    Overly Agressive Peace Officers

    This is a hypothetical situation, but I am wondering what you would or could do under these circumstances. I purchase a new snowmobile, and am trailering it home. I get a flat tire on the trailer on highway 14, southeast of Sherwood Park. So to make things easier, I take the snowmobile off of...

    Riding areas-North America Overview

    I have been snowmobiling for quite a few years, but it has been some time that I posted some comments. Here are some general comments that I like to make. For my background, I have snowmobiled in 8 of the 10 Canadian provinces (Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are the exceptions), and 12...

    Winter ATV Riding

    As it turns out, I have no interest in ATV riding (I do ride off-road motorcycles), but there is some interest in locating places where you could ride an ATV in the winter. I know of only one place in Alberta where you might be able to get away with this, and that is the Redwater Recreational...

    Snowmobiling in Ontario

    Even though I now live in Alberta, I still have family in Ontario, and go back there each year at Christmas time. The past two years, I got lucky with snow in southern Ontario. I was able to ride trails in the Brantford area, which can be very much hit or miss. When there is snow, the trails...

    Beartooth Pass

    I happened to be driving through Beartooth Pass, and noticed a bit of snow at the top of the pass. Also saw a couple of snowmobiles there. I got my sled out, and did a bit of riding there. Not usual to snowmobile in early June, and the first time for me, but it was done. I enclosed a picture as...

    No support from a dealership

    I started one thread about Argyll. Here is another. I had purchase a NEW TW200 from Argyll, and had to do a Out of Province inspection because the NVIS was voided. I also had to pay for repairs on the new motorcycle because it failed the inspection. Now, the motorcycle is back at the dealership...

    Westlock Trail Conditions

    I was out on the trails north of Westlock yesterday. I did the west loop. The trails were in fair condition, however, there were numerous bare spots. I would not travel any great distance to ride these trails, but they were quite rideable.

    I love Alberta-Updated

    This is an update to my previous posting-and I will be naming names this time. I purchased a "new" motorcycle from Argyll Motorsports in Edmonton. I go to get the motorcycle registered, and the registry office voided the NIVIS, and forced me to do an out of province inspection-strike one against...

    I love Alberta

    Hello All, I purchased a NEW motorcycle from a dealership, and went through the OOP inspection process where I purchased the motorcycle. The NEW motorcycle failed the inspection, and I had to pay for repairs to be made. (I have this in writing.) What options do I have now? Can I go after the...

    NORTHERN Alberta

    I made the effort to get up to High Level, Alberta. There was definitely enough snow to ride from town out to the trails-not a lot of snow, but enough to ride on. I put on about 150 km on Dec. 30, and another 70 on Dec. 31-before having to drive back south. They were not grooming yet, but expect...

    Fort St. John/Charlie Lake

    We got hit with about 30 cm (official report) of snow yesterday. I don't think Charlie Lake would be safe yet, but there is definitely enough snow around here to go riding. It might be too cold for enjoyable riding this coming weekend, but there is definitely enough snow here. The picture below...

    Hello from a FORMER Easterner

    I am a new member here, and from what I have seen, this forum looks interesting. I used to live in West Virginia, but now live in (mostly) sunny Saskatchewan. (I AM Canadian). I have a number of motorcycles (all Yamaha), and three snowmobiles-two Skidoos and an Arctic Cat. My off-road...
