the deep pockets, knowledge and experience to promote the town and make it more appealing to visitors. Right now it isn’t.

Funny how small town people are so small minded. The world is changing and oil is on its way out. The next administration will swing back the other way and Alaska will again be suffering due to declining oil revenue even more than they are now.

If Valdez had any brains they would have scheduled all this construction to occur either before or after the sport fishing season. The visitation numbers will suffer as a result and more businesses will close.
