    17 x 20 big enough??  These guys advertise vehicle storage.  I'd just search boat / rv storage.  There's a viable solution available for sure.

    I have been trying to track down the same thing. The Fuel and time to drag the trailer from Mass to Quebec City is a waste. If we are in RDL for one trip and then Sag for another and even Three Rivers, its easier and quicker to park it in QC and pay ??? 100.00 a month or so....
    I was checking out several places, UHaul storage ( 3-4 locations in the QC area ) use to do it, but no longer. I started looking at RV storage places, as the SnowBirds would be gone for the Winter and have the room at the lots.
    If you find something let us know.
    I'll try to remember the place that was looking promising.

    Little bit of travel!
    It goes a little further if you stand on it.
    Then because of the altered angle caused by the rear Drop Brackets, I needed to add some kind of wheel. I found these bearings with a larger\thicker inside race allowing it to be a spacer and a wheel.They wont spin or be touched all the time only in particular situations.

    As a an extra little surprise, I found that the chassis and foot-well had separated. I did a less than elegant repair, leading me to conclude a chassis renovation is in the future.

    Yep.  We use nothing but cordless on our commercial construction sites.  Battery technology needs to improve again for transportation to be feasable.  So does the charging network.  That will be the biggest hurdle in remote areas.

    The foot plus of heavy wet snow we received here in Southern Maine would have made a nice base, in January🙄🤪... 
    I am very thankful that I installed a standby generator last year. Currently still close to 300,000 customers still without power state wide. Yesterday A friend asked me if I would be taking my machine out... My machine is going to be my Kubota Tractor with plow and front end loader. After the concrete snow on top soft gravel is dealt with, it's on to downed trees. 😀

    BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!!!
    Well, if no one noticed, this Winter Sucked.... We were able to ride with our good friends but not nearly as much we would have liked ( smiles per miles! ). So with no real damage or changes needed and an early start to the Off Season, I have some time extra time to bring this back from the dead!
    After working on in the 670+ Engine I could not figure out why it would not REV past 6500 under load..... Engine was out then in, then out, checked case seal, etc.... ( Remember even with NOS it would not REV, and the NOS made it worse ).
    So I pulled the y-pipe one more time, to look in the cylinders\Exhaust and see if any thing looked a-miss.... Nope....
    Even flipping the shocks upside down made it no better. ( Dealership recommended it, they do it on all their New Sled Setups )
    Then I disassemble the shielding on the Y-Pipe and found that there was a huge cross shaped crack right at the Y. Like any good idiot would do, I went and bought a welder, watched a YouTube or Two, then proceeded to burn a few holes in my riding lawnmower deck, in the end creating the worst weld seen by man. I did successfully weld the metal together and the lawnmower is ready for the grass... Coming off the high of melting metal together I grabbed the Y-Pipe and made the second worst weld know to man....http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_03/rr-Pipe-3.thumb.JPG.c1c51954a6b9b0dc61bd0c5fb9e4862b.JPG
    And burnt my thumb.... Pro Tip.... Glowing Metal is Hot, Be Careful....

    I was thinking the same. The rider should be identified, tarred, and feathered. Because of the plate location, is it safe to assume it was a Canadian registration? If it is, I am relieved it was not a visitor from the States, but that does not make it any easier to accept. It is outright wrong, selfish, and inconsiderate, however you look at it.
