  1. Thanks Midrange. I'm hoping for all the folks that damage is minimal.
  2. My house last week.
  3. Wishing the best for folks there. We already went through our spring flood here and the water was dropping nicely but has come up 6 inches again overnight. We are down river from those northern reservoirs via the Rouge river and if it gets raging down it water backs up fast into my lake, but I understand they can and do divert the flow to either the Gatineau or the Rouge. Ether way it is all going down the Ottawa and those poor folks in Riguad could get hit again.
  4. Smokey the bear has a new post retirement job? Grin!
  5. Is the name change to protect the inocent?
  6. And if it really gets bad you might resort to sled jacking or dealership invasion to support your habit. Remember most of us started out as recreational users.😁
  7. I read into complete redesigned power train as the elimination of any clutching or gearing other than maybe a reduction gear to match motor rpm to track rpm. I believe high performance electric cars like the Tesla have no need for a gear box only a reduction gear. As electric motors I believe have full torque from zero rpm up to pretty much their maximum rpm.
  8. Green trail on the iMotoneige map may have a new meaning, power outlets on trees every 75km.
  9. Expensive yes, but I'm thinking there can't be many places with decent snow so that gallon should last a long time snowmobing in the U.K.
  10. Thanks for the good wishes, happy summer to all. Flooding around my place is a routine spring event and this year was a little worse than normal but certainly not the worst we have seen. When we decided to sell up in Montreal and move to our cottage we raised the house 9 feet and built a flood proof basement. Water often surrounds the house in spring for a few days and as long as the pumps are working the basement is bone dry. The water has gone down a bit and was about a foot higher than today.
  11. They are not legal on Quebec roads and since they apply and try to enforce a lot of the Quebec Highway Code on the trails, I would think they are a big no no on the trails too. Perhaps the best option is have a designated decoy with the fastest sled in the group lead.😁
  12. That'll freeze right up!

    Be Ready

    188 days?, don't rush me! I got to store the sleds, get the bike out and prep it, get the boats out and clean them up, put the docks in the water, then haul them out, haul and store the boats, put the bike away, bring the sleds out and give them a preseason go over and somewhere in there find time to cut the grass and take the empty beer bottles back to the store!😁
  15. Well now that really sucks, Sled Week will never be the same.
  16. Yeah I think they are going after texting while riding too, cell phone use with blue tooth only.
  17. Markusvt, I wanted to click like on your post above but that did not seem appropriate. Sad story and I hope that this and other stories like it will stay in our minds and remind us to exercise a little more caution and be vigilant always. Thank's for posting this.
  18. Holly crap hope none of those vehicles belong to guys on here.
  19. Big news, I think this might change everything, can't wait! Better in French.
  20. Must have been some fire burning for 7 years.😁😁
  21. Well I hope they are more up to date than their ride command app. I down loaded it to my I phone in January for fun and cause it was free. The latest version for Qc was 2015 and it showed trails in my area the had been closed for over 5 years and missing a new trail that was 2 years old. I emailed their support pointing this out and suggested they look at the fcmq map or I Motoneige. I got a reply back more or less stating they rely on input form different snowmobile clubs for input and / or official advisors and did I want to register to become one? I deleted the app.
  22. Yeah was he slow, she got his name and number and he didn't even get a pic!😁
  23. SQ, FMCQ, you sure seem to attract attention JG. trails are in melt down mode here for sure. Sat was Ok but by the end of the day the sun had done major damage.
  24. A long time ago when trail grooming was just getting started there was a section of trail near lac des Plages that was 2 lanes each about 5 ft wide with a 3 ft or so snow median between. I remember thinking man have they got this figured out, less danger of meeting a sled head on. Now they groom trails wider and there is always a danger a dim watt is going to use all of it. Maybe they should reconsider the two lane idea.
  25. Sad, this guy paid with his life for what ever the actual cause was. It is also sad that in the comments some no brain takes this opportunity to give his arm chair evaluation of the cause and who should be responsible. RIP
