Hello All,
Just thought I would introduce myself, and say hello.
Name is Owen ( call sign - OPIPE - don't ask, it's a long story )
I live about 2 hours North East of Toronto, Ontario, right on the boarder of some really good sled country. ( just outside Peterborough, ON )
I recently bought a "New to me" 2006 RS Vector ER - see below link for the details.
http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=104201
I had a pair of 2003 Yamaha Vmax 600 triples, I sold one in order to buy my first 4 stroke sled. I can't wait to check out the torque, and enjoy the reliability of these machines.
My wife plans on riding the other Vmax 600...
I have been reading lots, on this site, and the information I have already read has been invaluable thus far, but I still have a tonne of questions, so please be patient with me.
Take care, and I hope to meet some of you some day.
Any other South eastern Ontario Sledders out there?
Cheers
OPIPE
ps, pics to come soon

Re: New Vector owner Intoruction ( from the north eh! )
I also have a trailer in Marmora which I plan on riding too this coming winter. My 2 buds did last year and (I couldn't make it) they said it was a great ride.
Have you rode around that area at all? Our trailer is on Crowe Lake at Bayview Trailer Park.
Congrats again Opipe, I live in Durham region and snowmobile out of Port Perry quite often.OPIPE said:Hello All,

Us southern Ontarioans call your area central Ontario. 
Make sure you check out the cam chain tensioner thread if you already haven't. http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=90826

LOL, yeh, I guess I can live with that.
Appreciate the input, and yes I have read a bit about the cam chain tensioner...
In fact I have a question for you, not related to Cam Chains, but something you sell, that I may be interested in...I will PM you shortly.
Thanks

Re: New Vector owner Intoruction ( from the north eh! )
Sounds good OPIPE
Just to let you know, and any other local guys, Port Perry's open house/swap meet is this Sunday at their clubhouse. (Check out freedomsledder.com in the Ontario section for the post)
And another show, which I am sure your aware of, is the sled/swap meet sometime in November at the Morrow Bldg in Peterborough.
Usually some good deals can be had on a lot of things like clothing, accessories and parts.
