 It's located halfway between Montreal and Sorel on the richelieu river, between the village of Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu and Saint-Antoine-sur-richelieu. Did you know that in the old days there was even a ice bridge for the train between Montreal and the south-shore.....cold, cold time!

  I have driven a school bus across a ice bridge in the Red River area, but not around Montreal. Which area is that ?

I spent the summer of 76 in Montreal...lol......

Some ice on the river left? Don't worry. Near my house there is an ice bridge to cross the river wich is about half a mile long. to take a shortcut of about fifteen miles......and guess what! the bridge is still open, we were 10 cars in line this morning including some huge f350!! It's one of the last ice bridge still in operation in the province and certainly one with the most traffic a few hundred crossing a day! ......I wonder if someone ever cross that bridge on a motorcycle....hmmmmm! tempting.

Neat pics and congrats on your first ride! Went for my first 'official' one today after an oil change. The unofficial first ride of the day was a week ago but it was rushed and didn't have that 'first ride' feeling ;)

  Troll I spent time looking at your bike in the pictures and must say it is a really good looking ride.  JMPO WWW's would look really nice, but then each to their own, and as for that pillion seat, it looks like it was a factory made set up.
8) I am sure that GB can fit his backside on to that seat to ride with you during Drift in...........

Good for you! As far as the mud goes, that's Iowa, all year 'round. They must have more "minimum maintenance" roads than Minnesota! Here's a couple of shots I just took, this afternoon. The weather fool said it would be 40 and rain/snow, it was 52 and partly sunny. There is still some ice on the river, and that big white square thing is a Mississippi Ice Berg..

I suppose that's a possibility

Nope.  Not really. I don't think that would be a good look.

Don't worry Ratman, that's one picture you WON'T have to take!.. :o

This place is just full of a bunch of wise-acre's......   ;D I was just wondering how comfy that passenger perch was.... I've never sat on a Nomad, front OR back....     ;D

I suppose that's a possibility
