I talked to Patrick Dubreuilville Club President and Kirk Wawa club President on Sunday morning . Halfway is definitely not opening this year but D trail will be open weather permitting. Patrick is doing pretty well with the LUP signing but mostly crown land . Kirk said they still have lots to get signed yet . Both clubs are doing their best they each only have a handful active volunteers. We never discussed the Hornpayne motel opening it was just a short visit .

Leaves are changing the last few days

Did you happen to get a price? I see blue water has a ad for it I have plastic lattice in my trailer it has held up pretty good but my trailer is a 2018 and has been used and abused. Going to need to update trailers soon just looking options.

I know who he is and he has bought a new sled every year for probably 25 or 30 years I don’t think financing is a problem lol

So true . I’m glad I sold my sled in the spring . I talked to my dealer the other day he has a customer trying to sell his 24 XRS 850 big gauge smart shocks with 5000 miles the best offer he has had is 14000 . That’s a 10000 hit for one year .

I will be buying 2 Quebec permits and probably 2 Ontario permits

I ran regular studs for over 20 years never had a pull through but I always used doubles and use your head crossing roads and bare ground . In 2019 I switched to IR Im happy with IR track for the kind of riding I do pretty much all my riding is saddled bag trips it’s just a piece of mind not worrying about pull thoughts a 1000 Kms from the truck

I think any brand of 600 would fit the type of riding you plan on doing . I’ve been riding 850 renegades since 2019 sidewinders before that and Vipers before that . I’ve really enjoyed the 850 s but for this year I have a 900r coming hope I’m not making a mistake

The last 3 years I’ve bought 2 Quebec and Ontario passes last year I didn’t use the Ontario ones. This year I may have to forgo the Ontario ones . In the big scheme of things the passes are a small part of the deal I’ve put 400 dollars worth of gas and oil though the two sleds in one day before .

I’ve looked into it a bit more they have IQuad very similar to I moto niege . Most of the trails don’t open till may 15 so there’s not much showing up get .

Yes it currently can be . the group I watched had mostly big horn tires there just a 4 ply we have 8 ply tires you can still puncture them but you’re odds are better. I carry a spare and lots of tire plugs

I watched a You tube guy that has done this a couple times this is his route. Most of the group he is with are even older than me lol and it’s a fairly large group and they had a host of problems . Most of the tails are fairy good pace and there’s only 2 couples going I think it should be ok . I’ve rode Gaspe 4 times by sled but have never been there in the summer

Has anyone done the Gaspe loop by SXS just wondering what maps to use ? Planning on leaving end of July starting in Amqui . Tentative route so far . Amqui to Point a la croix - 219 km Point a la croix to New Carlisle - 245 km New Carlisle to Perce 183 km Perce to Murdochville 235 km Murdochville to Mount-Saint-Pierre 75 km Mont-Saint -Pierre to Cap Chat 149 km Cap Chat to Amqui 164 km

I keep the tax savings. My dealer charges me $200 per sled to run them through and the buyer pays $149 licensing fee plus his taxes

The dealer I normally deal with has no problem running a sled through them but he also hasn’t been taking trades . He doesn’t sell X3 s SXS so I bought from another dealer they would take my sled on trade at a ridiculous low price plus the new sled was 400 more and would not let me run my sled through them .

I’ve sold my last 10 sleds private but run them through the dealer to save on the tax it’s worked well so far but getting tougher to sell them . The one I sold this spring really surprised me only took one day to sell .

There a lot good information in this thread can’t really think of anything to add done this trip 4 times by sled but never in the summer . We are planning a trip for the end of July with our SXS this summer starting in Amqui but haven’t done much planning yet probably 7 days to do the loop . As far as safety I don’t really think there will be many issues in the summer .

I haven’t done it myself but I think it’s around 155 miles

I think you’re probably right it looked pretty dirty in the picture’s. I thought the decals looked odd but I wasn’t sure .

I seen this on marketplace looked like a ok deal
