  1. Very Sad. Condolances to the families.
  2. Congratulations! Enjoy, it's a great bike, despite the air filter.🤪
  3. It Snowed in Maine yesterday. Northern and interior areas got quite a bit. I guess a few of the clubs might groom. Here in Southern Maine we got about four inches before it turned to freezing rain. My birch trees got tired and laid down for a nap. The power went out just after 9:30 last night. still out this morning just before 4:30. I am thankful for the stand by generator that I had installed last year. I spent the day yesterday working on my motorcycle. Changing the air filter on my 2018 Honda Goldwing. I thought the previous generation Goldwing was bad. This is worse. A ridiculous process. It was a good day for it. I left a note for the next guy that does it. When I wrote it, I was determined that it would not be me.... Changing The Air Filter on a 2018 Honda Goldwing
  4. Indeed, 860 more than I did though. As the Sports teams say. Looking forward to next season.... 😀
  5. 👍💪🏄‍♂️
  6. 👍I never get tired of the Gaspesie!
  7. Yes indeed. I would love to get back to La Belle Province on the summer Sled. Good opportunity to check out some places to stay in the winter. Here's a trip from quite a few years ago on the old 2001 Wing. I put 221k miles on that one. Gaspesie on the Wing
  8. Awesome. Glad you were able to get the trip in, with good conditions.👍💪
  9. Rest in Peace. I stayed there back in the mid nineties. I recall recruiting my mother to make the phone call to make reservations. I was not confident in my French over the phone. I believe she actually spoke to him. I recall all the signs in the area on the roads and trails with his trademark black Handlebar Mustache.
  10. I am glad the original poster was able to make arrangements. My best one was in Houlton, Maine 1990. Brand new Ski Doo (GLX?) It was a one up touring with the MX 462 motor I believe. Had a steering component fail in the parking lot at Pizza Hut. A very knowledgeable gal answered the phone at the SkiDoo shop. She delivered the part and we repaired it. Not much later that afternoon, the motor quit. We towed back to the parking lot at Pizza Hut and made the call. (No Cell Phones) Dealer came and got the sled. The guys got directions to get to the shop by trail, and I was to ride double back to Shin Pond. Hours passed, and darkness fell. I was standing under the Ski Doo sign holding my helmet. The owner's son asked what my plan was. I said I would have to wait. I had no way to communicate with my friends. He offered me his Nineteen Eighty something F-150. I waited until my friends showed up, then drove to Shin Pond. The next morning I called the shop a little after 0800 to inquire what they thought the time frame would be. They advised it would be ready when I got there. We loaded one sled into the truck and drove over. I filled the truck with gas and left a 12 pack on the seat. I offered to pay the son cash also. He was more than happy with what I had done. Great Family business, and great people. That kid did not know me, and gave me his truck. Not sure that would happen today, even in that area. I don't recall what was wrong with the sled, it might have been a piston. It was heat related. That sled had no vents at all in the hood. They were able to work on it the afternoon I brought it in. I traded it for a 1991 Mach 1 after that season.
  11. I had to look up "SEPAQ" @icemandescribed it perfectly. They employ 3400 people.......🤐 More tax dollars at work.....🙄😞 SEPAQ
  12. Awesome. I am glad you were able to get out and enjoy it. 👍
  13. Have a good day on the trails Mr. and @Mrs.Ice @iceman and @Snohorse.
  14. Zero miles for me also. I drained the stabilized fuel that I filled it with in March 2023 out of it Tuesday. I will burn that in my zero turn mower in a few weeks. Kudos to those that are out on the trail now. 👍💪 Best of luck! I came back to the truck in mud and gravel last March. That sled is still not completely clean. Hopefully 2025 is better.
  15. I did not get out once. Disappointed, but no regrets. There are certainly worse things in life that could happen. I will register my sled for 2025 on July 1 , and buy my Quebec and New Brunswick Trail Passes as soon as they are available like I usually do, and look forward to next year.
  16. Where are you going from there?😬Google is telling me it is 45 degrees F there now.....
  17. Nice! I am glad it went well for you.
  18. I am curious if the " Contributing Member" status on a user's profile is related to content contribution, or financial contribution? I have given $125 to : "PAYPAL *JOHN ROWE 888-221-1161 CA" since January 2023. Other amounts in previous years. I have been doing so via the membership drive banner at the top of the page,,, Hopefully the money has been going to the correct place...
  19. Excellent! I am glad you made it through there. Back to Riviere Du Loup today? I hope it goes well.
  20. On dirait que c'est l'hiver.👍
  21. Thanks for posting. Glad you had a good day.
  22. Indeed. Lodging has become a pain. Hopefully you can get around the south side before the warm up. Unless you plan to go back North via Murdochville. Good luck.
