Did you hear if the Rivere St Maurice was passable all the way to Mekinac before this warm up?

Thanks for the on the ground updated info!

If you had charged your phone fully and still had it plugged in when you checked we would be riding tomorrow! LOL. There is always next weekend. Think Snow!

The battery charges were different.The more the battery is charged the more accurate the forecast is.Everybody knows that

Can't go wrong with the frozen fish.

That is the trick I have heard with the Yamaha engines when cold.....Crack the throttle.

We stayed and launched out of there saddlebagging many times thru the years.The rooms weren't the best but it was only for the first night.Made for a nice days ride up to RDL with several different trails to take. Early in the season we would stay away from 5 due to the lack of snow at least until the Hiboux club.55 is one of my favorite trails as it winds up and down thru the maple groves.The lobby and bar was completely renovated a couple years ago and thought they were doing ok.

Thanks. Sounds like it may be an old recording if they are closed?

I tried calling there a few times and just get a recording in French.Think it says to call another #. Maybe one of our bilingual members can get a better translation. # is 1-800-561-5921

Nice! That will be there for awhile. Is that a belt I smell??

Nice and clean! Looks like they are 3D printed.

I've been running those also for around 6 years.Took them off my last sled and put them on my current ride.No worries about reverse or railroad tracks.

They are not on this years map and have heard they were sold and is going to be turned into condos.

I would give them 2 weeks before you go so they can get the trails groomed and marked.

Will this new dealership have a trail to it ?

Makes you think twice about doing a "snow dance".Hope the damage is minimal for everyone.

The spec for my 2016 1200 says it has a has a 40 litre tank/10.6 gallons.This winter I drove it to the pump and put in 37.6 litres. You have to burp the tank and you can put in 3-4 more litres.

We have had good luck with Colletts since the 90's.Our first set we had enough ordered to get our own club channel for free.The platinum 900's we are using now are 7 or so years old and the battery's last all day for us.Some of our riding days are 12-14 hours.We find them really helpful on the trails and you can get one with bluetooth so you can answer your phone while riding.If you have cell service your range is then unlimited if needed.

Whats up with the duct tape on the helmet?

Another vote for the ice ripper

I remember those trails.The only time they were good was when they were fresh groomed.They were found to be much more unsafe and the best thing they did was get rid of them.The corners would get blown out and then you were on the wrong side and it wasn't always easy to get back into your own lane.They caused a lot of head on crashes.If you caught up to a slow group you were stuck behind them for a long time and would have to make many jumps back and forth over the berm to get by everyone unless there was a very long straightaway and you could clearly see ahead and safely pass the entire group and then the rest of your passing group also faced the same dilemma.And as VTblue stated they didn't hold up after being groomed anywhere near as long as the trails we enjoy now.Every single sled rode in the exact same track as the sled before it.Imagine if everyone only rode the extreme right now.The trails hold up as well as they do now because everyone can pick a different line and spread the abuse out.Ride right in the corners but where you can see ahead enjoy the smooth parts of the trail.If you want to always ride extreme right ,than thanks for leaving me the middle on the straights.

Yea,right up Iceman's alley. And has a 14 gallon gas tank.

I sometimes stand for a couple of minutes to stretch or to air the "boys" out when it's warm out.
