snowmaster2112 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 If your looking for a trail report....LOL....I have none yet. Wont be starting the trip until Sunday morning. Arriving in St Pamphile Saturday for supper. It has been about 4 years since we were there and we are on a redemption tour as last time we couldn't fully complete the trip due to mother nature. I have very fond memories of the 1/2 dozen or so times we have done the Gaspesie. Like in 2003 when mon ami Andre and I left his parents place in St Jean-de-Matha on a Saturday morning and returned the following Saturday afternoon with 2000 miles on after circling the Gaspe from there. He was on a Yamaha 700 SRX triple and me on a 2001 MXZ800 ZX chassis. We literally had ZERO issues with the machines or trails the entire ride. Don't think I could duplicate it again nowadays if I had Bill Gates money. So it got me to looking at some old pics and decided to post them if any ones interested. Would ALSO like to see any Gaspe pics and stories YOU have as it will pump me up even more for the trip. The older the better. I look at these pics and think man....snowmobiling was more fun, cheaper and EASY back then than it is today for some reason. Here....mon ami Andre at gas station in Murdochville. I call it my "whole lotta yellow" picture. If I zoom in I can see my triangular shaped Garmin V on the bars. This was pre Zumo450 I still use.

snowmaster2112 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Here same day my 2007 MXZ 600SDI which was a big mistake. Way to underpowered for me. Spent two seasons with it to the bar everywhere I went and still couldnt hurt it. Had a two year engine warranty and couldn't get a new one no matter how hard I tried. Sold it with 8,XXX miles. I do see that my beloved Zumo (which I still use) made it's debut that year though. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmaster2112 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Fu*&er came out of nowhere OVER the bank UP on the trail with me doing 75+. I figure by the time I hit him I was doing 60+ his body wrapped around right side and kicked up into the air EASY 10 ft where he came crashing down in the middle of the trail with a broken back. I stepped off the sled, reached in my pocket for my camera (yes it was a camera back then LOL) and took this pic Shit was all over my bibs too poltodoo, PLAYHARD and zeusand 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kidding aside good to know you walked away from it unhurt. Have a great trip. Hopefully the moose aren't an issue this year in the gaspe.

That was a great sled for about 10,000 miles. Then it ate a piston. It didn't owe me anything. I had the engine worked on in the Saguenay. It didn't hold up well and I moved on.
