rfm Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hey Rob,Is that Robert McFall from Virginia petting Greta? Looks alot like him. He was up there last year when I was there. He should get an award for the rider driving from the most southern point in the states to ride. Is the helmet still working OK? No elect. visor yet? Bill No thats not me in the picture (I would like to be up there) but I'll drink with her too, then she can lead me around the lobby :wacko: Bob McFall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfm Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 We, Rob, Mubs, Mikerider, Andyman and myself rode 225 miles today. Trails were great, temps were just right and scenery was great. A few pictures of our day. WOW! nice pictures......I need to call in sick (for a week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfm Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Rob,I was counting on you to do the cold weather testing on that helmet. I am stuck in LA (the land of fruits and nuts) and you are there enjoying those perfect trails. The LEAST you could do for us is a thorough testing of the BV2S :) Have fun and leave some snow Bill LOL, "I am stuck in LA (the land of fruits and nuts)" Isn't that were they make that new convertable car....... the one that the top doesn't go down the driver does.

Brdgbldr85 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thank you very much! I think we'll plan on riding from Quebec City then. Where do ypu stay around Quebec to park your truck and trailer tyhat it is secure when you return ? I will be at the HI from Sunday -Wed and have talked to other people that the trails from Q city up are in good shape. Feedback is appreciated and a contact for the hotel. I was going to ride around Shawinigan and canceled to join Bill at the HI since they are still having water and interconnecting trail issues. Thanks, Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend700 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'd say there's a little more snow at La Chapelle then in this pic from 12/14/2006... true, what a difference from this years T-day trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had lunch in Milot [soup, beef, 2 scoops mashed potatoes, sald, desert and coffee......$9.31] at best place in town. Back across the Peribonka back to the HI, with a few diversions. Trails were very,very good. Oh well, just another day here in Paradise. Few pictures from today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowworks Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Mikerider, We are hoping to be up somewhere around the 8th of Feb. This would be a full RoughRider event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Sorry Rob no more 2 smokes for me!! How about the new Direct Inject two stroke? 25 miles per gallon, no smoke, xp chassis! Gutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultrastryk Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 The SDI in an XP chassis is def. the ticket. I can see how 4 stroke guys would not want to go back to the smoke of a 2 stroke. However, after riding an XP, and can't imagine wanting to go to a sled that weights 100 lbs MORE. When you have to move sleds around in the trailer, or you get off trail and stuck, the XP is so easy to lift, not to mention throw around in the tight twisties.

MichiganRev Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for all the great pics, if you can't be there, pictures are the next best thing. Especially when you will be there in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to lots of snow and even better trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saguenay Bill Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 A group of 4 just came in from La Malbaie and said 83 up to 383 and 383 to the HI was very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automatic Summerizing feature and 250miles per tank range!Gutz I'd say 250 is pushing it but an honest 180-190 is probably there and needing to bring way less oil on a saddlebag. Renegade 600 ETEC will be my spring order unless I can steal a used Renegade 600SDI come March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

600IQHO Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I will be coming to the area for the first time on Tuesday, Everbody on this forum seems to stay at the HI, before i found this site I booked a room at the Hotel Sagueneenee. Is this a good place to stay? It looks to be only a couple of miles down the road from the HI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
