I know to feather the throttle on long runs. It was spitting oil out the exhaust the prior 2 days. Oil slick in the snow. Was hoping to make it back to RDL that way. HaHa still did with a new block! 3 motors in 16,000 miles all under warranty!
What were the other sleds?

Hopefully fines will be repaid to those affected.

I'm running the duraflex ones... They work perfectly..

Dupont slides if you can find them will help as well. I run with my scratchers down all the time and would not leave home with out them.🙂
The link posted shows the price for the replacement carbide tips. Click on the options to get the price for the scratchers. ($109.95)

With the hydraulic ones shown depending how your sled is tied down to a trailer the pistons may interfere. Just something to be aware of.

Another great day. Did 175 mile loop around Val Dor. Got caught speeding, got off with a warning.
How do you not "speed " there???🤔 Did everyone get a warning or just check all reg's and told to slow down?

As a group we're never happy. Not enough snow,too much snow, too warm,too cold, trails not groomed enough,trails groomed too much. It's not easy being us. LOL Speedy recovery to you guys and your sleds!
-
There are lots of signs on the trails throughout Quebec with a pic of a groomer and a 24 to indicate they can be grooming at any of the 24 hours of the day.
Glad nobody was seriously injured.

Quick update on our Packtalk bolds after riding thru the polar vortex last Friday thru sunday in Quebec.At -25f and 40mph winds they would last about 4 or 5 miles and give us a low battery alert then a Good Bye and shut off. After we would go inside to eat and or warm up we would turn them back on and they would work for another few miles without trying to charge them. This was how it was all day. Our colletts never gave us any problems ,but we had a battery pack that was kept out of the elements in our bibs.The much smaller battery on these units are internal on the headset and exposed to the elements while hanging on the side of the helmet. Saturday they lasted a bit longer in the still negative teens weather. Sunday at -4f to start and warming up to 12 they were much better for the 90 miles back to the truck. Mine quit about 10 miles from the truck and the other 2 made it all the way back. I sit taller in the seat than the other 2 and am not as protected from the wind even with my ultra tall windshield. Maybe plugging it into a power pack in my bibs it would help, but at the temps Fri and Sat i wasn't about to try. The packtalks don't like the extreme cold.

And here at the local grocery store
It's not a local village unless there is at least one dog running around pissing on everything!

No cook at Amosphere so supper was chicken wings or chicken fingers with fries. Waitress was also the “cook” poor girl ran around like a nut but did a great job, breakfast was normal and our dinner waitress was working again!
It's a shame that the "no work for me" attitude is overtaking the world in such a short period of time.

Looks like a parking lot taking a smoke break?

We used to have colletts and were very happy with them and would have bought them again but it was time for new ones. After some research we decided to go with Cardo Packtalk Bolds.They are supposed to be weather proof. You can pair up to 15 riders via their DMS mesh technology and can also connect to other brands via bluetooth.We use the boom mic on our various modular helmets. Only used them for the first time 2 weekends ago. The range seems to be a little less than the colletts but each unit is supposed to act like a repeater and on motorcycles they claim 15 riders can be strung out up to 5 miles and the front can talk to the back as long as each rider is in range of the next one. The voice activation is great and the sound is crystal clear without having to raise your voice to activate them. The battery life seems to be around 7-8 hours which is about 3/4 of a day for us ( if we start out at 7:00 )compared to the colletts which would last all day, but on them, there was a battery pack that we kept warm in our bib pocket and it was large compared to the packtalk where the battery is in the headset itself and much much smaller and is out in the weather/wind on your helmet. So I wouldn't expect it to last as long. If we give them a charge at lunch or a clubhouse visit with a portable phone charger we should be good for the day. Will find out more this weekend.

Admission to The Pearly Gates
The first applicant of the day explains that his last day was not a good one.
"I came home early and found my wife lying naked in bed. She claimed she had just got out of the shower. Well, her hair was dry and I checked the shower and it was completely dry too. I knew she was into some hanky-panky and I began to look for her lover. I went onto the balcony of our 9th-floor apartment and found the guy clinging to the rail by his fingertips. I was so angry that I began bashing his fingers with a flower pot. He let go and fell, but his fall was broken by some awnings and bushes. On seeing he was still alive I found super human strength to drag our antique cedar chest to the balcony and throw it over. It hit the man and killed him. At this point the stress got to me and I suffered a massive heart attack and died.”
Saint Peter thanked him for his story and sent him on to the waiting room.
The second applicant said that his last day was his worst.
"I was on the roof of an apartment building working on the AC equipment and I stumbled over my tools and toppled off the building. I managed to grab onto the balcony rail of a 9th-floor apartment but some idiot came rushing out on the balcony and bashed my hands with a flower pot. I fell but hit some awnings and bushes and survived, but as I looked up I saw a huge chest falling toward me. I tried to crawl out of the way but failed and was hit and killed by the chest.”
Saint Peter couldn't help but chuckle as he directs the man to the waiting room. Saint Peter is still chuckling when his third customer of the day enters.
He apologizes and says "I doubt that your last day was as interesting as the two fellows that arrived here just before you.”
“I don't know," replies the man. "Picture this, I'm naked, hiding in this cedar chest...”
