I don't follow any of this boring racing and didn't watch these races. But where is the talent at? That's going to play a much larger role than anything. Also part of racing is setting up your machine to where it works how you need it to.

I've never had a problem with the jag or snopro headlights. Jag has less for lightweight, the true performance machine.

Your snopro uses atv headlights

That sucks and is totally unacceptable

The world isn't ending it'll be ok. I've seen alot of decent deals lately, decent for even pre inflation/covid/supply chain. Usually after new years, sellers start getting pretty nervous and prices come down and I've been seeing that.

That guy is probably top 5 intelligence percentile for that group.

Obviously they'd don't feel like it has been worth it to this point. They own a helicopter and you don't so they might know something.

You'd have to buy helmet cameras for everyone, convince them to run them, and then how much footage would you get before the batteries die? Definitely not to the end of the race. And that's alot of footage to go through, you'd need at least one full time person just handling all of that. It'd be better to just have a few people around the course take some clips of action periodically. Ultimately, cross country has always been about the racers not the spectating. I'm sure the racers are just happy to race. But really anyone that wants it so bad can go out and do it, gather your own advertisors to put in the videos, gather your own volunteers, dedicate your own time, and maybe you'll break even on it. If there is a demand for it, somebody would step up and do it. Besides the friends and family of the racers, there is not many people who would watch I feel like. Just my opinion.

You'd still have to pay at least one person to be dedicated to doing all of it, gathering clips, editing, etc. Yes the argument can be made that it may help grow their series but most times these coordinators and promoters are so busy with everything else and the upcoming races that the idea of making a video production, they don't have time for it.

Guessing the cost vs return is not worth it to them.

Classic north shore flow

Looks nice and those 500's are nice, I'd rather have that one than the powervalve version

I rode mine a little right after riding the 800 and wasn't sure how it'd feel but it still felt fast. Squirming and fighting for traction will keep it entertaining, it even picked a ski up once when I pinned it at around 30. I can't wait to ride it some more. With the gearing they go about 80 on the speedometer, I think I got slightly over 80 on a road last year. Usually 75 on average trail conditions. Usually a speedometer not working is an indication that your track shaft bearing is bad. When it goes bad it will break the little 2" cable section between the shaft and the speedo adapter. If it has all balls bearings in it, it's probably bad. Those are the cheapest shittiest China bearings.

Found some snow

They are stupid fun for the trails I ride. I've always liked the 97 ZL. Nope. Guy told me Thursday the person he was holding for was making arrangements to get it and the ad is now gone. Pretty tough miss. Maybe if @Sled_Hedwould have alerted me to it sooner, I would have got it. Thanks alot.

Took the Jag out for a shakedown today, Stayed with the stock motor but it got some Suzuki pistons and I bumped the timing. Felt strong, rips pretty good! 20-60 is exciting. I have a hi po belt and a roller clutch I'd like to test with. I got new shocks and polished the adjusters. Tip top shape!

Lug flick strikes again.

Here is that F7. Was at 6500, now they lowered the price to a much more reasonable number. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/snw/d/elk-river-2004-arctic-cat-f7-fighter/7428651178.html

You're right. Not obsessed at all. It's just me.

Extremely bad.

You might be able to make the cover work with some modification to the foam or other surrounding parts, I'm not sure.

I think the longer the lug height you have, it is harder for it to pick the snow up into the tunnel, it just wants to shoot it out the back instead.

That is what happens on my sled. Granted it's very different being a high country and rarely sees a trail. But same issue, it shoots a giant rooster tail out back but the snowflap doesn't catch any of it. I think that's a lot of the issues, that's what the other guy was saying too with the heavier rider thing.
