Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

Starting to feel like we are getting closer to spring. +5 in the city. Whoo who!
 
At axle deep, isn't it better to switch to sleds? You also have the perfect place to play with snowbikes. Most of us are territory limited with them and the snowmobile clubs don't like them.
I'm fixing up a sno-scoot to hopefully trail groom next year, there's a lot of rock and trees with tight turns in the trails to deal with, full size snowmobile would be hard pressed to travel most of the terrain here without wrapping it around a rock or tree. Snow-bike, would love to see what one would do here, right about now would be the time but it's going to be a very short season for snow anything.

These are for just for slaps and giggles and to stay in practice and shape to ride this year.
 
Need to fix the stone bridge asap, if you think it looked sketchy before you should see it now. Almost lost a bike on it today.
 
Went out around Cobourg/Port Hope last evening to shake down new bar risers and hand covers. I really wanted to test the Aerostitch Roadcrafter suit I bought off their big discount sale a month ago. I likey!

Why don't the snowmobilers like them? Is it like skiers vs. snowboarders back in the day?

I suspect it probably boils down to insurance (like everything else). I understand not letting ATV's on many trails due to the huge ruts they tend to make but I wouldn't expect a snowbike to be substantially different than a sled. I truly don't know the real reason but I have been told that snowbikes are not allowed on the trails. Private property only.

Probably the same reason x country skiers don't want anyone on their groomed trails. They wreck the grooming.
 
I’ve seen 5 or 6 bikes out today
I saw two today . One was a girls on a sportster on Kipling . Gave her a honk and thumbs up .

Yeah, even insurance makes no sense to me - do snowmobilers have special insurance? And a snowbike is just a motorcycle with a snowmobile track on the back and a snowmobile ski on the front. Or looked at another way, it's a snowmobile made from a motorcycle. Maybe they're thinking of motorcycles with studded tires?

I was out yesterday and today, too nice not to take advantage. Only a boot around the 'hood so I only saw one other bike (northbound on Bayview). I did enjoy the cop picking cars off on Southbound Bayview like fish in a barrel, especially the idiot who failed to notice the extremely enthusiastic Porsche warning everyone of the speed trap so tore past the rest of us, only to be pulled over 50m away. ? Anyone who gets caught speeding on Bayview is an amateur, the cops practically live there. ?

You can kill people with impunity on bayview, but heaven forbid you speed a little.
