I have not talked to by brother about this yet, but I would love to head out east again later in Feb - maybe towards Gaspe or ride the North part of NB.

I was wondering the same thing! You left out the most important part

Making, or going to attempt to make reservations tomorrow or the day after for a trip in QC for the first week in Feb. We are meeting up with my brother who is in NB now so the mid point is around Shawinigan and head up around Lake Saint-Jean, through Mont-Valin over to St Lawrence and than back to Shawinigan. Originally planning to go to Chiboug, but with the no gas heading up the East side (thanks @PISTON LAKE CRUISER), that is no longer an option. Optimistic that all goes as planned. Otherwise, cannot wait to get out somewhat locally first if possible and would like to go further North (ON) as well.

Amen brother!

Well, lets not talked about the 2022 - this is a year for all the manufactures as one that has not gone too well.

I think with a Doo you can get a dess key programmed so it detunes the sled as well

I have not had issues to date either - knock on wood. But I have been with people that have and there was no fixing it trailside so a tow was in order. Truthfully, I actually do not use my reverse much, backing out of the trailer & maybe parking the sled at hotel or restaurant, but usually just slide the rear or ski around by hand.....might be a harder task with a 4s and another year older....

I think the discussion is surrounding the general thoughts of accidents and not so much specific to this one or making assumption about the unknown regarding the details of it. Each year there is usually same thoughts and discussions about these - and hand signals too actually.

There were plenty of that last year - more than I have experienced to date and many of riders appeared to not be younger ones, albeit hard to tell on a corner where a sled is on the wrong side coming straight at you with a helmet on while I am trying to maneuver out of the way to avoid collision. Last year was a year that I really liked getting out early and back at the truck by noon with 100miles on the odometer when the trails really picked up.

The 850 would have been engine reverse with the electronic reverse button. I have had all three over the years - manual handle reverse, electronic reverse with a button using an actuator and the engine reverse.....plus again now the electronic reverse with an actuator on the 900T. The 2022 900T looks like they use a wiper motor as the actuator - if it fails, looks like you remove linkage to make it manual in a pinch.

I can’t compare obviously, but the throttle and response seem very nice.

Lol, I never even noticed that 😜

Agreed x100 !

Actually looks like winter 👍

Even at 100 for a new rider is much…. add a +1 on the back, not good at all with assuming minimal experience, icy corners, etc,… But sledding is a risky activity no matter age, experience, conditions, etc…

The report is confusing, I’m thinking the male passenger was okay based on minor injuries yet driver had critical injuries….might have typed he instead of she in error. Regardless though, very unfortunate.

Very nice - I am sure a happy day!

Very nice Blake! Curious, why did you decide on the 850 vs. 4 stroke? And I see you have the 1+1 seat installed - dealer happen to have any more of those lying around

Keep us all safe from one another for sure...... The need for these in Southern ON really makes you scratch your head - but the budgets for the police and fire tend to have no boundaries.

what you can sell for does not always match the book value. I would leave it personally - when is the last time you wrote off a sled or it was stolen?

There are so many things in life right now that are affected by Covid, whether you agree with it or not. It is hard to side step the obvious or ignore the elephant in the room.

About a month after me….Same with delivery

Curious, when did you order yours? Mine is the same sled, so wondering.

Do you not still have one of your old sleds?
