  1. Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy your time with family.
  2. Waiting patiently to test out his work and recommendations.
  3. Chris is a great guy. Very knowledgeable.
  4. Jeff might need to go here. Turn the 21 into a 22.🤫
  5. Carry a spare Dess Key in my jacket. Needed it once. Also wanted to mention about the tools that are stored on the outside of the clutch cover. Always thought it was a bad idea, so I’ve kept them in the glovebox. Saw the evidence at a repair shop a month ago what happens when tool drops off the cover. The torsion spring adjustment tool feel off, bounced up into the primary clutch and you can imagine the damage. Just a heads up to all current Doo owners and new owners. You might want to keep the tools somewhere else.
  6. Congrats again Scott on the new sled. PM anytime.
  7. Congratulations on the new sled Scott. Really happy with my 21 of the same model. Will definitely be strange to see you on a Doo. Hopefully see you next season.
  8. Great seeing you, Mrs. TD and Frank also. Have a great summer. Can’t wait for your posts of the new 22’s.
  9. Great four days of riding. We were on every trail west of Moonbeam to Hearst. Great to ride with WD and the crew again. The miles of smiles and laughs sure makes up for what went on at the Super8 in Kap. Great to meet up with all the fellow OC members.
  10. Many members of our group had also stayed here before and had left trucks and trailers with no issues. Our group even got a call on Thursday evening from manager who was at home asking us to move trucks to offsite parking then at 9:00 Thursday night. She was told no way. Couple of us did move Friday morning, manager told us parking area had been plowed. Yea right plowed, she must have a different interpretation of plowed than the rest of us. Got back Saturday and parked vehicles in the exact same spots we were in Friday morning when we had moved. Manager checked two of us in for another 2 night stay. Bookings were totally screwed up. Told me we needed someone who knew what they were doing when calling in to book rooms and laughed. Told her well you were the one who did our bookings right here at the counter. All I got was oh, no apology. Should of walked but rest of group was already checked in. Rooms are definitely nice but Super8 Kapuskasing will never get any of my money again. Riding was great! Great laughs and a perfect way to end season.
  11. After today’s check in most definitely
  12. I can just imagine what your report is going to say.
  13. Ground floor view from Super8 Kap
  14. No speeding tickets for us the rest of the trip.
  15. Just like AC&YA says about flat spot. Tips will not stay. This is my 3rd sled with them. Always use loctite on set screw even from new install. Just have to heat screw up a bit to change tip.
  16. Stoney, I’m really loving this 900T. Lots of research and talks with TD before I jumped over to the 4 stroke side. No regrets after the first 1100 kms. The 1.5IR track is very comparable to the 1.25 with aftermarket studs I had on my 850. Everyone says you lose some top end but with the full pull across Couch last week I don’t see why you would want to go any faster. This sled is more predictable as to what it’s going to do in the corners. Could be the added weight in the front end and also the new suspension which is making it ride alot flatter out of the corners. The 850 could be twitchy out of the corners but that’s the way I had the suspension set and my riding style, not sure what it would be like with the new suspension. I’ve left the rear suspension at factory setting of less transfer. Skis are moved out to the widest setting, moved stock carbides to outside and 6” Woody Ace carbides down centre. Usually run Shaper Bars but trying Woodys version. I’ve got my rear suspension set on 3 for the torsion spring adjustment, that lets snow flap just touch snow which is norm with this new suspension according to what I’ve researched. Also original torsion springs from factory. I’m about 20 pounds lighter than you. Last 4 sleds have been XRS platforms. I like the shock adjustability, the wider running boards and the rack steering, comes in handy with the guys I usually ride with. Getting use to the throttle has been no issue and I run it in sport mode all the time expect for in and out of the trailer, where I use eco. Took the 4 year warranty option and paid extra for the track upgrade. Now to your question about which dealer to use. I’ve always used St.Onge. They don’t seem to be the most popular but they’ve always been great to me. Sorry for the long response. Hope this helps you decide.
  17. Totally agree with you both. My 18 Doo came with the 531 belt. Switched to the 571 as recommended by Doo. OEM belts aren’t cheap but they’re all I’ll use or recommend.
  18. Merry Christmas to everyone and have a better and safe 2021.
  19. I’ll be right beside you Fab. Properly distanced of course.

    Agree with everyone about the Forestel. Here’s pictures of a room
  21. I wear the Tekvest Freestyle model. I find it not as bulky as others but that’s just my opinion. They can be warm but the protection they offer definitely out ways that. Wearing them sure isn’t the norm by some of the looks I get when I take it off in restaurants. I’m a retired firefighter and have seen the injuries to people involved in the smallest of vehicle accidents. Sleds don’t offer the protection a car does, so all the protection I can get I’m in. Also always clip on the tether.
  22. X2. We missed the yellow area on the A out of Elk Lake by taking L161 and L162.
  23. Gobills that looks like the Pourvoirie du Barrage Gouin et Magnan.
