smclelan Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 The new sled is sitting almost ready to go in the garage, only wheels to mount on the skis left. The spare bedroom upstairs has clothes, helmets, boots, gloves, GPS, etc spread out everywhere. Getting prepared to leave with little notice. I don't think I am alone, lots of my sled buddies are also waiting anxiously!! Quebecriders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 This week I emailed my dealer to get the sled out of storage and gave a list of things to check over. I also got my state registration renewed and for the first time ever did my Quebec Trail Pass on line. Got my insurance bill and paid that. Only thing left to do is pick my date to head north, first Sunday in January or second Sunday. I suppose the vin rouge will be better if I give it an extra week to age. mike dooright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSX800 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Do a couple components each day on the new 2020 Renegade.Today HyGear dual rate springs and the High Beam LEDs. Tomorrow, glovebox extension, GPS, and tunnel scratchers. Quebec Pass should be arriving any day. Trailer is greased, new brakes installed, registered, and inspected. My wife’s 900 Enduro and Daughters 600 ACE were put away ready to go. A little closer each day. A few more enjoyable hours to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a semi rigid liner inside so keeps its shape, flat on the bottom so it sits well stacked on top of other things. Strapped on with set of ROK Straps and travels very well. Use on my sled in the winter and Spyder in the summer.

Fozzy Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I still have a bit of work to do. Not buying a Qc trail pass this year as I will only do a couple of rides in Le belle Provence. I enjoyed riding in NY last year and will be doing it again this year along with Ontario of course. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using Overboard waterproof boating backpacks as my primary sled (and beach) gear for several years. That bag Fuse posted looks good too.

Also which tunes-mods are you doing 🙂 I’m familiar with the Linq system but did not compare interior cubic space between the two. I’m thinking most if not all of my emergency gear will fit into the Powder Keg top box & always remain on the sled. No tuning or mods will be done. I’m a stock guy who values reliability over peak performance. There’s plenty of HP with that triple 998 Turbo!
