Polaris gets ripped cause they're not in the 4 stroke market.  If Arctic Cat didn't have Yamaha they wouldn't be in the 4 stroke market either.

With the help of some resources from this site being able to dig a little deeper into details I made the decision to go with the XCR 136 850 -vs- the VR1 850.  Thanks for the additional detail.  My dealer will have a 2022 XCR tomorrow and Wednesday.

That's a little weird.  You work on his Prius and personally deliver it?

You guys seem to forget the big reveal with the Blast and how that was going to take the industry by storm and gain market share.  Maybe add power steering to the blast?

I dunno ... we're 5+ days into Snow Check and I highly doubt the people who've submitted orders are buying at a rate to force Polaris to claim they're sold out.  Guess if I don't pull the trigger soon enough, and can't get a snow check, it's my fault.  Suppose I'll have to go visit the local Cat dealer then 

This would be for the VR1 or the Starfire sleds that he is referring. The Launch and others will be no problem.  He got one turbo and that was sold before the Polaris presentation was done the night of the release.

I was seeing some of this on Bookface earlier today, and it's gotta be a BS statement.  The only allotment is for the Boost sleds.  Even my buddy, who's an Ambassador, texted me about 10 minutes ago saying no way.  He spoke with his rep yesterday, and was told the same thing .... only limits are on the the turbo.

That was from my dealer.  He said snowcheck build sent to him have been crazy and people are buying.

Were up riding probably last ride.  Have my VR1, Launch 850 137, Launch 850 129, Launch 650 137 and Assault.  You can feel the difference in as shock package between the VR1 and Launch sleds when you ride them back to back.  I'm still up in the air between a 850 VR1 137 or 850 XCR 136.  Bontz ask Chris if they sprung the XCR different from the VR1 or valving on the shocks or both?

Dealers are getting tight on their allotment for Statfire series sleds. Get your orders in.

Those two are about as worthless as Joe Pissant and Pit Cunt.  Zero response from either of them when I sent them my email earlier this year, and a follow-up asking if they had any feedback.  Personally, I like the way Tom thinks .... it'd be fun to come up with a creative way to throw Joe under the bus publicly and experience a bit of embarrassment.  Maybe I'll pull the trigger on taking his email address and subscribing to a bunch of porn stuff!! LOL

Wouldn't be surprised if you got a response "Account already active" on the gay sites

Still on, just no longer a mod..I was looking up things to help someone when when I noticed I couldn't do Mod functions any longer, thought now what's going on..

Don you've always been a stand up guy.  This is now the trend on HCS with decisions by VS based on at the moment emotions right or wrong.

I will be putting season #3 on the same sled next year.  Man, this season was short but we did make it to the Elvoy a couple of times.

Two Cat riders in the group said they plan on ordering.  One is on the fence over an XCR 650 or XRS 600.  The other is just so pissed about the shitty Cat release he may quit riding altogether.  I told him if I had to ride that Sabrecat I would have quit a long time ago. 

We were at the Elvoy last Friday good times and trails we better than I expected.  Going to Houghton tomorrow. 

Couple of my riding buddies got a Lynx to ride past couple days.  All said it's more of a crossover sled and strictly trails liked their own sled better between Renegades and XRS's

I'm undecided right now between a VR1 850 137 or XCR 850 136.  Either way will be red with black tunnel and red rails with 7S ride command and 1.35 Cobra track

Come on MADCATTER'S where is the enthusiasm here.  60th year anniversary, BNG and a rebirth of Yamaha's power steering.  Ranstad need to pay a visit that there is nothing more needed and that power steering is just over the top.

Pretty sure I'll be going against my better judgement, and will be pulling the trigger on SOMETHING this spring.  If that $1000 golden ticket was on the table, I would seriously be debating between an 850 VR1 and XCR.  But for the past month I've been telling myself the 650 is really all I need, so I'm giving the XC a serious look (I like the QS3's).  Better judgement would have me waiting and just picking up a floor model from my dealer next November/December.

I'm debating between the VR1 or XCR or just ride mine for another your. Probably going to get my wife a 650 VR1 cause she likes the blue and white and that's only available in a VR1.  Happy wife I get to snowmobile every weekend during the season 👍

Shut up you faggot .... DERP DERP DERP   Go eat a bullet!!!

 

(How's that for my daily BHEN interpretation??) LOL

 

 

So for anyone who read the OP, it's sounding like the golden ticket promotion is NOT for anyone who snowchecked a 2021.  It's the program that was offered last spring, where it's only valid for folks who purchased mountain sleds.  There was an update this morning that the DSM that was caught on video claiming this was an "all inclusive" promotion was incorrect.  Sorry for getting folks' hopes up ... I know mine were!!

So you going to get back into the game?

I see Trickey Rickie is going tilt again in the Assault 1150 mile report over there.

You need another email address, yep.  I just created another dummy email on GMAIL and used that ... and then headed on over and created my new account & got it validated in no time.  The only way that won't work is if VS bans your IP address, which they are VERY reluctant to do.
