  1. Never realized l was competing in a extreme sport . That changes everything l better start stimulating with Red Bull or some Monsters trail side .
  2. Golf courses empty there bins daily or more often . All those empty cans you see at a warm up hut could be from a few hundred individuals .
  3. 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 .
  4. That would be a great day , now keep your feet on the ground , your ass on that sled seat .
  5. Yes indeed A True Once in a Lifetime Opportunity. Typical real-estate hype . Of course it is a Once in a Lifetime, after 6 months of ownership you would likely hang yourself . Not meant to offend anyone .
  6. Good eye V 2, that proves l do drive slow in the neighborhood . Yes the new truck does have a shiny front end so my new strategy when long term parking will be to remove the starter relay under the hood.
  7. 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 .
  8. The only time l was at 3 Bears a kid beat on me with a stick on our arrival . The place and water reeked of diesel . Thankfully the meal and booze eased the pain .
  9. Here is a little preview of the commercial that V2 and I were a part of on the day of the shoot. V2 and I supplied the sleds and our services as wranglers for the day.
  10. Has anyone heard any news on whether the Hotel in Matagami is being rebuilt? starting to think about planning trips!
  11. That is a pretty broad brush you are painting these young people with. I know quite a few young guys and gals that are passionate about snowmobiling and do volunteer their time when they can. As an older guy myself I have been involved with this sport for too many years, it seems that we do not welcome the younger generation into our clubs in a way that they want to help out and also have fun. I have 3 daughters, they all look forward to the first weekend of December where they can invite their friends to help volunteer with trail set up. We have Hot chili in the shop afterwards with a warm fire, it's all about the experience. If you make it enjoyable, welcoming and fun, the "young gals(and gals)" will return.
  12. My preferred demo day.

  13. This winter l noticed a new building going up between Harriston and Clifford, beside the Pioneer gas bar. Today a Polaris sign was hanging off the fence . Could this be a new home for POO ?
  14. l told the sales rep to surprise me . Just thrilled she called me , could not get the deposit down quick enough .
  15. The 2 stroke guys might be fearing the day those motors let go after a few thousand km ,and no warranty .
  16. Just back from Gaspe region have a pic or email on your phone confirming you did purchase a permit . Make sure you take the trail from La Cashe to Murdockville .
  17. Not sure how anyone can say they are the best , unless they have numerous dealings with all the dealers . Just saying. Sled guy 74 has Polaris blood .
  18. De Boars in the Elora area has served me well in the pass . Never heard anything negative , friends deal there as well .
  19. A few years back our group 4 of us came across a good sized tree blocking the trail . As we struggled to move it ,enough to get by , 2 other guys pull up behind us . They crack open the Red Bulls and watch . We get our sleds past and put the tree back across the trail . I know it was a prick move , but felt right at the time .
  20. Thanks 1049 stayed there a few years ago had so much fun that night could not remember much the next day.
  21. 1049 How was your stay at La Cache ? We will be there in 2 weeks . No surprises ?
  22. Got a couple to choose from , One guy has a 6 place, not sure l have enough truck .
