    Here it is now Thursday morning after coming off at 7:30 pm the night before in matane. Quick nick is complaining about the up and down woods twisted at end of ride Wednesday.ok then I got a trail for you. We set out from Quality Inn Matane head 5 East and trail all nice and flat. A lot of rerouted trail leading to 595 Intersection. We got to the 595 and it is sweet. We ride hard to La Cache for Gas . When we get there the gas truck is filling the tank so we have to wait.We go in to have lunch. All very nice.106 miles and :Nick is all smiles. We then get the super gas and go back to pay and when back outside see Gemma while GT was fueling.We burn down 595 to New Richmond trail wide and plenty snow cover although A lot of waves made it fun at high speed. In at 3 at motel along with many others.Early happy hour.Planning to go Up towards Amqui today.

    Myself and Quicknick having fun with Bob and Jared. Those two needed gas and oil not our half. I figure it must be those skies, but no use getting him to admit it.

    Quicknick is giving me more respect for the 1200 Enduro. I never would figure it could off Trail that well.

    Trail 3 quest from sept ile  white asphalt with a 8" grummer curb on right to stick your ski against. Gas up in Baie  Trinite no gas in Godbout . Trail between there and Baie Comeu up and down hills and twisty sweet with 8 "powder on top . Gas right after Baie Comeau bridge trail a bit choppy for 30 miles then the rest 60 miles flat and fast to Foresville. Loop down les Escoumins back to ferry in Godbout   for 5:00 touch down Matane tomorrow. Great spring Jay day weather here. Come get it while you can.

    The 1200 4-Tek is junk. I ran a 2012 800 e-tec  for 4 years 18000 miles  with only piston recall @ 10k NO problems.

    Actually the only problem I had was the dealer rebuilding it with the pistons. Did not secure the fuel injectors and on a trip 600 miles into it gas was spraying all over the engine compartment.

    Everyone talked me into the 1200 for the miles I ride . So I get one and it eats a valve @ 4200 miles !!

    Love my SKI-doo's. This sled is my 14 th new one since coming to Quebec. Came off a 2016 Enduro . Great handling sled with all the bells and whistles. R-Motion skid and TS skies.

    The only bad choice was the power plant 1200 4-TEC and electronic throttle. Had good star off snap and mid range but no long legs only 130 HP. Throttle too sensitive on ditch banging.

    The worste was in snow storms the snow would pack @ hinge of flapper and restrict it. Enough with that.

    BCX 650 with it's new CMotion skid is awesome featuring the tip rail the 146 track corners  better than the 137.  I adapted to the DS stock skies and ran them well. For sure a aggressive trail ridding sled if you care to take part. Ran spindle spacer at the widest setting. Looking at putting a set of TS skies on her. Like the toggle switches on console great with my mitten gloves. Running the high windshield with wind deflectors, Clear stock hand guards and hands plenty warm. Last run out was very cold. The mountain loop strap i left on to hang my helmet on. The 165 HP is a must have option. I can ride @ 70MH and at a rise in trail whack it and the front end floats right up. Oil on last trip getting 160 miles per liter. Oil is consumed as how you ride the throttle. ICEman and I figured out best mileage running SUPER. 2800 miles on her now only had to change chain oil and adjust slack. My opinion this seld has a lot of fun factor !! Four year spring check warranty. I am going to run it.

    One other note. The seat is great for touring. Rode one day 327 miles PERFECT !
