Bill, what was wrong with your secondary? Dave

Bill, Wow, what a differnce a couple days make, -20 on Sunday to 36 today. When I was there I wondered if it ever gets warm in paradise. Enjoy! Dave

Bill, I made it home with no problems, 13.5 hours, but the trails in paradise are alot smoother than some of those roads, LOL. Thanks again for the great week, had alot of fun riding with all. Lifetime memories for sure! Say Hi to all there, Thanks Again, Dave Coke? Pepsi! Coke? Pepsi! Coke?

Hey Wes, Best of luck on that 1st trip. I've seen where you've switched from Doo to Cat, keep an eye on the gas guage, LOL. What's your destination for the 1st trip? Will you be around the H.I. in February? Ride Safe Dave

Hey Bill, Not sure yet if I have any takers for this year. Either way I hope to be there. Haven't ridden here in Michigan yet, still looking for snow. Have a safe trip up to paradise and we'll see you in February. Dave

Thanks to all who post, I enjoy reading them and watching the videos. Jack and Sandi thanks for the detailed reports. When you can't be there enjoying the riding, the next best thing is to read about those who are. :) Bill, looking forward to your posts in the coming weeks. Hope to be there in paradise in February. Happy New Year to all QR's. Think snow and lots of it.....Dave

Ray, I think the mileage is 3125. Dave

Hey Bill, soon as I find out whose able to go this year and we finalize plans, I'll order our permits from you. Hope to see you this winter, Dave

Hey Deano, I see you and Bill are getting the same sled. GSXSE= heated seats and tilt steering. Nice. You guys will be mighty comfortable while riding the best trails in the world this winter. Hoped to see you guys this winter. Dave

Maybe groomer can translate for us, Thanks groomer, Dave

I don't know exactly where that's at, but when I saw that picture my right thumb started to get itchy. Great picture Bill. Nothing like looking at snowmobile pictures on a hot July day. Keep em coming, Dave

Happy Birthday Bill, did you get that new Ski-Doo 4 stroke for your birthday yet? Dave

Hey Dean, How's it going? I have to admit the 1st time I looked at the picture I thought the same thing, nice trail or is there an animal somewhere in the brush.

X2 here Bill, 20,000 miles on 1 sled is definiately something to be proud about, Mark and I had a great time this year riding with you and all the other great guys out of the HI. Have a safe trip home, and the good Lord willing will see you next year! Dave

Hey Ray, that's pretty neat, you don't see that to often in the winter. Enjoyed riding with you and Mikerider and racersinc this year, maybe next year if we get to ride together we will both be on our new 800 ETEC's Take care, Dave

X2 here, made it back to Michigan with no problems. Had a great time. It's nice to be around people who have the same passion for snowmobiling that you do. Bill, thanks for everything, it's nice following behind a guy who doesn't need a map! It was also nice to put faces with names here on Quebecrider.com. Mikerider and 182Ray and racersinc, it was nice to meet you guys and we enjoyed riding with you. Also enjoyed riding with the Ontario guys, Al, Kevin and Larry. A special thanks to Larry who towed me the 11 miles back to the HI when I ran out of gas. I'll fix that problem by next year, I'll get a new sled! Again, thanks to all, already looking forward to next year, Dave

Well, I'm glad it's cold somewhere, I'm sitting here 1 hour south of Paradise, Michigan and it's 38F and light rain, not good. But glad to here the ridings good there, enjoy all your posts Bill, look forward to them everyday. Dave

Was there a lunch break in that ride? That's a pretty good day there Bill, did you stay on the 93 all the way around? Dave

Hey Bill, Rich and I are plannng on getting there for a few days of riding in Paradise. Not quite sure on the dates yet, but definately looking forward to it. Dave

Only when I'm on a snowmobile, Bill, only when I'm on a snowmobile!

Thanks, I didn't think anyone would remember!

After S-pump = 18,342 mccaffrey = 2,400 eddieskidoo = 5,675 MichiganRev = 1,768 New Total = 28,185 Once Saguenay Bill posts his mileage the total should really jump! :)

Yes I did, I always have my preseason "wish" list with me when I head to the Novi Snow Show. It's one "huge" snowmobile store for us diehard snowmobilers, with great deals on everything!

I needed a new pair of bibs for this season, and on the recommendation by Saguenay Bill in some posts last year I picked up a pair of Choko Extreme pants. By far the warmest bibs I've ever worn, I had a chance to test them out in some sub-zero temps in Northern Michigan yesterday and they passed all tests. When going from stand-up riding to stitting I didn't have that cold, damp feeling that I had with my other bibs that were only a couple of years old. Thanks again Bill, hope to see you around the first part of February! Dave

Hey Bill, I received the trail passes today, thanks for the speedy service. Hope to see you around the first part of February, till then Think Snow! Dave
