Some nice riding here this week but looks like more rain coming Sunday. So predictable.  

So an extra 100 hp and $20k you can beat a camaro in a straight line. Great job ford!  

Working this weekend then going to camp to ride Tues-Thursday. We got 2” of rain last weekend which wrecked the trails but the cold and snow this week has put a band aid on it for now.

A day later, the tensions between Sanders and Warren went from hot to boiling, after a CNN report that when the two candidates met before the start of the campaign at Warren’s Washington home in December 2018, Sanders told Warren he did not believe a woman could win the race.

"Bernie and I met for more than two hours in December 2018 to discuss the 2020 election, our past work together and our shared goals: beating Donald Trump, taking back our government from the wealthy and well-connected, and building an economy that works for everyone,” Warren said in an eye-popping statement following the report’s release.

“Among the topics that came up was what would happen if Democrats nominated a female candidate. I thought a woman could win; he disagreed," she emphasized.

Imagine the outrage if Trump had said that!

I’d own one now. I liked my 1200. Just wanted more power. 

A 900T would be perfect for you! Mine does everything better than my 1200’s did.  

Looks like yet another mountain sled, judging by the teaser. Probably some bold new clown colors too.

Got 2”+ of rain in northern nh.

Honestly I forgot the packers and were still in it.

That's a pro ride and yeah it's a POS. This is an axys sba. It's the Jesus sled.

Can you imagine how bad it would be to have bought a 16 pro ride when the axys came out the following year in that sled? holy fuck  

Interesting. I’ve always heard that the Indy/assault skid rides nowhere near as good as the jungle gym.  

Can’t beat GM fuel mileage. My Silverado is still sitting just over 20 mpg average since I got it which is prob around 25,000 miles now. And that includes a fair amount of towing.

Doo has always made just a decent looking sled. Polaris and cat it's either beautiful or butt ugly, no in between. Axys and Procross are both sweet.

How about the dial gear shifter on the Rams? That’s got to be one of the dumbest ideas ever.

Did the 900T guages come straight from a 90s Chevy pick up?

I’m pretty impressed with mine. Love being able to display so much info at once. 

So the 900T is still the fastest 160hp class sled out there.

How's the new gauge?

Is that an Enduro?

Great. I love being able to display so many things at once. But it seems hard to adjust the positions of the stats, like if you wanted to put the RPM’s in the middle screen instead of engine temp.

 Both those sleds are XRS’s.

Copy & pasted from TBP so I don’t have to retype this  

I finally scratched the itch today! 105 miles. Couple rough spots in the woods and where they had recently logged but the roads were great considering the lack of snow. Only a couple small washouts.

The more miles I put on, the more I loved the new sled. The power is incredible. I can’t believe people are getting tunes. With the conditions today I didn’t even put it in sport mode. XRS shocks are a huge improvement over my 1200 X...front and rear. Handling was better once I softened the front up. Still a little nervous but that might be from the conditions. 17 mpg on my first fill up which is already an improvement over the 1200. Engine temp seems a lot more consistent. Not sold on the track yet. 1.5 inch lugs are great but the ice ripper was doing a lot of spinning on the ice today. I guess my only complaint so far is the steering post angle. Love the adjustable riser but I ended up riding with the bars back because when they’re all the way forward it steers harder.

900T did alright for being down 15 hp and +50 lbs.  

I had to google her. Didn’t find any of her accomplishments though.

I read her twitter feed. She claims her father is a racist and that he was mean to her when she was a child. Who knows what the truth is. He could be all those things or she could be a loser looking for attention. It’s funny how people immediately take a side on all these topics. 

Gotta get 50k retweets and likes and more followers man!

Just took the entire rear suspension apart, cleaned everything up and greased it up real good. Changed all of the bogie wheel bearings (some of them were pretty sketchy) and put new super roller bearings in! Hoh-lee-fawk!!! This thing is super rolly smooth! With my new ultra clutching upgrades we are gonna lay the smack down on some Trudeau 850's. Gonna be embarrassing for Trudeau's....

Imagine when you upgrade to the Trump 850!

The Polaris fanboys sure are proud of that Lester comparo...it’s plastered all over my FB newsfeed.  

Did some accessorizing yesterday before turkey dinner and ripped around the neighborhood this morning. Won’t be long now.  

Doo could still be using the XP chassis in 2020 and they’d still be way ahead of Cat in sales.
