Where are the zerk fittings on my 2024 700. i'm leaving for hunting tomorrow and packing my stuff. i was looking to see quickly where they were and didn't see them ?!? Do you know how many there are ? thanks !!
Rob even though it is a nice trail ride and both were at fault it happens a lot more then you would think. I can't lie I have been there done that many times and you would think after the first 40 times I would learn but I am a slow learner. My ATV could do 75 MPH easy and I loved opening it up. One day I was on a trail then was hardly ever used and knowing not many around had ATV's I was going for it. I came around a corner and in a split second that felt like it was in super slow motion I saw 2 girls both with long blonde hair no helmet. I knew I had to do the right thing even if it kills me so I took to the woods. I didn't have a helmet as well and well I didn't know their was a drop off . I was crashing through the woods back in super slow motion saw the drop off and mailed. As I jumped off the ATV A widow maker that was almost down caught me and stopped me from going over. Oh the Pain from the stop. The impact was something I can still hear in my head and remember like it happen 2 hours ago. The ATV however did a lot better then I did. Broke nothing and it got scratches. Thinking by now the girls left me for dead. Only because I was laying on the ground for about 20 minutes. When I got up I went to check on my Polaris. I don't know how it shut off on it's own and I wasn't sure how I was going to get it back up the hill. I went up with hopes I could find a way to get it up and there was the two girls crying. I thought I hurt them and didn't know it and I said are you girls alright? They screamed. I panicked and then a girl said we thought you might have been dead. I said close. I said I am ok but my ATV is way down the hill. The girls then said is it all the way down. I said no then they asked is it running? I said I think so just scratched up. They then said get it down the rest of the way and then take the trail it will bring you back here. I was like what they are Blonde after all. The girl said yes we just came from there. I went back to my ATV and the girls were already down there and the girls helped me . I got it on flat ground and it started right up no problem nothing broke. I went with the girls and when we got back on track I thanked the girls and said I am sorry I know I was going to fast but I am glad you girls are ok. The girls then said no we are sorry we too were going fast and didn't think anyone would be out here.. We exchanged phone numbers and what not and were riding friends for a long time till I mover to Florida .
New subscriber here love outdoors videos and wasn't long before I was hitting the notifications bell so I won't miss future videos. Ride was going great until o sh1t , good reactions were great by both saved any serious damage and prevented injuries. Main thing no one was hurt. Id be ticked off with Mark too sounds like its a common action ? Thanks for taking us along hope you have an awesome weekend
Great job Rob Ya let go of the brakes last sec and attempted straighten out before impact. Most ppl who can’t drive just freeze up and hold the brakes. My aunt lost 2 L blood and helivac to bracebridge from side swipe action like that. Glad everyone ok 👍
That bridge by McCollum's is the only one on the line that has the barriers still in place. What you were running beside that you called a lake is the southern end of Orient Bay. Orient Bay Station just to the north is the dividing line between Orient Bay and Pijitawabik Bay.
@@RobFarrowATV No problem. Best place to get back on the grade is by Orient Bay Station a couple miles to the north. There is rest stop area that you could park at and the grade is right there. From that spot you can go all the way to Beardmore and even up to Jellicoe.
Glad to see that nobody got hurt. I try to avoid those railbeds as much as I can because of what I just saw. I hate to see what would of happened if one of those SxS's where out in front. Nice scenic ride though.. 👍
We've all had our share of OSHIT moments. My last one put me in the hospital and took 5 months to recover. Didn't look like you hit hard enough to do so much mechanical damage. Glad it wasn't worse.
Nice area to ride in Rob, sucks with sidewall damage but it could have been much worse for both, not sure how deep of cut, couple ply's should be ok to still use until winter before you mount the plow. Anyway no one was hurt and taking the rhubarb is a choice as a last resort. Cheers and take care.
Those types of tight trails are awesome to blast down, but yeah.. that's probably the best outcome for a collision like that. I came from ATV's into a fast SXS so I think that always plays in my mind of what damage I could do to a rider on top of a ATV. Really nice looking lakes in that video.
