Saguenay Bill Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 We had lunch at Scooby Raid today. The groomer from Mont Valin was there for the weekend dog races. I call this thing M O A G Mother Of All Groomers. I guess for $260,000 it ought to be. Here are some pics of it.A few more of M O A G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Now that is a nice Groomer!! It looks like it is new. Did they get it this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Now that is a nice Groomer!! It looks like it is new. Did they get it this season? It was new last year. They told me it will go 1/2 again as fast as the BR 400 and use 1/2 the fuel. You should see it take off from a dead stop, with the drag hooked to it. When I saw it do that I could not believe it. I've tried twice this year to get pictures of it while it was grooming. By the time I get my camera out, it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 This morning at breakfast mikerider saw a guy who he had seen about 2-3 weeks ago. This was the fellow who was riding a 09 ETek. We talked to him for several minutes this morning before he left. He has ridden it 3,600 miles, 6,000 km, so far. He is getting about 30 MPCAG and siad he is getting 500 miles per qt of oil. When he started it, no smoke and it purred like a 4 stroke. Some pics of it. I believe someone, thing it was Midrange, posted about seeing this fellow somewhere in the last several weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saguenay Bill Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 While we were at Scooby Raid this couple came in for lunch. I met them 8 years ago and see them every winter at least a couple of times. They told me they rode the Gaspe a couple of weeks ago and put on 1600 miles.

Saguenay Bill Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Whats the conversion factor on that gas mileage?Looks like a nice option for next year........ About 24 MPUSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowCrazed Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 About 24 MPUSG. We've been riding our dealer's demo all week and averaging 24 US MPG/500 ~ 550 miles per quart of oil. There is a special e-tec oil and the Doo recommends 91 octane. No electric start for the mid season release but starts one pull every time. TNT package is not for high mile rides. It would be a winner in the Adrenaline or GSX packages. My SDI ran away from it going across the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornbinder Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 JohnW, SAScost, and me made it home safe and sound. We left at 1:00 a.m. and was in Woodstock CT by 11 o'clock.

Boomer Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Would anyone be able to comment on the current snow conditions in Jonquiere. I am coming to ride in early March but had heard recently that present conditions are not good. In January we were at the HI in Saguenay and had great conditions and were able to ride from Hotel to Mt Valin. Can you still ride from hotel to Mt Valin? Is there any snow in the forecast? Thanks for any information you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Bill rides out of the HI everyday, I haven't heard him complain yet this year.... but i'm sure he will fill you in when he can. Gutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSE800 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I just arrived at the HI, and it looks to me there is plenty of snow, as Mr Gutz say's, Bill will fill you in. The plan for tomorow is to ride around Lac-St Jean. :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
