  1. Try the Comfort Inn in Cornwall.......mid August I paid $341.00 plus tax because it was the last room in town.   Filthy carpets and the patio doors had to be lifted out of the tracks to slide open because the mechanism was broken.

     

    Stayed in Quebec this summer, it had so many add on taxes....the room was $115.00 with tax and no extras it was $159.00 total

     

    I realize all these places have been hard hit from Covid and perhaps are trying to make up for lost revenue, but its getting too expensive between food cost, fuel cost, and accommodations....

  3. https://www.gsocta.ca

     

    Just saw this on FB....The Ontario Organized Snowmobilers Charitable Corporation Catch the ACE.

     

    It appears to have the full support of the OFSC, for example if you click on the Privacy Policy link it takes you to the OFSC website.

     

    Is this legit or a scam......I thought clubs couldn't run 50/50 draws or Catch the Ace type lotteries.    I realize this isn't a snowmobile club, but the OFSC is ok with it?

  4. I'm hearing the police won't go to a tagged item if its on private property.....no search warrant.

     

    Video evidence is no good for the police either.    You need positive identification (face) and they must show that person doing stealing or vandalizing. 

     

    This is depressing to discuss......

  5. thanks for all the suggestions.

     

    I had thought of running a chain and padlock through the wheel rim to the frame, but after seeing and hearing how these guys operate they would not hesitate pulling a trail down the road with one wheel not turning.........they don't care.

     

    My thoughts with the wheel chock type of lock is that if they didn't bother to remove it the wheel would hop as it rotated making a more difficult pull.

  6. Never had an issue with Royal and I've returned items via Canada Post and in person.   I find their pricing competitive, and have a good selection for both motorcycling and snowmobiling.  Calling customer service they've always got back to me if there couldn't give me an answer immediately.   There are four online places I deal with regularly; Royal Distributing, GP Bikes, Dual Sport Plus and Fort Nine.   I do comparison shopping and go with who has stock and best pricing.

     

    I need some motorcycle stuff from F9 and added the XPT skis to that order.   $490.00 for Red coloured XPT skis,  Royal was $519.00 and GP Bikes was $548.00.

     

    GP just had a no HST sale, but that was only $6.00 cheaper than F9.    I was going to wait for Royal to have another no HST sale, but thought there might be a price increase before that happens as GP is charging more and ORPS Parts has the same price, along with the weaker Cdn dollar v/s the Greenback.

     

    Now to decide whether to go with Bergstrom Triple Points or regular Woody's 6"

  7. I’ve decided to buy a pair of C&A XPT skis and presently shopping around for the best price.  
     

     C&A ever have a booth at the Show?   Or have there been deals to be had by the various retailers?

     

    just wondering if I should hold off my purchase until then?

     

    thanks

  8. Never got further west than Moonbeam.   Some bare spots but minimal.  Around Remi Lake was great and minimal traffic.  In fact all the branch trails were good, it was mainly the A trail that had the bare areas.

     

     Make sure you have scratchers for the morning, saw one blown up 850 Doo.   I kept my scratchers down the entire time, 1,100+kms.   Did manage to hook one while crossing a rail track and pulled it straight.

  9. Abitibi cannon run and the hills are still good.  Where the road sections are bare you can run between the hydro towers 

     

    Did Iraquois falls to Timmins to Calhoon’s fire tower and back.    The only bad areas bare roads IQ and T

     

    Tomorrow is Hearst way
