Fuse I was sitting here tonight thinking the same thing, can I go back to a 2 stroke? After chasing BJ around all year it sure would be fun to be on equal machinery. This is my set up and BJs he uses a 4 gallon for gas with a 2.75 gal. For oil, I think that what it is, on top and has a bag that fits between gas/oil can for clothes, etc. plus the "picnic basket on the rear
I am going to plumb my 4 gallon can into the fuel system for next winter so it empties first getting that weight off the rear end..
Make sure the plumber orders enough parts for two!
the stacked cans worked great (4300 miles) although I realize it's not recommended by doo.

Friday 24th
After a great day Thur. with everything falling into place it was time to move on and Phil1 had a plan to run through New Brunswick Via Moose Valley for lunch so he could say hello to his favorite gal in N.B. Josie. Off we went on 587 to local trails and into N.B. and meant the same quality trails and super scenery that we enjoyed in Quebec. Made it to Moose Valley for a great lunch and Phil1 got his wish as Josie was working.. After lunch Phil1 was leading the pack down through Edmundston and then pointed her north west on a super smooth FAST T.Q. 85 with his sights set on RDL and the last leg of our trip where he didn't disappoint with his pace!!
Got into RDL around 2:30 and loaded em up for the ride home.
I'd like to give a great big thank you to Phil1 and Scranton1 for the awesome job they did as our team leaders!!! Thanks guys!
One hell of a week with a great bunch of guys! Not only there riding ability but there Team Spirit and attitudes as well!
1303 smiles!
Doesn't get any better!
Cant wait to do it again next year.
Great report......

I have 96 down the center.....
lovedthem till yesterday when I noticed my rear middle idler chewed up.
the crew says I'm fine but it's rather disappointing
all studs installed per doo's torque specs. I took video and documented install and retorque.
retorqued after 500 miles
4000 miles on 850 now.....no trouble except for the idler.
i wonder if it's covered under warranty
lol

Nice pictures! It appears you are on the new lookout at Perce, I noticed it from Rolands in January but didn't have time to run up and check it out. Looks like lots of snow on the trails.
Look out is really neat
glass floor but with the snow it doesn't work so well

Gaspe to murdochville
trails 9-10 per BJ
trails 5-10 per Phil
is somebody aging faster than anticipated?
Group vote had trails 7-10.
apparently the groomer may have groomed when it was too warm as there were a bit of ruts in the trail on the green trail to murdochville.
*BJ didn't notice any ruts

Can't ride without them.
i was blown away with your product when I realized you can utilize the "Where to" feature of the GPS and your guided to the destination by snowmobile trail!
amazing product

Seems Florida Snowman and Scorpionbowl with Marty, decided to give it a go.
I think they will be back or maybe not. Taking the road was discussed, might not have been a bad idea.....

Thats why I'm watching TV deciding what time to have lunch and hit the hot tub.
Effort A+

Judgement ?

Stand Up, Sitting down, laying down on seat steering with your feet, i really could care less what anyone else does.
Just be on your side of the trail not riding up the middle. Try that.
Don,
I Totally Agree
I was just referring to a similar scenario to the pic below. Riding the single lane to try and make it up a deep snow covered hill without getting buried. It would have been impossible to be totally on the right side but I was doing everything possible for risk mitigation.
My apologies

You can't be for real.... this is the 2nd thread now where you are showing your stupidity.
I agree that the old school seating position is much more difficult to stand.
I agree that if your overweight it is more difficult to stand.
I would add that if your tall it is more difficult to stand.
I believe the "stupidity" comment is a little strong?
Between Baie Come and Godbout (The Roller Coaster Section) I found standing a necessity to increase sight lines as much as possible to avoid a head on collision when the trail was single lane.
My 2 cents and just my opinion. No malice intended.
The standing up while you shit comment gave me a good laugh.
My 6 year old daughter ran over to me and said "Dad what are you laughing at?"
PEACE,
BJ

Great Report
Just curious if there is much difference between 900 and 1200 for flotation on a day like this?
Does the 900 increased fuel economy hold up under these conditions?
Talk about a great test.
weight difference but less hp's
congrats! I believe the first timers are now the "5 percenters" applause 👏 👏💥💥

Monday morning a group of 5, from Harrisburg area left the Delta about 9AM. About 9:30 we had a white out snow squall came thru the area. The trails were icy from Saturday night/Sunday rain. These conditions resulted in this accident. Hit a tree. The man between 55 and 60 suffered 3 broken ribs, cuts and badly broken wrist that required surgery Monday night. He was discharged from the hospital last night around 8PM and the group headed towards home. One lucky guy that he only had the injuries that he had.
The primary reason for old fashioned STUD's.
i noticed he does have the pre studded track which is better than nothing.
My riding partner made comment about the remarkable difference he noticed between his ice ripper track (molded stud) and my 96 old fashion studs down the center.
Hopeful for a speedy recovery!

Yes you are definitely more in control going down the trail at 75 mph standing up. Said no one ever lol. Hey to each his own but if you are more comfortable and feel more in control standing up 60% of the time on the trails in Quebec than I am sorry but there is something wrong with your sled
Or your a midget.😂
I have actually ridden with a guy 5ft tall that it really didn't make a difference if he was sitting or standing.
really the only time in my life I felt jealous of someone so short and my height was a negative. He required no effort to go from sitting to standing as he was always 90 percent there before he turned the key.
