Just found out this morning...the snowmobiling and motorcycle communities haves lost Yvon Duhamel. I was too young to appreciate his talent at the time, and I never really followed any sort of racing, but from everything I have heard and read over the years, he really was ALL THAT.

Agreed. RIP to another great that helped shape our sport into what it is. Those word as so true. He had flair, but it was real. Some of his sayings are classic: "I get paid to ride, not walk." One of our (previous board) members was good friends with Yvon. He told me (at one time) Yvon and Sofia's basement Memorabilia display was incredible. That's where he keep his 1974 ski-doo SnoPro. RIP Yvon. |

WOW! |
