Jamiepenney Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 Been lurking this page for a while. And have decided to run from goose bay Labrador to st Augustine. And then west to sept isle where I’ll the head north back to Labrador city. Looking for information on accommodations and fuel stations along the Quebec shore to add to my gps and contact. For sure there will be more questions. Right now there’s my self and a good riding buddy both with 1200 expys planning to do the ride. Maybe I’ll run into some of you on here during the ride. Quote

Jamiepenney Posted October 3, 2018 Author Report Posted October 3, 2018 This is our set up. Both sleds have moderate upgrades. Kyb piggy back shocks. Some additional lighting. Mostly practical things such as brackets for snow shoes axes and whatever else. MrGutz, PLAYHARD and Phil 1 2 1 Quote

Yamahas have nothing on Polarises, or are they Polari ,in fuel economy. Now weight.... Skidoos on the other hand weigh nothing and actually produce green power!!

Trailblazer Posted October 26, 2018 Report Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Yup, experienced it first hand last March. Awesome trip, awesome scenery and awesome people but do not forget where you are and always have a plan B in a pinch, the coast can bite your ass. Lots a gremlins out there. Love that video, watched it a few times last winter before experiencing the real thing. Edited October 26, 2018 by Trailblazer Rodmax and GT Rider 2 Quote
GT Rider Posted October 26, 2018 Report Posted October 26, 2018 I was thinking about your trip while looking at the scenery. Thanks for real time posting it was fun to follow along with you guys. Quote
