Drunk skidoo guy says what????

OK then.   I also have a 22 Indy 850 XC in my garage.    The 1.6 track sucks balls in just about all conditions.    I have had 2 sleds with it already.  

If you want studs go with a Ripsaw 1.25" track with 1.450 studs.   The 1.6 is not a great track.  

1996 Polaris XCR600SP will go down in history as the biggest POS I have ever owned.    Slow AF.   

I briefly owned a 2007 Cat F1000 and it was a big turd as well.

3-400

Thats a really big day up there.    The trails arent that fast.   If I do it again this year, I would plan my routes with 300kms max per day.   

I did a good chunk of it 2 years ago.  We started in Riviere Du Loop.   How many kms do you want to do in a day?   

They are already doing this.   My buddy had the OPP at his door 2x during his quarantine just "checking in".    

The entire Province will be closed by Monday for the duration of this lockdown.   This is going to start a domino effect.    The Northerners are already pissed with Southern people not following the travel restrictions and this will be the easiest way to keep people at home.

He's good. Chewing/eating normally and hardly any pain whatsoever. I, myself had a dentist appt Thursday and spoke to the dentist about it. He told me he would be in  excruciating pain if his jaw were broke or fractured. He said he likely pulled/tweaked some muscle at the joint and that is all. 

Thats good to hear.   My wife is an RN at an oral surgery practice and she said that you would definitely know if it was broken.      

You might want to call an oral surgeon and see if they can get him in for an x-ray.

Lot's of cans popping up for sale  on Kijiji.  Does this mean they will just get passed on to the next brapper?

Need a bounty on them, free burger at the club house when you turn in your cannon...

That would be a great idea for a dealership or parts house.    Bring in your old can and get a $20 gift card or something like that?

Just installed a gas one a few weeks ago.   Works great!  

It is far simpler just to ban aftermarket exhaust than it is to try and set/enforce a DB limit.    Who is going to properly train the officers to test for sound?   Sound testing is a bit of a science.   You have to take into consideration the atmospheric pressure, wind, rpms to test at and distance from machine to test.  

I can see everyone fighting their tickets and winning if the OPP went this route.

Where you headed

Amos 

I am going to Quebec on Thursday.   I have a pretty busy work week ahead of me so I loaded my sled and gear today.   

I sold my KTM dirt bike to a guy from Yellowknife a few years ago.   I crated it up and shipped it to him for $400 with Day and Ross Transport.   

I had no issues running 120 miles on my 2018 Pro X 800.   I cant see the 850 being any worse on fuel.   

TSC in Stratford still sells by the pound.

I was told that Birch Point was terminated due to warranty fraud.   

She makes 3x the money you do.   Somehow I am starting to think you got the better end of the deal.    .   You are a kept man.

You better be careful or she might kick you to the curb.   

Thats too bad to see another shop close up. 

Congrats Glenn! 

My long time Polaris dealer, Go Performance in Dorchester has decided to close the doors on May 31.    Todd was basically squeezed out by Polaris after they made completely unreasonable demands for sled orders and dealership upgrades.    I am disappointed to see him close as I have been dealing with him since 1998 but I dont blame him one bit after seeing the list of demands they made to him.  

Polaris is taking back all of his sled/atv inventory at the end of the month.   I know he is having some pretty massive parts/accessory sales coming up and I am trying to pass along the word as Polaris made him sign off that he cannot advertise a "going out of business" sale.    

Their phone number is (519)268-7533 if you are looking for anything in particular.   

Who writes stand alone sled insurance these days other than TD?   I am in the process of switching car insurers and I just found out that Economical will not cover my 2018 Pro X 800.   I have been with Unica for the last few years and they are quite cheap for the sled but Economical is over $1500 cheaper for the 3 cars we own and with more coverage.   Unica will not write my sled without the cars.  

TD is fine but anything over $15K comes with a $1500 deduct which kind of sucks.  

I gave my sled a major wash in the driveway today (+12c here).   Not sure if I will ride it again this season or not?  I would like to get out one more time but I am not counting on it.

Looking forward to getting my Africa Twin out for a ride soon.

Who builds the bike? Definitely looks Euro - Gasgas? 

The bike is a 2017 Sherco 450SEFR.   I am probably the only guy on this board who has actually ridden a Sherco.   I owned a 2016 300 SER 2 stroke and I got to ride the 450 SEFR for a weekend 2 yrs ago at the Calabogie Boogie Trail Ride.  The Sherco is a great bike and long term testing has proven it to be quite reliable.
