I remember our last stay there mid 90’s I think. After supper, I was asked if I wanted a post dinner drink and I responded “yes”, a rusty nail please. After some time passed, the waiter came back and asked how to make a rusty nail and I gave him the products and suggested quantities. After a while, he came back to the table carrying a bottle of scotch, a bottle of drambuie and a glass and said, “ do you mind mixing it yourself ?” Graciously, I agreed and I don’t remember a lot of the rest of that night.

My parents used to take us there sledding in the early 80's before we had a place of our own. We'd drag the two John Deere's up there and ride a few days each winter. Good times! I had a t-shirt from there about Jackalope's - would wear it to school and people were so confused Anyway, was a great place and great area for us for many years, brings back some great memories.

I have 5 4 lire jugs of XPS full synthetic if anyone needs it. I will give good OC discount. Apparently I have gone full senior citizen and just realized i dont need them

remember when this place was a real hot spot for sledders back in the 80s and 90s looks a little run down these days For sale: 2159 PICKEREL/JACK LAKE Road, Burk's Falls, Ontario P0A1C0 - 40400592 | REALTOR.ca

Go ahead just buy Quebec permit. That ensure your small town gets snowed in for days like 80’s.

The big reason I want a smaller stackable caddy (don’t care if it’s oil or gas) is to save weight and bulk. 16l can be fit into the stackable fuel caddy plus the 4l of oil stacked on it in the small caddy and that adds up to about 45 lbs of extra weight at the rear (including the caddy weights) plus your gear. Not to mention the extra size of the stacked cans which is applicable if you are riding off trial. if they made the small caddy stackable that would be enough gas and oil but only half the weight and 2/3 of the height/size. hope they are working on it!

$440 to buy one early this year. Ouch. Has anyone heard what the OFSC is talking about for next season?

Typically around $40 yes. Buy the permit with insurance. Then go on the insurers website and claim your refunds. Cheque will arrive in a months time. You get it all back this way. If you select no insurance when buying they charge an admin fee of like $20. So you lose half the refund.

You can carry 4 quarts of oil under the seat of the Matryx, the other thing we’ve done on saddlebag trips when needing to carry more than that is put a gallon of oil in a knapsack and fasten it between the gas caddy and a linq bag behind it. We are able to run the straps around the linq back then use Rox straps to tighten it all down. I’ll see if I can find a pic.

That happen once you get it stuck 🤣. That’s when you really miss two stroke.

I really wanted to like it, but it was noticeably heavier than my 850 and the throttle still sucks albeit less than the old style ITC. We were within 1 litre every fill up with my 850 actually using less than the 900 a few times. The 900R has longer legs on the lake than my 850 for sure. He pulls away pretty easily at 160km/h speeds.

I havent rode one yet. But i know what it will ride like. Im fully expecting to like the power hate the weight. Frankly I need to slow down in the trails anyway. Being old and fat.............lol

Rode my buddies 900R X for a day this year. Nice sled but not for me.

I’m aware of the current options - I was saying if they came out with a modified / reinforced small 1 gallon oil caddy that you “could” stack another linq on top of - I would do a 1 gallon caddy on top of it. don’t need 4 gallons of oil - 4 l (1 gallon) of oil plus a couple 1 l bottles under the seat will get two sleds for a couple day 1200km tour is all I need.

You need to pay close attention to what LinQ accessories you buy - some of them are designed so you cannot stack other accessories on top, I assume so you do not overload the tunnel seeing as liquid is likely the heaviest thing straped to the rear. I have the 4 gallon gas container, that can hold oil too if you wish, that allows me to strap a bag to the top as well. There is a chart that gives you what options you have that can or cannot be stacked.

100% agree. You would think the small oil/gas caddies could be re enforced to support another linq on top of it. I would do a 1gallon oil caddy and 1gallon gas caddy on top of each other.

Getting off topic, but I sure wish that BRP would make a STACKABLE oil caddy that was about 4-6L. I would love to be able to carry a 4L oil can that I could put a bag on top of.

Good deal!

Now that's even dumber. Guess when you can't design the main tank to not blow up causing recalls it would add up to not want to sell aux tanks. Thanks for sharing. Interesting info.

I read somewhere that Polaris Legal Dept wants nothing to do with those gas cans.

Check fb marketplace I see one for sale when I bought mine I waited till the fall and bought them from Energy Powersports

I really don't think that "common" sense is going to git'chew too far these days. Have you talked to many average folk lately? .

I know a contractor won’t give any new guy a shovel or wheel barrow, in leu of him making an wsib claim.

Sure - wasn’t my point though (about being able to fly, drive, etc…) Just that there was zero checks, asks, etc…entering the US pertaining to the clot shot (lol - thanks Aaron). This was for me and the other 10 guys heading over in our group, as well anyone else I saw in the line ups at Pearson. Seeing ArcticCrusher post may explain why though the update/change. A friend who flew a couple months ago however did have an issue, no clot shot, no fly from Pearson, denied….drove to buffalo and flew from there instead…lol

Its around that much. I never got mine back last year. Called 2-3x and they said that it was claimed but I never got the cheque.
