You missed his point. He was referring to my 'New Years resolution'. LOL

No doubt! A couple of posters on Faceplant & my friend who took the 1st pic (lived in Timmins in the 90s) all said it's not forgiving as there are no shoulders if you get off the pavement or have to pull off. Driving up to visit was a long boring drive especially after you passed Cartier. Leave work @ 11 AM, hit the bank. Grab a bite and gas in Evilland then roll into Timmins after dark.

My New Years resolution?

Saw a load of Sea-doos north of Ptbo today...

I've never driven it in the winter. I did run it southbound 1 fall & came a float w/ a excavator on it in the east ditch between 101 & T-C-P Lake. Too much speed on a downhill curve. A couple of years ago there was some construction near Gogama to reduce 2 curves.

On 144 near Gogama today as well @irREVerent I could say something but I'll be nice for a change...

This morning in Timmins

I think mine was built in August (according to the info from the spring). It was shipped to the dealer in September/

Those will be the last models off the line I think in '94 the '95 MY Mach Zs & MXZx 440s were the last to show up @ the dealers. I know I was getting worried when my 440 was going to arrive. Does BRP provide the dealers w/ a production schedule? I know when I ordered my '01 or '04, they had the schedule in their hands.

I think the peak permit sales that I recall seeing was 120,000 (in the 90s?). I think in recent years it's hovered around 90,000.

I do recall in the mags a few years ago it was all very vague. All they published were percentages.

I'm sure if you would contact the club, they should let you know. At our meetings (and there are non-executive members present) that info is released.

My '81 w/ a VM28 has a primer.

I know of 1 seasonal business that started to lessen the Facebook activity so that their 'absence' wouldn't be noticed during the offseason.

Welcome to OC. The year we did the Tracks to Trails ride (2005?) 3 riders from the Ft Wayne area unloaded @ D'ville. I think their plan was a day of riding in the area & then 2 days to ride back to the Soo.

No problem! As soon as I saw your track end @ HH, I knew that was the difference.

I see. Their pride 'hurt' because someone passed them?

My distance is from Wawa to Chapleau, just putting it out there for someone thinking of doing it w/o the gas stop @ HH.

What would that be to them if you were 'legal'?

Checking my GPS tracks from our Great Big Loop trip of 2020, the distance from the Esso truck stop on 17 @ Wawa to the Esso in Chapleau (not cutting thru @ Moose Horn Lodge) is 140 miles.

Yes, 2 pumps, leave the primer out to give it 1 more squirt when it started & you were good to go. If these guys were the self-proclaimed 'experts', it shouldn't have been all that difficult...

Plus the businesses in Wawa that want sledders passing thru.

Black Creek has been cut off from Chapleau for a few years now, so this is a completely different issue.

Correct. C101F was extended to TOP D (becoming C101D) when TOP F was more or less closed north & south of Chapleau.
