The dream team. Ready to ride by 7:30, disappointed if we don't do at least 400km a day. All giggles on the 500+km days. We don't let a break down ruin our trip. Get it on a flat bed and off to the dealer, those Quebec mechanics get it done in a matter of hours. All shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.

TFC . Too Fast Cruiser

Saturday afternoon l am sitting on a park bench while my better half is wondering through the open market. A middle age women walks over and joking asks if l will keep an eye on her father . He sits down , this guy is old , native Indian for sure . He jesters toward a red squirrel ,says watch . Two black squirrels start to harass the red ,as the red drops the nut it was caring one of the black scope up the nut and both blacks run off. I asked the native guy do you think that because the squirrels are so aggressive this early about gathering nuts that we my get a long cold winter . Na , what it means is the black squirrels know how to get what they want with out having to work for it . He said be prepared for a harsh winter and be prepared to help others who can't prepare . Well l wasn't expecting those words of wisdom , this guy was awesome, best bench partner ever. He went on saying l liked shooting squirrels , you didn't have to hunt them , just had too look up. His daughter returns and asks what we were talking about ,with out missing a beet the old guys says nutin . He then told me his name was Henry and he was 94 years young .

No sir posted at 70 kph.

Next to impossible to run slow where we ride. No matter the trail conditions , wide trails ,excellent sight lines , wide sweeping curves .very few road crossings . So yeah the odd track does get sacrificed . As long as it happens on the last day , all you can do is smile and wave as the rest of the gang blows by you.

My mistake mine listed above is a 22 180 hp. Had to replace the track last spring , fuel pump replaced at 6000 km.

Cat RIDER I have a 21 Renegade 900 R 6500 km . Hadn't thought of selling , but might entertain the idea .

R. O. E. after 1 day, delete him .Someone better will come along, your time is to valuable .

Same here not many km , but someone has to do it.

No rain for the next week is great for pulling trail stakes and signs. Not going to track up the farm fields and cake the Ranger in mud . But l probably will .

l called around long before l needed to ship. The trailer had 3 golf carts and skid of B B Q s on board plus my chairs . So this trucker had a good arrangement for himself . Oh and the trailer didn't stink , however l was not going to eat off the floor .

I ship product out to Calgary on a livestock trailer . Trailer was going out empty cost 200 $.

Blackstar you are bang on . The groomer topic was briefly discussed at the last sled meeting . We are at the mercy of a few .

Agreed PLC , could have open Sat and Sun locally . Seen a few riders pass through , l gave them the 👍 at least someone is getting the benefit of mine and others effort to set up the dam trail

All the tracks are good until they aren't . Dealer in P.Q has seen many off these fails, him and his service manager took a quick glance ask to start the sled , took a look at the # of Km and replied that is un fortunate for you , warranty does not apply. I smiled and waved , said see ya next year.

Was Hornepayne the same town guys were going to the hospital buffet for lunch . I recall that being the topic of conversation awhile back . Thought how weird is that .

Read back a few posts .

V2 has a lot of seat time on his new Enduro and has an opinion on shock packages. He may chime in .

Right on Blackstar. Also trail conditions , frozen hard jagged ice going into corners to fast . Instead of the ice ripper track ripping up the ice , the ice is ripping up the track . Shorter lug less flex Hopefully the 1.25 track solves the problem cause my kid ain't slowing down .

My 1.5 ice ripper delaminated outside lugs ripped off. 6,400 km . 2022 Renegade 3 dealers in 2 provinces had the same explanation, and no warranty. Now have a 1.25 '' ice attack as recommended by Quebec dealer who is very hands on and knowledgeable in my opinion .

Strong Man wonder what the Farmers Almanac had predicted weather wise for this winter .For some reason l can't find my copy .

Final Answer. Thanks for the suggestions fellas.

No verdict yet need to do more hands on research . Visit to Royal and dealer are in the near future. I hope we don't need the trailer stretcher 😁

I run the stock bars locally . Need a good bar for the yearly pilgrimage too the promised land . Have used quili peace in the past, not finding a supplier close by so need to switch it up. Darting is not an issue . Thanks for the info.
