As I read all the post on this topic, I am disappointed to see no one posting any facts, such as where , when , who was the victim , or circumstances , ( key in sled , truck or trailer , location of theft etc.). Thefts happen in the USA as well as Canada but we never see those posted. We should know all the facts and circumstances before we condemn an area. All we know right now is here say , or as our President Trump calls it “FAKE NEWS!!!”. Just my opinion. Hank

I have a 20’ LEGEND brand with 5’ V nose, front drive on, rear drive off, curbside walk in door, and two gas doors on left side. It’s all aluminum, dual torsion axles, and holds 3 137” track sleds in a staggered configuration. It works really well for me, and also has aluminum wheels. It is now 3 years old, and is looking like new. General maintenance should be done, to include brake clean-up and inspection, tire pressure checks as well as checking for premature wear, and tire rotation. Tongue and coupler should be checked,serviced and lubricated frequently. Door hinges and springs greased twice a year. I have one 6” overhead cabinet for helmets, boots and misc. gear, as well as 2 spare tires mounted on wall racks in the v-nose section. Loading from the front is highly recommended by manufacturer for proper balance when hauling. This is the best trailer I have ever owned in my 40 plus years of hauling sleds. I spend my winters in Quebec, and my trailer stays there from mid Dec till April 1st. every year. Hank

My vote just put you ahead by 8 tenths of a point!!! Let's go QR PEOPLE!!!!!!

Hi Mark; just cast my vote for today. Where are you in Vt? I am in NY near Vt border in Hudson Falls. I ride out of Lecabanon every other week starting the day after Xmas. GOOD LUCK Hank

Patiently waiting for the '19 Sidewinder LTX DX to show up at dealer. Estimated arrival is mid October. Although it's hard to believe its Labor Day already. Summer went by way to fast. Hank

Alain, That is definitely one for the record books ! Nice video. Hank

Amazing device, could avoid a lot of accidents with this. I would like to see it mandatory in Canada. I've been riding in Quebec for 25 years and seen and avoided many close calls. As CNC stated you should never let your guard down. No problem with the age thing, I'm 67 but feel like 50. But still can't remember shit. Hank

Groomer ; Can you translate to English, this looks like a great idea if everyone has one. Maybe manufacturers should be made to install as standard equipment. Thanks Hank

I will be there, for dinner around 5 pm , usually at the corner table by the bar entrance. Depending upon what time we arrive, we usually take a ride to Real Masse for lunch. Looking forward to meeting you. My trailer is usually parked on the corner next to gas pump, black inline three place with "ICEMAN " sticker on gas door. MERRY CHRISTMAS Snappy Hank

That windshield is 21" high, the tallest available. They used to have a 25" but no longer available. I will try this one, may have to swap with my '14 viper, which has the 25". You are right , the taller the better. MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! Hank

I would recommend either the 21 or 25 inch tall windshield. I had it installed on my 18 Viper LTX DX right out of the crate. Short windshield will allow wind to cut through any helmet, and you could end up with very serious frost bite. I saw it happen to a very stubborn friend who thought it was really " COOL " to have that race look.

The new ride is ready, and headed to St Zenon Tuesday 12/26. Conditions look good, can't wait to start the season!!!

Patiently waiting for my 18 SRVIPER LTX-DX to arrive at my dealer. Snappy Hank

That should take the summer edge off! Will keep you busy till snow flies!

As I patiently wait for winter, this will be my summer ride:

I pulled the trigger and ordered a 2018 SR VIPER LTX DX, silver and blue. Rode the 14 for 8000 miles, all in Canada, and loved it. Having the pre-studed track installed before I pick it up, also ski-mounted snow scratchers and POWDERKEG luggage carrier on the tunnel. I will be ready for the upcoming season! Can't wait! It is going to be a very long summer! Snappy Hank

Thank you Mr Gutz and Markusvt. That is all good info. I think you are correct about hardwiring it in, 12 volt cig. lighters tend to loosen up and lose contact for charging. Hank

Also banning dancing girls in bikinis from riding on sleds. Again the Surete say they cause to much distracted driving Hank

It looks like they upgraded that to a 2797. I like the large screen. Does it have snow trail maps, or do you download them from track-maps? Hank

Really nice video Alain. Love watching your reports Snappy Hank

There is a company called "POWDERKEG".com that sells a combination gas can and storage bag that mounts to any 137" track. Made of hard plastic and mounts very securely to tunnel. You can see it on the website, cost is around $415. Well worth a look. Snappy Hank

Thinking about purchasing a GPS for next season. Which GARMIN product accepts TRAK-MAPS and has the largest screen that will mount on a YAMAHA VIPER. I ride mostly in Quebec. Any input will be appreciated. Snappy Hank

Where did this happen and when ?
