121 days of riding. I would need a Go Fund Me page for just the bar bill.

A friend of Jim has been posting updates all winter on Dootalk. His wife recently also posted, she rode 9,400 miles with Jim this winter on her 900NA. I think she is 72 years old. Helps me explain to my 49 year old wife what her retirement looks like.😄

A dealer of Dolbeau post this yesterday... Congratulations to our loyal customer for more than 20 years in New York State, Mr. Jamison who has reached 20,000 miles (32187km) in one season with his Enduro 900 Turbo We were the 1st april, no odometer pics... looks like a joke at first. 20 000 miles already done since the beginning of the season! it's some serious milage!!! But with a bit of search the odometer pop up and this name really seems to link with an high miler guy... seems credible. Can't believe nobody know him on here??? from the post on FaceBook the dealer post this in answer to a disbeleiver poster: Chris Kline: I am sitting with him with right now in my office. I sell him a new sled every year. To answer your question he rode 96 days with an average of 211 miles a day. He used 4,367 liters of fuel. So doubt away. I have seen his sleds with 17,000 miles plus in prior years.

Yeah he blows the “snowmobiling ain’t cheap” saying right out of the parking lot. There are still other hobbies/pastimes that are ridiculously expensive and nowhere near the fun of touring on a snowmobile IMO

In the late 80's. early 90's, I used to go with friends to a Polaris dealer in PA, and that's when I first heard of Jim Jamison and his trips to Canada and that inspired us to try Quebec in 89! So he must of been a Polaris guy back then. About 5 year's ago I bumped into him at La Verandre, he had a SD 1200, he was meeting up with others to ride with them on a tour. I always wondered how a guy like him and his Quebec mileage is not on this site! I am sure Suaganay Bill has met him.

I have seen this guys name in various clubhouse books many times over the years. What I find most ironic is that I have never run into him somewhere. Possibly we were at the same place at the same time and I didn’t know it. I would love to shake the guys hand and buy him a beer, coffee or whatever he’s into. He probably would request an energy drink...LOL I thought the guy was from Pennsylvania but here it says NY. I truly love snowmobiling more than anything in the world but question how I would feel if I had this guys time, energy, money and stamina to do what he does. Would I even do it....I’ll probably never know. I say Godspeed to Jim Jamison and hope to meet you someday.

Impressive. I think even I might have had enough after a season like that. Then again maybe not.

Amazing, 96 days that translates for example to 6 days in December and every day in January February and March, he must not have a wife or a job.

Teet those are some sweet machines you got there. Mine is a Cracker Jack toy compared to that. Just watched a bunch of videos on them. Just incredible !! One better be in damn good shape to smack one of those around. Would help if you were under 175 lbs and that leaves me out forever...LOL glad to hear your dad and kids are enjoying them too. Just did the 18 mile “lake road loop” tonight after work. Gonna try and pour big miles on it this year. I bought a leftover Enduro and it’s 16lbs heavier than my current sled which tells me I gotta lose at least that much to make up the difference. Have a great summer and be safe on that thing.

Congratulations on a great season ender guys looked like you had great weather trails & riding buddies

Anyone want to try for 30,000 miles next year?

Loosely from Dec-1 to April 1 is 121 days, or 17 weeks of riding. 6 days on and 1 day off would give 100 days of riding at an average of 200 miles per day. I estimate very close to $20K in travel expenses, another $10K in depreciation, sled maintenance, insurance and registrations. Expensive year.

Wow! This guy is a monster sledder. It would be great to have someone with his experience on Quebec Rider.

I stand corrected, my comment was a bit tongue in cheek. Hats off to him and his wife. My wife used to ride all the time with me, but not really interested in riding her own sled anymore. She may hold the record for the least miles on a “99” Polaris XC.

Jim uses the same dealer as I here in PA, he is 72 and does ride constantly. I personally have no desire to ride that much. 🤔

Thanks Snomaster, any e-bike is awesome in my opinion, the pedal assist is just amazing. Mark my word, everyone who you let try it will at first pedal say “Holy Crap” then come back with a smile saying “This is awesome I want one, where did u get it”. And that’s why I let my buds try them out a lot so they will all get them and go riding together. It’s still good cardio you just get around places a lot easier and definitely a lot faster if you choose.

Just found out great information on him. For CnC, he have a wife...that ride with him!! and a kind of job...take a look here: https://snoriderswest.com/article/general/travelling_up_north

Since they are cold blooded, guessing if you brought him north in the winter, you would have to warm him up first to make him move. I can just see some lady yelling call security there is some guy playing with his snake in the lobby.😁

Keep him . They are good rat control for you cellar. My kid in NC has one in his cellar and he's rat free.

Well, whatever type of slithering fellow this might be, I think you need to keep an open mind. With a little creativity, and perhaps a bit of nurturing, this guy could be an asset to your future snowmobiling trips. There are many uses that I'm sure you haven't even thought about. For instance, he could be used as a deterrent to the theft issues we sometimes face north of the border. Just lay him across the seat when you check into the hotel each night, that should keep the thieves at a distance. Also.....in the event of a missed turn in deep snow when you need a tug, he could double as a pull rope. And the obvious off season use of him would be to store him in the engine compartment to ward off any pesky mice trying to make your sled their home. Much the same as Mikerider adopted a monkey this winter, 'Copper' could be your new pet. It may take a while to adapt, but before long he'll be riding in your jacket pocket with you on your adventures to the North. Just don't forget to check him in at customs.... sorry.....having snowmobile withdrawals.......
