:sick:[quote=snoway]sweeeeet!
no violaters in sight.
by the way....everytime you go 1 mph over the posted speed limit YOU are noncompliant with the law. [/quote]Any time you break any law you are in noncompliance that's right. But this isn't the place to promote it either. It's the noncompliance that will get our trails shut down quicker than a spring melt. Without any trails, there'd be no need for the 100 Mile Snow Safari Club. This site is for the promotion of our club(s) and the sport of snowmobiling. It's not about shortcuts and breaking the law. While these may be topics of concern, I will not let them be promoted on this site. I'm not perfect, and I'm not saying I haven't done both, but I will not allow the promotion of law breaking on this site. Without laws, we'd have total chaos. Besides, it's very rude and selfish of any one person who thinks they are better than the rest of us and above the law, that they do not have to follow the rules. There are a lot of individuals who have donated their resources and shed blood, sweat, and tears to bring you what's probably the finest snowmobile trail system in the state, and for any one person to jeopardize that, it's just being inconsiderate of others.

By the way Jim- you plagiarized me! That line about the "finest snowmobile trail system in the state" is practically a direct quote out of that email I sent you 4 months ago!
I don't mind though- it's for a good purpose. 
Allow me to step up on a soapbox for a moment- "newbie" or not.
I'm somewhat concerned about some of the things I've seen posted lately. We all love snowmobiling- there's no doubt about that. But we need to be extra cautious in our actions, because those that don't partake in our sport generally have quite a negative outlook on it; often with good reason (see Johnemaz's post about landowners watching people repeatedly jumping rises in a hayfield). It behooves us and literally is our duty to represent our sport with the utmost of responsibility and restraint, such that we command a large degree of respect from our nonriding neighbors. :thumbup:
Everybody likes to ride fast sometimes, including me. But keep it reasonable, not only for your sake but others as well. Last season one of my uncles very nearly got piled into head-on by some rumhead flying around a corner virtually out of control. This kind of incident happens all too often and is likely never heard about. If you think you're that fast- paint a number on your sled and compete against others. They sanction such events under controlled circumstances, and if you're as good as you think you are, you just might win some money. Out on the public trails where you never know what animal is going to run immediately in front of you, or what inexperienced rider is just around the next bend/rise- keep yourself in check. The goal isn't to get from point A to point B as fast as humanly possible. The goal is to get there without negatively impacting anybody.
Even more importantly- there isn't a single person in the world that reacts to stimuli faster when they've got a snootful of booze. A snowmobile is absolutely the last place anybody belongs when they've been drinking. These machines require a high level of discretion as is... to add questionable judgement to the mix is literally a life gamble. And it doesn't take being legally drunk to be a danger- even the smallest amount of impairment is still impaired. Not smart, period.:thumbdown:
Ok.... *steps down* :rolleyes:
