Bombardier

Headed north to Quebec City.  It is simply called "Quebec" by the province and locals, like Montreal or Toronto,  They are not called Montreal City or Toronto City.... Took a while to figure this out..

Stopped for gas and saw signs to the Bombardier Museum. After a little deliberation, a detour was decided. Had no idea that BRP was started in a small town called Valcourt. New museum, opened this year, quite cool and interactive. We have been noticing alot of Can-Am Spyders (trike) being ridden in this area. As we rolled into town, there were thousands of crates at a warehouse facility. Immediately became apparent that they are manufactured in this small town. So cool! But, as a motorcycle purest, I still wouldn't own one.
