I see your getting pictures of all types of wild life.....John Deere and Tigercats!

I wear the choko Adventurer jacket now, before that, the choko extreme touring, choko racing, the choko Bear, and first the choko 400. You can gaurentee you will never be cold in these choko jackets or their pants. The best in my opinion was the Extreme Touring jacket with the zip in zip out liner and the venting. This is what drew me to the waterproof Absolute 0 jacket, super warm even on the coldest days, then for late February early March, put the liner in the saddlebags and pull the venting boppers open. Yes they are a little more then some jackets, but you never want to be cold, sweaty, or wet from the outside in.

I have mixed feelings because of the shield, however I am optimistic that is now resolved with the newest version.  Four big pluses with this helmet: huge visibility, very quiet, very lightwieght, and warm. The visor also works well and a user can quickly and easily switch from the dark shield to the yellow one in seconds on the trail when light conditions change.

I know this isn't the brand's you discussing but last winter I tried a pair of Absolute 0 pants from Ski Doo. Very warm, light, and gaurenteed waterproof. Best pants I have ever owned. This coming season I am purchasing the jacket to go with them. Met a chap at St Paulin with the jacket, he told me he didn't use the liner in till it was -30° or colder.

Yes is was...... obviously an alcohol related misprint.

On my last trip out I put on a third new shield. The first two were exchanged no questions asked through my dealer. The third one worked well on the last trip, however that was early March and there were no temps colder then -10c. The third shield was a different part # then the first two, my dealer said he thought brp has the previous issues resolved. Time will tell, I hope so, they are an awesome helmet when the shield is clear.

It doesn't look like people will be mowing grass in the Zec for a while yet.

Rule #1 of riding in Quebec: Do not ride through or around Quebec City on the weekend.

That looks like a very cool lookout, I will definitely be stopping there next time in the Gaspesie.

I saw the deer in two pictures. I hope you did the right thing with the quill pig.

Better check with Flourette about the grossed pontine extra fromage, I ordered it for you. She said you would not want it!! That was the day we met you with Linda's crew.

My eyes aren't as good as they used to be....anyone see a trail permit on that machine???? Unreal to still have such good looking conditions.

With the stock windshield it appears you are not only going to look cool.....but you will be cool!!! Those little windshields that come stock were not made for Chibougamau

Good luck with the water Norm. Looks like there is still lots of snow and ice to melt yet!
