PISTON LAKE CRUISER

Antique is considered 2005 or older. If Quebec is like Ontario there are quite a few locals and young guys riding older sleds as there trail sled. That fact may have been part of the pricing decision.

I didn't see any compound in the drawings.

I think having to buy a $900.00 permit trailside if/when you get caught without one in Quebec is a VERY strong deterent. How old your sled is doesn't matter at that point.

So did the dogbone have 4 factory installed bearings in it that were too small OD for the holes in the dogbone?

Interesting that Doo didn't announce the recall until after the season is pretty much over.

I have to believe that a steel pickup would have faired better in that collision that this aluminum F150 did. I hope the individual(s) in the truck survived.

Look at the web address in the box at the top of the paIf it has https: delete the s. That cured the issue for me.

I'm not sure about the US but in the past in Ontario it has been sled club volunteers who sell the advertising (that pays for the maps) in the summer. Everything is rushed so that the maps can be printed hopefully before the sled shows but at least in time for the sled season. When they are done many of these same volunteers start getting Mou's signed and trails staked and signed. There is just no time for worrying about map changes for closing of businesses shown on the maps and late trail location changes.

Damn, I'm getting old! I totally forgot about the New Liskeard/Notre Dame Du Nord crossing.

There are only 2 trails into Quebec on the western side from Ontario as you are likely aware. A110Q from Kirkland Lake or A102Q from North of North Bay to Temiskaming. We rode the area around A102 last week. The trails had lots of snow after the rain and were in excellant shape. If you are going via A110Q, Signfan's idea to go south from Timmins makes via Gowganda makes the most sense for getting into Quebec to head to wards Chibougamau. Shortest from Gowganda east to Elk Lake then the A south, L161, L108, A109 to A110Q. There are 2 good spots to stay in Gowganda even though it is a very small community and fuel at a cardlock coming into Elk Lake on A107C. We did ride west towards Sudbury on the D trail (southern route) to Sturgeon Falls. The D was very good in that area this past Thursday.

I think it was A102Q as trails going to Quebec from Ontario have a Q at the end to denote that.

There are many very successful accomodations and restaurants that sell for top dollar because of their success then the new owners change the menu or services to what they think is correct. These newbies just don't get the don't mess with success idea.

Thank You for all your efforts! We appreciate it.

I wonder if he has insurance coverage for the sleds he is hauling. I'm not sure what my insurance would cover ,if anything ,if it was on a truck/trailer in Quebec and involved in an accident on the road.

I wonder if he will do it for one sled?
