And next week is above zero every day for SW Ontario. FFS

Let me know how the conditions are.

Cant go tomorrow but I have a pass for Sunday

Those 800HOs have been very reliable. That being said, the only issue that I have heard about is the very rare one having crank bearing issues. My dealer (Go Performance in Dorchester) has sold 50+ 800 HOs and 2 have blown up. 1 was a cold seize and the other was a crank bearing. Todd was telling me he has a customer who has 10000 miles on his 2015 800 HO and they tore it down to do a top end as preventative maintenance and it was still completely in spec. They did put pistons in it while it was apart but they certainly arent like the 2011-2012s that needed a top end every 2000 miles.

Thats ok. Dont believe me. No hard feelings.

You are right, I dont ride a Doo sled, but I just ordered 2 new Seadoos so I am not that anti-BRP He asked me not to post it so I wont. He doesnt need any more drama or paranoia with these things as his phone is ringing off the hook with people asking if they are having issues with them and he still has lots of unsold 850s on the floor.

I am not posting his shops name as he will be pissed off but it is one of the bigger BRP stores in Ontario. 1 just just came in on Friday so they haven't torn into it yet, but the one from last week was crank related.

I have a friend who works at a well known Ontario Ski-Doo dealership and he told me a few days ago that he has had 2 850s grenade already. 1 had less than 100kms on it.

Finally got to ride it today.

Yup. Glenns Pro-S LE and my Pro-X (taller) would run side by side til 85 mph and then he would start to pull away. Over 100mph on the speedo his sled was quite a bit faster. That being said, my Pro-X was WAY better in the bumps with the stiffer suspension. I am looking forward to lining my SBA and his Pro-S up and seeing what the difference will be.

I love the red. Wish I went that way instead of triple black.

Nice. I ordered the same sled in triple black and I kind of wish I went with the red.

My buddy works at Multimatic building those GTs and he said they are having so many problems with them it would blow your mind. He said the car is so far over budget Ford says they will lose money on every one of them even at $400K a piece.

I am pretty sure BRP got a tax break from the Quebec Govt a few years ago but it wasnt a huge handout like Bombardier always asks for.

I sell houses.
