Looks like my riders are having trouble making this ride with me! Looking for 1-3 hardcore saddlebag riders to join me for a 1500-2000 mile tour around ontario! Thinking of starting around st.mary's or listowell and heading towards north bay or anywhere you may like to go. the destinations are flexible and open to suggestion!We could even dump into Quebec if you want!
You must have a top condition sled preferably under 4000 miles,all serviced and good to go.We would be riding 200-250 miles per day. You must have the ontario trail permit on your sled. No newbies,experienced riders only. I keep a fast pace but you must drive with the mindset that the truck{support vehicle} will become farther away each day so safety and defensive driving is necessary!So anyone want to do a big superloop out there!!!!!! This trip could be shortened up if need be.

I gather no Rotax power sleds allowed

Anyway sounds like a fun trip

Good luck and take some pics

i'd be more worried about your sleds. i remember you holding our trip up with your sleds

ROTAX SLEDS ARE O.K.,AS LONG AS THE MILES ARE LOW. MAIDSTONE,ACT DRIVE WILL NOT BREAK LIKE THE OLD CHAIN REVERSE OF YESTERYEAR!ARE YOU RETIRED FROM SLEDDING?

hey the first year of the diamond drive was crap :P i remember 500 miles on my budies 04 ZR and it shredded until they came out with teh update.. And i think the chain case is faster top end than the diamond drive, but thats just me! im also a polaris guy so what do i know haha

Gee, I wondering what is your idea of a NEWBIE. 200 miles is the average ride when I go out.

There is a huge difference between 200 miles "when you go out" & 200+ miles for 7 days straight!!!!

Ya. Bin ther,done that!

Not saying you haven't....

I can see why your standards for riding partners would be so high, those Jags are heavy to tow from what I hear and see

Almost 3900 miles and all that broke was the drive belt on mine. I see from these pics that these are the early builds! I have the final production model and it runs solid! yes there was problems with the 04 zr900 act drive but i have seen a 05 firecat with 10000 miles on,without a hiccup!

Newbie is refering to someone new to snowmobiling and hase'nt saddlebagged before
!

Which dates are you planning to go!!! '07 F1 and 05 Sabercat 600 LX EFI.......interested but depends on the dates...

this saturday thru next sunday,march 3-march 11!

TV BRIAN ARE YOU UP FOR IT!

I agree with you, though once the update came out in 04 they were fine, just the first little bit was rough . Anyways hope you have a good trip!

Oh I'M UP FOR IT..... BUt....... I'm already on a short trip until monday!!! Then I have a huge client project that I have to wrap up (3-4 days work) before I would be able to jet out anywhere...

lacat, i'll see if i can get my sled ready, its a 79 but runs good

SORRY MAIDSTONE,ONLY SLEDS MADE IN THIS CENTURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds fun, but I learned my lesson years ago, never again will I try to tour with cats. I like to spend my time riding, not towing or looking for dealers, or waiting on the trailside while people jimmyrig their sleds. To each their own, but that is not for me.

he has been riding since 2yrs old i guess he told you lacat

So your saying you would'nt let me come, if i brought my 95 mxz 440 which has 16000 km's ? I think you need to be a little more flexible, then maybe you'll have a bunch more riders.

Better watch out you might be riding on dirt.

You might want to bring an extra set of sliders with you.

Have fun!!

Cheers!

Just went from Sudbury, to timmins, kap and Cockrin 750miles in 3days......conditions were AMAZING TONSSSSSSSSS of snow just north of Sudbury (wannapitee lake) to Timmins, snow was coming over the hood of our sleds.......

burnt 6.5 litres of oil, lots of gas, one belt and 4 boggie wheels

I toured with a 03 rev in 04, towed him to the skidoo dealer for a new clutch,then 5 days later towed him back to the same dealer for gas! your cat riders didn't take good care of their sleds!

Rafe19,look me up when you get a new sled and go finish high school first!

So much for looking for any hardcore riders! You guys just ride your computer keyboards hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What a bunch of pussies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too far south to make the timetable this year. Too much work to walk away.

I'LL TOW TO YOU AND LET'S TEAR UP QUEBEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

vince, how come your not going with him?

It's a long story business related, I haven't done one tour this winter But it's been a real blessing this winter that there has been snow close to home and I have been able to get several day trips in
I am planning on getting one four day UP tour in, starting the 14th or 21st, I'm nervous about waitng till the 21st.

I guess i'll see you next winter then lol. You may want to get a 1000 skidoo if you wanna keep up. There's no need to get the 1000 cat because we all know how realiable those are lol.

You know it is always a piss off when you can't make a perfectily good tour. I can't get away this week! I have to be in Red Deer to fire a shit manager and hire a new one. By the time I get back to Ottawa we will be in melt down. I should have fired his ass last time out!!! I lost a week of riding then too. I know what it is like to have a NEW CAT(is there any other kind?) and riding partners who can't make the tour.
For what it's worth, and you will tow, next season look me up and i will give you a guided tour of Eastern Ontario with all the bells and whistles. We may not live in the north but our trail system is excellent and well groomed with hotels and pit stops who cater to the sledder in every town. i would love to ride a week and have to change my oil when we got back.
If you do get to tour, tell us about it. Reading it would at least be some small compromise for me. I'll say GOOD DAY to the Alberta riders for you.

Off to the timmins area on tuesday ,will ride into quebec and the top of ont. with my crosscanada partner jake. back on monday!

get going

You and ur ''life'' partner are going together ? Sounds gay lol haha.

Give it all you got!!! Let me know how the ride was. I will be online from the WILD ROSE country.

DIP SHIT!

^ haha settle down there lad. Im only messin around.

it does sound Ray

rafe 19,you don't have the balls to ride out of dist#9!!!!!!!!

All went well,left new liskeard to valdor to amos to rolayn noranda to kirk lake to timmins to smoth rock to cocrane to kirk lake back to new lisk!!! both sleds ran perfect and the trails were inf**kincredible!!!!

lacat any pics??


and how where the Rotax's

Since you were just there, can you update me on the gas situation. Was there premium fuel available anywhere on your trip?

gas was plentiful,all flavours in the major towns! Saw 2 broken down rotax sleds on sunday from kirk lake to new lisk!!!!!

Lacat i'll meet u anywhere in dist 9 and i'll show you how to ride. Should i bring a bunch of tools tho ? Where prolly going to be fixing your sled a lot.

lacat i heard you broke down on the trip

haha i heard the same thing.

lacat i heard those z-1 don't handle to good?how many times did you put in the trees last trip?