Man what a beautiful area, glad no one was hurt you both did everything you could to avoid the collision in a tight trail, reminds me of a poker run at Mount Baldy their was a section of two way traffic was amazed no one was hurt
We were just in Winnipeg last week, no where to ride there LOL! Northern Manitoba looks a lot like Northwestern Ontario...with smaller trees from what I remember.
Thanks again for the plug Rob! So a couple things for you: 1. The shack you stopped at was the former station at Cronyn/MacAskill. I believe it was a tool/shim shed. There was a bench across the back that someone has sadly ripped out. 2. The washout has been there for a few years. The culvert at the bottom is fine, but for some reason the grade has given way, likely because it is all gravel. West of that washout was the station at Hogarth, which had a water tank and a big siding. 3. You missed the 1924 date stamp on the bridge unfortunately. 4. Just east of the bridge when you saw that trail, it leads up to a clearing that was once an emergency airfield that was built in the late 30s. 5. The big open area that had a trail going through it was the ballast pit at McKirdy, which dates back to when the line was built 1911-1914. Just east of there is the station at McKirdy and then is the flag stop at East McKirdy right before the trestle.
@@hollywood5274 You're welcome. It spans Cash Creek and is the second highest structure on the line and cost $112k to construct. I have more info on the site Rob mentioned in the video.
It's been running good enough for a yard machine. I think the fix it all will be a new harness but I'm not in the mood to change it out yet. Thanks James!
Hey Rob, not sure if this is common knowledge but your drone didn't work cause you were within the 10km radius of the Nipigon Bridge. The D.oD Federalies have a net that disables drones within that range (or more now) so that you cannot fly anywhere near it.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I Just saw your videos, I'm having the same problem with a kvf750 2006. Did the fuel valve really solve the problem for good or something else come up later?
I've changed everything on that atv except the harness...might be the cure but I'm not in the mood to change it out yet. Still not running a 100% but good for yard work. Thanks!
I just found this video series. I watched the last two . Mine sounds exactly like yours did. In the next to last. The fix was new carbs and new fuel pump?
We've changed almost everything you can change short of a new harness...think that might be the cure but I'm not in the mood to tear it all apart and change a harness at the moment LOL! It's not quite a 100% but still runs good enough for doing yard work. Hope you have better luck than me. Thanks!
Now that you've had the HD7 for a while, have you gone on any decent trail ride where you weren't in low range and going through mud? I'm curious if you have a ballpark on how many miles to the tank you might be able to get for general trail riding.
Pretty much all my ridding on the 700 is in high, not very often I need to put it into low. Although I don't go that far without putting gas in, it can get at least 180kms to a tank, maybe more. Thanks!
They have been talking about it for years since the rail line was shutdown in 2005. CN still owns the right of way as there is a very important fibre optic cable buried alongside the grade. Because of that, the rail trail negotiations haven't amounted to much.
I will be posting a video on the Trestle on my Outdoor Rob Channel which gives the location. The video will eventually be posted, so be patient. ru-vid.com/show-UCfV7nmZ-9dT_VyFe2-_0Y_g
@@RobFarrowATV Exploring season is starting up again as the leaves start to fall. Lots planned. I do have a question for you if you don't mind. What type of helmet and GoPro mount do you use? My preference is to bike the railway grades, but I'm currently working on the GTP/Graham Sub and past Raith I'm going to have to use an ATV. There are so few access roads that the distance between them is 17-25 miles. Too far to bike! Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a chin mount for my adventure full face helmet (basically a motocross helmet with a shield) and I use a Hero 11 with the multi-media and external mic that is wired to my helmet. It plugs into the multi-media port. I have to get back on the atv and start exploring soon, haven't been on it since this ride. I think winter might be not too far away unfortunately. Still would like to do another scuba dive on the Donaldson shipwreck that we found but time is running out.
