  1. I too have ridden solo in Quebec - not generally recommended but I was riding from the same place and returning there each day.

    Hats off to you! I could say you were lucky but having also run out of gas alone, I can’t judge! Thanks for the write up and pictures.

    I’m changing the engine on that very same truck right this minute… when I was taking the front end apart I was thinking there was very little strength to anything as far as crash protection is concerned… steel frame covered with aluminum foil

    I have to ask:  what happened to the engine that you are changing it?

  3. Don’t want be labeled a ‘climate denier’ but there have always been ’bad winters’. Certainly last winter was notable for a lack of snow nearly everywhere but I’ll try to be a bit optimistic and hope to look back again in 5yrs to say “don’t need these snowmobiles anymore” 😢

  4. To each their own and obviously everyone has a favorite but Yamaha’s record for reliability is hard to eclipse. 50k+ miles was not unusual. They got greed/sloppy after manufacturing left Japan but the engineering was solid and certainly led to many industry firsts. For me, their lag on developing a really great suspension was a disappointment that was never fulfilled.

  5. I have ridden many miles in this region but am very unclear about the current effect(s) PBPA has on trails. 
    There are major TQ trails running east + west as well as many excellent green north/south trails that form a very nice grid work of trails to explore with lots to explore. Water crossings are probably 80%+ served by bridges. Many don’t like this area b/c there are lots of road crossings and not as much flat out riding as most trails on the northern side of the St. Lawrence. 
    Lac Etchemin + Thetford Mines area have historically had sporadic theft issues so be aware 

    Other than the hotel at the golf course in Beauceville, lodging is pretty limited in that area. Curious where you’re considering staying?
