Ron RybickiParticipantSaw a couple of good ones this past week end. Yes-all due to stupidity and speed. Stupidity because they think they are the only sleds on a trail where the snow is hanging on the trees and you cant see thru them. Speed again because they are stupid, which you cant fix.
One guy on a curve went off into a tree that did not move. Ripped off the right side a arm and ski but he was OK. One went into the small bushes on a sharp curve and was digging him self out when we went by–Left him there. One guy almost got me on a sharp curve while I was almost stopped cause I could not see around it and saw him coming. He slid to a stop side ways and looked me in the eye as if to say-what are you doing in my way. I thru him the bird and went on cause I was with my nephew who is over 6 and over 200. I felt safe in throwing him the bird. I’m 84 and to smart to engage and I usually lead my gang. Sometimes very slow but I pull over to let trail rippers by when I can see them in my mirrors..
My friend, years ago told me that you can tell when you are getting close to a bar cause you see stupidity at its best. Alcohol induced.
Cant fix stupidity.

Darrin @ ilsnow.comKeymasterWindshield mounted rear view mirrors are my best friend. When I see a Revtard riding my ass, I’ll pull over and let him go by. Obviously, what I’m doing is far less important than Johnny Revtard making his “refueling” spot at the next bar.
Unfortunately, snowmobiles are not yet equipped with oncoming traffic sensors/notifications. I’d definitely be game for that!
