Looks like risky business at the momentJack Douglas said:Well Eldar, there may be some Canadians like that but I'm not one of them. Did enjoy skiing as a kid though.
But here's where I skate - not right now though or I'd drown!

Yeah, thanks. I was off the machine taking photos when my friend put it through. Bad communication on my part- I knew there was a dock under the snow and assumed that he did, too. (The ice in the vicinity of any wooden structure is never good.) He didn't.Don Haines said:I assume that since you posted the picture that you are OK.....

The only reason it didn't go completely through and tumble down an underwater slope into a fifty-foot gully was that the handlebars caught on the edge of the dock while the right ski held on good ice. It took 6 of us and a lot of gear to get it out the next day. The track was frozen solid but luckily the engine did not ingest any water. The second part of the adventure was towing a frozen-up machine 7KM across the ice and up a hill back to a truck and trailer.

Thanks, Carl. I haven't been spending enough time here, lately.
I hope you brought your shorts and some high factor sun screen ... :Don Haines said:And to all you southerners, this is the strait between Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, two days ago....
