On the EL3 trail west of Elliot Lake.    

Where is that pic taken?

We did 8 one year, never again. 6 is our group on the annual saddle bag trip. 

Looks like bad PDI lastt year, then less than  good pre season owner inspection on the two Sidewinders. 1 sidewinder went into dealer at Hearst after coolant low again. Dealer confirmed small headgasket leak ! Not into engine, and started warranty claim, sled ok for rest of trip, just top up every 2nd day. Other SW was fine after full fill of anti freeze. 2nd sled to be pressure tested as a precaution.

I bought the family cottage from my parents over the winter and the list of things my wife says we "need" for it has chewed away at my new sled money probably for a year or 2.    Happy to have 4 years of warranty on my 26 850.      The nice thing about the 900Rs is that people have no issue buying a used one with 10,000kms on it.
