Hey all. So, anyone heading to the show this year? As per our annual tradition, we'll probably be there on the Saturday. It has become a yearly pilgrimage of sorts for us. We drop the ladies off at the mall for a day of shopping and then us guys go and drool over the new iron and watch some freestyle sleddin'.

Just wondering who else might be going. Would be cool to meet a few fellow Dootalkers in the Doo booth. Then we could all wander over to the green area and laugh at the new Cats!

I'm going for the first time ever, likely on the Saturday... I have a new girly interest and she wants to get an 800 etec so she might tag along too!

Hopeing to find some cheap good grip warmers so I can do my bar swap to fit my hand guards that I've never installed, and maybe find something to help with putting a fuel can on the back of my REV since I only get 90 km to a tank on that 800... My thumb likes the happy lever.

We go every year, sometimes the wifey isn't able to make it, but we go for the weekend!

I am going to be there on Sunday this year.

As it stands right now, it looks like I will be going on Saturday. Usually get there right around opening time or shortly after. I agree it would be great to meet some of the people we talk to. Matbe we could doo some talking about the Doo Talk Ride this season.
Doo booth sounds good.

I'll be there Saturday as well with the riding crew... Great time to discuss the DOO talk ride

Went to the Royal Distributing tent sale in Guelph yesterday and they had cards at the cash for $2.00 off admission to the sled show. Sweet!

(Got a nice pair of $60 Coldwave gloves for about $17.50. Not bad at all. Gotta love sales with no HST!)

Really? I was at the Royal Tent sale in Inisfil yesterday, bought a jacket for my daughter and got NO coupon?! Sales were excellent though!

They had them stacked at each cash register in the store. I only noticed them because I was looking for the ballots for the ATV/bike draw.

It might be worth looking at the carbs and reeds if you are only getting that kind of mileage

I will be going on Friday afternoon to look for more of 1 of a kind deals

First time in 4 or 5 years that I am going to miss the show. I am going to be in the UK competing in a world level skilled trades competition. I really wanted to go this year! Oh well, next year I guess..

The reeds are good (new Vforce3) but, I'm thinking maybe I'm jetted rich? The sled was ALWAYS dealer maintained since new, so I doubt that. It runs like a top, never once has it missed a beat, always starts up good, no issues with it.
Don't have a real place to work on the sled (thats my #1 reason for buying myself a house next spring actuall) and I don't think there is an issue with it... I cruise at 120-140ish on the trails and I take no time getting up to speed, lever to the bar!


Think I'm hitting the show on Friday, this way I have the weekend to put on the things I hopefully buy at the show, and that's also my shock/skid removal weekend... Not looking forward to that really, sounds like it's a pain in the rear since everything spins.

Do any of you remember when the show was at the Markham fair ground?
