Don't worry, they make new ones every day! hi terry !!! entered a curve waaay too fast ...machine started to lean on the same side and window '' rubbed '' the trail and cracked !!! ahhaa seriously ....a bit more than 2 miles west of ste marguerite...after crossing road for windmill...trail in the ditch ....there s a new clearcut about 800' after crossing road....right on the corner of new clearcut...there s a pile of birch ( bunch )....and its very narrow...between pile and road...machine is 10 ' wide...trail there about 10' 4'' for 50'... so ,just before the pile , i put the '' bull '' in angle to make sure if i touch the pile with the '' bull '' it ll be only a little ''kiss '' and won t need to stop ...while grooming .. so , as soon as arrived next to pile...took a very quick look at the road to see where i was on the snow bank .....then boom...then bing bang !!! happened very fast ....2 '' maybe...i guess there was a log under the snow between the track and the pile....hit the log ....one side of the log went under the fender...made a bit hole....time to realize and put the brakes...i guess track brought the log way higher while turning and bang in the window !!! if you look at my night pics i took earlier this week...you can see one of the piles in front of the groomer...the one i hit was behind the groomer !!! fixed it in ste florence ... like we say here....when you don t work ...you don t break anything !!!! grey sky all day ....maybe a bit over 0 c around noon ...-3c right now !!! jean-guy vt_bluyamaha54, nyskidooerinnewhampshire and Scranton1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Maybe the rouge was the cause of the window incident. Maybe it is Linda's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
