I go to this all the time. I think it is 25+ years old now. This is one nice event and it is free and their is free food, beer, and pop.

Like Harley Honda says they still make parts for every motorcycle they have ever made.

Snowmobiles and motorcycles a bargain! Some times I think how much money I would have if I never did either or even raced for so long. And then I think how boring life would have been.

Please don't try to figure out how much it cost to right a snowmobile.

I have had two phones both are company phone paid for by them. The Sprint phone worked 100% of the time and I could be in the middle of the Arrowhead Minnesota and it always worked. I have Verizon now and it works 95% of the time. There was a time we Had AT&T but the company drop them like all the dropped calls we were getting in just a couple of months.

Anyone have an inside line on why this event has been terminated?
I went there today and there was bikes coming and going, not many and no free food. The reason this ended was last year I started seeing biker gangs in their colors. Last month there was three rival gangs there in their colors. Now add beer to this and their were people that were not feeling safe. So he stop it. I don't know why they started wearing their color or why they started to even show up, but now they ruin a good thing. Now he has First Saturday at noon to 2 and free pasta if you ride your bicycle.

You still got a moving violation ticket. What did you win? Looks to me that you still lost.

Sorry Ray, but the time invested has always paid benefits for me.  The key issue is not that you are 'fighting' the ticket' rather that you are working  within the system for the best possible outcome.

Dakota is no problem.  Go to the hearing date on your ticket.  Dress respectfully.  Ask to speak to prosecutor.  The prosecuter may offer you a "stay in lieu of adjudication with no similar".  That means if you don't get a similar ticket for 1 year (or they don't hear from another county) then the guilty charge is wiped off your record and your insurer does not hearabout it.    Cost for that is usually a few bucks less than the actual ticket with a clean license.  If the prosecutor is busy, he may give the judge a sheet that he can offer the same deals with sliding prices based on your record.   I've done this once and made my son go through it once.  I am convinced that you should never just pay a ticket!!!

Not sure how WI works, but just showing up and being respectful will probably give you some options that mailing it in will not.

Much thanks to Tom Gallager (Red Ducati) for teaching me this information.
This is how it worked for me in Dakota County back in December.

I could maybe give some one a ride if it isn't on one of our msta rides. They could ride on my CBR or my HD.

I was there yesterday and it was a pretty good turn out. The MC clubs were wearing their colors so maybe this could be a reason. Or Yarusso doesn't want to do it any more. The police were there in force so maybe the neighbors are complaining. But I didn't hear any talk yesterday about it or that this was the last one.

Let me see. You take the route sheet and put it on your bike and go. Or you spend a lot of time get the route ahead of time and put it into your GPS. I'll take the route sheet it works every time.
