The sp500 was a consumer sled! And!

I hope you're all seeing the common denominators with all of the greats.

I don't think he said that exactly. But Tucker said everything besides a Jag is irrelevant. And I've had both sooooo .....

You must be Mr. Martin on FB

Nice example of how they'll attempt outrage over nothing. OMG different countries are changing temperatures at different times OMG. They could have easily framed it as, "rest of world is one third as warm as x country". But that doesn't sell to the morons like saying x country is 3 times hotter!!!1!111! It's basically just like saying Iowa warmed 3x as fast as MN over the last 24 hours.

You always talk about riding in the worst conditions and miles of no snow etc

I'm coming off a high country so it may be a little different than a trail sled. In proper snow off trail it was fine. But access trails and slow speed exploring you'd have to watch it. But still not too bad, I I never had a light come on like what some people apparently would. If mine got into the 120's I'd be concerned and maybe once or twice it got into the 130's. In good snow it was always at 105.

Yeah, it's probably just old PTSD from procross'. On my old zr900 there's just a light and I would've even seen it if it came on. Never look at those gauges. In my limited catalyst time this year, I was surprised how well it cooked for the conditions I had. Maybe I will get back to not looking at it. For me it's going to be all the single track trails I travel around on, often slow going and compacted.

I wonder if you'll be able to read actual coolant temp with the g8 gauge. The sport gauge just gives a cold-hot gauge

That's ridiculous. Angled studs, so it's just for wannabe drag racers? Because anyone serious would be running real studs. And trail guys should want braking if they're decent riders. Plus that guy talks funny.

Hahaha that's my kind of people

Crap I better get a motor in the Puma!!

I probably have more Arcticwear than that cooks guy, and oh yeah paid in full!

It's only because his fuel tank is bigger

Two sleds (or more) is the only way to go if you're interested in both trail riding and off trail riding

And it won the freakin iron dog!

I'd like to know why aren't we talking about brake reservoir capacity and adjusting their levels so they're all the same? It's unfair to have low brake reservoir capacity! Also. We should be putting a meth tank in every sled for weigh in. It's unfair skidoo has to run one and not everybody else. Also. Skidoo has shot and that's unfair so we should weigh the skidoo with a regular lead acid battery. Basically we need to make all the sleds exactly the same so everything is "fair". Then they will all weigh the same and there will be no winners and losers. Brilliant! I can't think of a single thing that could go wrong with this mentality.

I have an alibi.

There's trade off to everything. It comes down to the rider and what they prefer. Some riders might not experience the shortcomings of a track because they ride in a way that those shortcomings are not exposed, or their snow conditions or the trails they ride do not expose them. But it's simple physics that a longer length won't have the ability to pivot in a turn as free or fast, given everything else being the same.

That's only 3" difference which is one inch less than 4".

Oh, yes I know who the Brown's are. I will have to disagree with you on the thinking that what one racer prefers means it's better for all people. This comes down to personal preference, there's not a right and wrong. I race dirt bikes and you could ask 10 racers what bike they like or what traits they like in a bike and you'll get 10 different answers. Because people have different riding styles and ride at different speeds and value different traits and feelings from a machine. I would bet that Zach and David have different setups to their race sleds. Also what these top level snowmobilers racers like really doesn't apply to trail riders.. both in the terrain and speed/intensity. What they do is worlds apart from a trail rider. Totally different. But even if it was the same, like I said there's still no right and wrong, it's personal preference. If he likes the color purple that doesn't mean purple is the best color for everyone. But back to the original point. Cat does offer a 129" again in the catalyst so they must know there is a difference with the lengths and pros and cons for each one might appeal to different buyers.

Can I what? I don't race snowmobiles. I have no idea if I'm smarter than Zach and Dave (whoever that is), we'd have to do some IQ tests to figure that out, but I don't understand the relevance of these questions in relation to my question?
