  1. Reading for me is no glasses   but you don't want me to do anything else without glasses  lol   I got a Mission for this year as well and will be interested on how it works for me    I have the BV2 and before that the Modulars    I got onto those pretty quick without fogging   I hope the same for the Mission

    I really liked mine last year, worked great, adjustable sun peak is extremely useful and I did not use the visor much at all since the peak worked so good.

    One issue I had was the seal froze on me once causing an air leak, but that was caused by going from very cold, to warm up shack and back to cold.....

     

    There is mention above of having mask stuck to your face, I am not sure that is an accurate statement (IMO) - there is a curtain that rests on your nose but nothing that is resting on your face like the older Doo modular helmet that has a mask, which definitely is secured to your face.

    I only used the electric visor once during some heavy snow, otherwise, wireless, just the way I prefer.

    Good luck with yours, I hope it treats you well.

    Do you wear glasses ?

    The thing that got me was the way the fella with a broken sled was treated, the interaction with the very people that support the business. Couple that with inconstant price for fuel, then putting a minimum charge for fuel. There is allot more to the scenario, including the way the Polar Bear Riders where treated. In short, they are not the type of people that are good for the sport. 

    There also was an issue with not having a place for the groomer operator to stay after they said they would have it for them.

    A friend of my son, he went to go to Grand Rapids to visit his twin sister in school a few weeks ago.  Got to the Bluewater in Sarnia, and had to turn around cause they wouldnt let him unvaccinated in.

    Yup we know a fellow that was heading south to visit his son and when they scanned his passport then they asked him his vacs status.  He declined to answer and was turned back.

    No personal experience, but hearing from people that cross, it is very much hit or miss.

    Cannot believe I am saying this, but it is not a entering Canada issue, it is a entering US issue - THANK YOU to the Freeeeedom Convoy!!!!!

    We drove to Florida in March and just a couple weeks ago. Gave our passports and answered the regular questions ( nothing about vacs ) and were on our way  never an issue

    I crossed at Sault Ste. Marie the other day and went to Ohio and back. No problems either way and no mention of Covid either way

    Quick question.  Did you ever do the arrive Can app ?  And link it to your passport ?

    It is a good loop up and back to the canyon , nice to get off the A trail on the weekends. Gas price yeah it's up there , but you can pay 6 bills for a liter of water at some locations. As for the staffs attitude doesn't bother me if the guy's is an A hole . Only interact with them for a few minutes then moving on . Not like I'm planning to buy real-estate and move in next door.   Just my 10 cents .

    10 cents.  Wow are you generous LoL 

  8. Now that I look a bit closer  maybe there was no fence  :icon_lolsign:    and I kinda remember a building to the left of the pump   I remember our leader went over there first and no one was there    I thought he said it was bunks for the workers     anyway after a couple rounds behind the pump he found the attendant

    Using the ITG, it is 260kms from Chapleau to Wawa staying on the trail.    

     

    You will need a full Linq can to do that route.    I dont know any sleds other than 900ACE NA that can get that range?

    and it kinda sucks the G4 has 36 litre tank  and the XS had 40 litre    Oh well first world problems  :icon_lolsign:

    Surprised no updates or feedback on the show?

     

    I did see a post elsewhere on here about new Cats and I think Royal having a small presence there. 
     

    We went Fri    22 bucks to get in   we had a good time   ran into a friend here and there    spent a bit of time at the Igrips booth   Factory Rec was selling but shipped everything to you  Aberfoyle  Arctic Cat  had a large booth   Mission helmets sold super quick   Quebec had 3 booths    no one from Gaspe or Lac St Jean areas    Buddy got his map updates for his GPS  and a bite harder sharpening stone    a couple of the guys got new Bergstrom carbides   if something looked interesting we stopped and looked   ATVs  sleds  classics  trailers  groomers    we got all our maps      we did talk with D13 and they advised us that Half Way Haven will not open this year     they have made adjustments to all the grooming needed    overall was well worth attending    The day flew by   was 730 before we knew it

  11. At our club meeting last night we talked about this a bit     the guys think there isn't enough inventory to stock the show and the stores    Apparently Factory Rec will be selling at the show but you take it home   They ship it to you  ????   That's what one guy said last night

    I make a point out of parking beside  the guy with the shiny new truck and trailer.  Wrap a rusty chain trough the rims for appearance sake , leave the trailer unlocked . Take a pic for memory purpose,  Hit the trail and forget about it .

    Not sure but I thought I saw your work cap on a shiny new truck the other day 🤣:lmao:

    It is the Infiniti QX80

    Nice. Lots of power and AWD probably. My one buddy used a VW SUV  diesel to pull the same trailer.  And trailer has brakes too probably
