    Just pulled the trigger on a 2024 Lynx x terrain brutal 850...trading in the 2020 extreme...lighter sled without the two speed transmission with XRS suspension...and 4 more wheels in rear skid and a 7.2 cluster...all the Linq accessories swap over...great trade and 1.4 interest...putting my faith in many more great winters ahead of us...and hopefully the best is yet to come this season...like ice said...IT ISN'T OVER!!

    Started swapping trailers when they get near the 10 year mark, added dual axles this last time, if I get a flat I can now at least get to a spot away from heavy traffic to change it

    I bought the same trailer with 13 inch double axles , electric brakes and 14 long...pulls and stops like it isn't even there...rear drop down door as well

    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

    Canada is a great place to ride a bike… the scenery is incredible…221 is impressive… no denying the Honda Wing has a bullet proof engine… I’ve owned countless bikes over the years…never had a bad brand… but I’ve never got near that mileage …65k on a Honda 750 in the eighties… that’s when I knew they were good… currently on a limited… have a great summer…

  5. got to love it...I'm not 35 anymore but still love the adventure...this is a young mans game...and an expensive one...imagine these sleds don't go much more than 2k miles without major service...that's a little more than a week for me...3 rides and I had 5300 on my expedition extreme...thanks for posting

  6. Early 90’s in St Donat… half way across Lake Archimbault my friends 583 MXZ seized a cylinder…8am.. first morning..  10 minutes into a week long trip… we tow him a few miles to the tiny ski doo dealer… they loan… for free.. him a sled… we come back at 3 in the afternoon… sled is ready with new cylinders pistons and rings… and clean carburetors… 650$… those were the good old days… and it saved our trip… I’ve been extremely lucky over the last 4 plus decades… but aI feel for everyone stuck or broke down… for many it’s their yearly vacation… and timely help is of utmost importance… for the most part I’ve found Quebec service and hospitality to be second to none… but we are living in a new after covid world… and this great experiment is failing miserably

    I never had the honor. RIP.

    Is the man depicted in the attached 2023 news article one and the same?  https://www.pourvoiries.com/en/blog/pourvoirie-au-pays-de-real-masse-a-woodsman-at-heart.  Great write up. 

    Absolutely… this article is 100 percent on the money..  exactly who he was… one in a million… a true gentleman… long live his legacy

    had too hire a truck for4 of us plus sleds   trails were shot over two weeks between roberval and alma   fcmq app is very misleading.call the trail what it really is..if i decide to ride on yellow trails that is my choice ..cant believe these guys are still fighting the fight  ..word of advice in alma on a saturday afternoon rental cars and haul is non existent .. app still calls yellow marginal and green good  what a joke

    I certainly feel for you...trail and grooming info has been inconsistent all season...no doubt about it
