Viperules700 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Timmins trails are still good. Town trail is getting worn but was still ok. Here is a pic just outside of Timmins this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Way to go, VR 700 Looks like trail snow base is hanging in. You had so many sunny days! Great pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The past month has been great for riding. I guess Tues' would've been your coldest start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge on a11c was bad today 30 km's south of Timmins. 900 mileage keeps getting better as miles roll on. Was equal to etec this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sun every single day. We really lucked out and doing south portion first was right move. Highway bridges and ploughed areas on trails will be bad now, no doubt.

On our return leg, we followed the sled tracks across the Nat River where others had ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four strokes seem to get better as milles pile on for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 2 600SDIs (ZX & REV chassis) & if I was to dig thru my Northern Blastoff reports, I'm pretty sure I'd find they got maybe 1 or 2 mpg more than the 900 (as it stands right now). Riding style would've been similar, maybe just a touch slower on the straightaways & a more 'mixed' type of riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something i need to look into as the trail i take up north is getting groomed less and less, resulting in me riding more and more road to get to the trails and the club is considering removing the trail completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what I had: http://www.snowmobile.com/classifieds/ski-doo/used-2004-ski-doo-legend-gt-se-600-sdi-SN15313017CFD.html Mine had the 1 up seat. I ordered it black & had the dealer strip the graphics & install the MXZ 550F graphics: Stopped @ the TOP C & C106A intersection on the way from Gowganda to Timmins in '05.
