  1. That would be planking Crazysnow, something new the kids are doing. Like Jackstaw said "looks exciting".
  2. Holy patunias http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0118
  3. I had a feeling i had seen that picture of you in your shorts somewhere. http://www.quebecrider.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1848
  4. My appology Midrage and guys, i got a little carried away in the beginning of my post. I didn't want to step on any toes just provide a helpful tip.
  5. Ha ha ha ha good one, i haven't heard that one yet. Hence why i ride a Yamaha.lol. For as long as i can remember BRP has been using the general public for their post R&D on their sleds, you break'm tell'm about it and they fix it for the next year, call it new and improved or an X2 package or something of that nature. I only bought a few of their sleds many years ago and everyone of them blew up on me a number of times,on my last one a '99 Fomula lll 3 in 1, i blew the dam thing up 3 times in a row didn't even make a 100 miles on it, on the third time i took on the repairs myself. My dad who owned and flew lightweight aircrafts equiped with Rotax engines at the time told me there are several inspection procedures to follow on Rotax aircraft engines to prevent them from failing, he advised me to perform a leak test on the engine, a simple procedure, seal the intake and exhaust ports and pump in a few pounds of air through the spark plug hole and monitor the pressure if the cylinder loses air pressure you have a leak and it will lean out and burn on you. I had two leaks where the crankcase housing is assembled together, it was a simple machining error from production, 5 minutes with a file and it was all good. I put 12000klms on that sled afterwards with out a hitch. If you're blowing up too often i highly recommend this procedure, it's not done in production. A BRP dealer will not do this procedure for you. :angry: Though the sleds have changed over the years and have looks to boot i will not trust another.
  6. It's coming your way JG, we recieved about 10cms this morning and while having lunch i watched the weather report, they said the system is passing through eastern Canada later today and tonight, Moncton,Shediac area upwards of 15cms and Halifax 20+. JG
  7. Don't kid yourself Phil,my riding partner has a 1200 GSX and it's just as fast as my Apex LTX GT and much cheaper on fuel aswell. Good bang for your buck and all the bells'n whistles come with it too. The only downfall...it's a BRP.lol.
  8. Well said Andy and all so very true. I have been a big bore ridder for the longest time ever and have been nuts about the top speed, all though i find myself waiting often at intersections for the group to arrive, i have understood over the years that you are as fast as the slowest one. Makes no difference if your on a 1000 or a 600 it's all up to the rider. "Touring Quebec can be done on a lot less than 177hp." I agree too.
  9. Too funny...never seen anything like it, keep dancing.
  10. Ours is not so fancy, the house is around 150 years old, beer and spirits served only to members.
  11. Yeah...like we're a bunch of diplomats. Cool
  12. Just a little story to share with you Linda. On the last year Le Parc des Hors Gorges was open to to snowmobilers i was on a trip with a friend looping Lac St.Jean and decided to show him this Parc that i had talked to him about for many years, because i knew it was going to be our last year to visit the Parc. This Parc is located just south west of the Saguenay river between Lac St.Jean and the St.Lawrence river. The Parc consists of a trail riding along side of a river with 1500 feet mountains on each side of you(magnificient)and the only way out is to follow the river which would lead you to the Charlevoix region(if you're coming from LSJ). Another magnificient area to visit on snowmobile. Before entering the parc we would ride on a groomed forest road trail and just as we were to begin decending into the gorges there was this little club house in the middle of nowhere, the only access was by sled. Once we entering the parking area we noticed two SQ(Surite Quebec Police)snowmobiles parked there. As we walked into the establishment we quickly noticed the place was packed as it was around the lunch time and i would have to say almost everyone inside was drinking beer and the two officers...well they were there having their lunch(not drinking). We were both astonished and boggled as we were, we didn't dare to order a beer, had lunch and got out. So...there must have been some kind've medium going around there and the cops, i'm sure they too must have a tolerance level of some kind, i say this 'cause the officers were two older gents and my guess is, if they were much younger the would have probably felt they had to prove themselves and stir up a ruckas of some kind. JG
  13. With this being said, are you saying Ontario snowmobile clubs don't have any relais's with food and refreshments for their members? Leaving from my house to my cottage by sled i have to pass through Ontario a little and come to think of it, i have seen a couple warming huts but no Relais. However i am riding not far into the province before i have to reenter Quebec. What about deeper in the province?
  14. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Nothing escapes you JG
