You can be sure if Yamaha is coming back with a 2 stroke, it will be like no other sleds 2 stroke. They made the best 2 strokes in the industry and on the water, hope it comes to a trail sled as well as the mountain. I am surprised though, sleds are the very smallest part of that company and I was beginning to think maybe they were getting ready to say good bye, but 880 sounds like they picked that size to come back and make a statement, but everyone knows that only a very small percentage of people buy the big iron and mostly that segment is not that profitable, time will tell, here's to hoping.

Proper planning prevents poor performance...you should have got the model with the optional drinks cooler instead of that basket!

445 for regular and we just got it for 198 in Ma...less 30percent, I would rather be there riding than seeing it online, trails look mint, be safe.

JG, I lost my dad 2 weeks before Christmas, 87 years old, killed in a car accident a mile from my shop, he was a passenger, I know what you are going thru,my deepest sympathy to you and your family, Best Wishes, Bob.

Cabanon to the river matawin, back in the late 80's and early 90's always read around 100 to 102 miles on my sleds, but you know the speedometers were probably off by 10 percent...180 each way, still amazing when you think 4 trips, on those old suspensions, it a hell of a day even today.

The best official, documented miles in a day, in Quebec, early 1990's...Dennis, the owner of Le Cabonon and Lee, the former owner of Bistro St Zenon, left Le Cabonon for River Matiwin thru the park on 360 and back to Le Cabonon on Mack Z's...4 TIMES IN 1 DAY.....YOU DO THE MATH.....800 MILES!! when you think about the miles it seems impossible...then you think about the park and 75 to 80 is very doable on that trail of 100 miles. They were done at 6 30 pm, and very tired, years later Lee said he would never do any thing like that again. You can hear all kinds of stories, I know this one to be fact and I know with today's sleds, it could easily be done on the very same trail...just have to have nice grooming and no traffic.

It looks like it is coming along nicely, it won't be long!!

Mike, the winner here is Universal Hotel, you will not be able to afford gas for your sled this winter!!!

I too can find nothing on this, some one posting from Ontario is screwing with us!!

I sure hope that this is just a late April fools joke, hopefully Trudeau is much smarter than this. A 25 % tax on Americans will most certainly hurt Canadians more than anyone. All the folks in business are basically running their ass' off paying taxes and insurance and trying to make a living and certainly do not need this kind of HELP?? Trump has made some bad decisions, especially with Canada and all our wonderful friends North of the border, but I can assure you IT IS NOT THE WAY THE AMERICANS REALLY FEEL OR WANT THINGS.Following Trumps lead is a mistake, we all know every day is a day closer to all this garbage ending. Most of us really enjoy our trips to Canada, our friends there, and it is a wonderful escape from all this garbage, hope this is not true!!

you will absolutely pay more for buying it on the trail, you will even see that sign out on the trail, you can buy a pass at the hotel just over the suspension bridge crossing from the Gaspie to N- B at Point Crossing, if you are going to Moose Valley thru Kedgewick River.

Godbout also ferries to Matane, I think it is the same boat that goes to Baie Comeau.

Yes, I have tried this a few times, never works, they see stuff like different colored skis, etc.

Mike, you have him trained well, he'll never go on the furniture when your not home!!

Yes, this is a great trail and with the ferry to Matane you can combine it with the North shore of the Gaspie and have it all!!

I hope that means that 355 will get more grooming, it is a wonderful trail, but when it is not groomed...you wish you went a different way.

GT, many thanks for posting this film, really great and it gives anyone who is considering going past the Mosey river a real good idea of what to expect and how serious this adventure is,, best post I have seen yet on this area, Bob.

Ice, not a good thing, but you are in the right place, here is hoping for a quick recovery, best wishes, be well, Bob.

Best gift in the world!!

JG, my buddy has a camp like yours, 20 miles to get there by water, up 2 rivers and across one lake, in northern Maine. We go there at ice out for landlocked salmon every spring and another week for brookies. Spend a week at a time, and never see another person, probably the best 2 weeks of the year, totally off the grid, I know what you are saying, hard to close it down for the year. We will probably go back in December to hunt dear, and hang by the wood stove. Best part of this is that it is starting to look like the season is turning to SLEDDING, we will all see you soon. Thanks for the ariel pics, really beautiful, Bob.

Now entering the very best the year has to offer, just put down my fly rod from a salmon fishing trip, picking up my shot gun to chase pheasants with my lab for 2 months, THEN SLEDDING ALL WINTER, BOY DOES SUMMER SUCK!!

Gutz, that sure is a tough looking set of bumpers, good thing they are aluminum, would add 40 lbs if they were steel, nobody wants to rear end that sled!!

JG, I hope some serious rain comes your way soon, does not look good for the salmon..or for that matter , anything, way too dry, lucky no fires, maybe the weather man is saving it all for us this winter, Bob.

3 day passes we available, cannot remember the cost, the trails are really well maintained with less traffic than other areas, and it is done by a lot of volunteers, very impressive!!

If crossing into New Brunswick at Point Crossing, just after you go over the suspension bridge the Hotel on the left, right where the trail is , has passes and also a great place to stay, use a tow service flat bed to trailer over if there is no safe ice on the bay.
