For what it is worth I received the safety recall notice for my 2021 backcountry on Monday (I am in Ontario Canada). BRP appears to be calling it a safety recall now and they say it is recommended to not ride till fixed.

They are ex-Cat guys & sponsored by Cat!

That one fixed itself.

Well.. until some asshole put gas in your LinQ Gas Can...... Sorry! GutZ

Admission to The Pearly Gates The first applicant of the day explains that his last day was not a good one. "I came home early and found my wife lying naked in bed. She claimed she had just got out of the shower. Well, her hair was dry and I checked the shower and it was completely dry too. I knew she was into some hanky-panky and I began to look for her lover. I went onto the balcony of our 9th-floor apartment and found the guy clinging to the rail by his fingertips. I was so angry that I began bashing his fingers with a flower pot. He let go and fell, but his fall was broken by some awnings and bushes. On seeing he was still alive I found super human strength to drag our antique cedar chest to the balcony and throw it over. It hit the man and killed him. At this point the stress got to me and I suffered a massive heart attack and died.” Saint Peter thanked him for his story and sent him on to the waiting room. The second applicant said that his last day was his worst. "I was on the roof of an apartment building working on the AC equipment and I stumbled over my tools and toppled off the building. I managed to grab onto the balcony rail of a 9th-floor apartment but some idiot came rushing out on the balcony and bashed my hands with a flower pot. I fell but hit some awnings and bushes and survived, but as I looked up I saw a huge chest falling toward me. I tried to crawl out of the way but failed and was hit and killed by the chest.” Saint Peter couldn't help but chuckle as he directs the man to the waiting room. Saint Peter is still chuckling when his third customer of the day enters. He apologizes and says "I doubt that your last day was as interesting as the two fellows that arrived here just before you.” “I don't know," replies the man. "Picture this, I'm naked, hiding in this cedar chest...”

About 400km give or take but fast trail. Val d’0r to Chapais next day Chapais to Roberval shorter day around 350km In Chapais is Motel le Routier Téléphone: (418) 745-2564 resto attached.

A friend is telling me that Hydro Quebec has 992, 000 customers without power....I can imagine the trail system is affected by fallen trees and limbs.

In the past Jack was awesome. He was a great guy and we had a great time at Hotel Copper. Rooms were relatively clean, dated, simple and I always felt it was like staying at a rooming house. But definitely a fun place to come out of the snow. Sadly, I had a similar experience this week. He was short and irritated. Asked me if I knew what was happening in Quebec! ?? You have to take the package $169 each. Salmon or chicken croquet. I said we would rather just pay the room and order from the menu. He said there is no menu. 😞 The table of 4 guys beside us asked if they could start with a salad, they would be happy to pay. Well it was the same salad as on the plate. Lettuce and dressing. We ate, they basically shut the lights off and you feel like it’s time to go. I think it was jacks wife and daughter working. Last year our room had no hot water ( top of stairs king bed) and we were in a hurry so I brushed my teeth and sucked it up. This year, same room and no hot water. He was mad at me that I asked for a different room. We were speaking with others on the trail they said same thing. They complained and he said wait…45 minutes no hot water. Just a sad atmosphere. I would love to help support them but two years now. I am going to look for options. it would help if he wasn’t chain smoking in his office. 😞 Would love to hear suggestions. lindasledgirl
