He's deflecting again. As if anyone else here is pathetic enough to not own a sled on a snowmobile website. He thinks that is normal behavior because he has no shot at owning a sled. He definitely couldn't maintain one. And nowhere to ride it. 300 miles of trail in all of Alaska. Sadly it's always mud because it was 12 degrees warmer. Every time I looked at AK weather this year it was rain and upper 30's-40's.
Oh yeah and no sunlight.

That's why I told him the bet would need money put down because I wouldn't ever trust him to pay because he has no honor. He wouldn't put down the money so no bet was made and now he wants to cry like a bitch. Remember escrow dot com. Remember signed and notarized documents by three parties lol dude is a clown show living with his Mom and he's pissed at life. Alaska 12 degrees warmer last winter.
"Believe that!"

Why? Cat could still close just as you proclaimed many times (lol retard).
You are welching again. Just like when you were too scared to put money down for the other bet.
Sad coward

I wonder how many of those never ridden sleds will get put together and have the piss pounded out of them.
Probably not many. I tried to get a crated z440 a couple years ago and my plan was to treat it like any other new sled, ride it. I know some people did not like the idea of that, but they're meant to be ridden. Garage queens to me is a lame move.

Besides the obvious part about being made in USA, the carbide podcast pointed out that Argo uses China/Taiwan engine which are getting tariffed pretty heavy.
It'd be interesting to see if St cloud starts building Argo motors also.

15 minutes ago, Not greg b said: I hope they do a 90s zr. That would be a big hit. Those 90s era anniversary sleds Polaris did were awesome. Polaris would have sold an ass ton of them if they did it for Sno check and not a late limited build after the new sled buyers already ordered. But those sleds were probably very expensive to build because of the paint jobs on them and probably why they were so limited.
The XLT colored Polaris' did look good with those colors.
A 96 flavored throwback with the engine cc stenciled on back of the seat would be cool. 96 in general was a good cat year for colors and graphics also.

1 hour ago, Not greg b said: I think power steering on the catalyst is going to be a real game changer. On an atv/sxs it is night and day
Right. I have 2 ATVs without EPS. Use them just fine, it's all I've known. But then tried one with EPS and it's just a lot nicer to operate and it raises the bar, something you never knew you wanted/needed. This ext is the first but I bet it becomes standard on all the premium models. It's cool they put c&a's on that sled, I bet it will be well received. If it was themed after a model that I am a big fan of I'd have a hard time resisting it.
It'd be cool if cat does one different throwback model every year and make it a little different, more than just graphics, just like this ext has exclusive features so it's more than just a wrap. I think that'd be really cool and people would buy them. Problem with retro stuff is after one model year it loses the novelty but if they changed it every year it'd stay fresh and keep people talking and hoping their favorite model is next.

very exciting...
How you got that from what he said shows that you're a complete idiot. If anyone actually needed further proof. Also every other response in that post which I know you read, is very positive. Including Zach Herfindahl and many other owners. You're digging your heels in on a losing issue, on something you haven't experienced and everyone who has loves it.

My experience on these sites and FB groups is the ones who complain the loudest about price were never going to buy new anyway.
On 4/30/2025 at 8:27 AM, Not greg b said: Yep. The catalyst I have is literally the sled those people say manufacturers need to build. Basic, no options, no fancy screens yet cat decides not to build it.
Comment2Comment said for years he just wants a lightweight 600 trail machine with basic gauge and ifp shocks. Still sits on his hands and does nothing but comments and critiques everything to hell like his opinion matters. He isn't in the game but bombards every comment section like he's an authority. That is a loser.

whoopdeedoo... you bought something. a first year model from a company that looked to be going out of business. how many more months until it's paid off? congratulations on your purchase which apparently entitles you to be the foremost authority on all things Cat btw.
Not that it's your business but it was "paid off" before I took delivery. Keep trying.
Funny right in this thread you said you have a heavy steering two stroke. Another person also said they rode a Polaris two stroke that had heavy steering. But your argument is that two strokes wouldn't benefit from it because they're "lightweight". Ok boomer. Luckily you can still buy a non EPS sled. Which we all know you won't.

On 4/28/2025 at 10:35 AM, Crnr2Crnr said: that makes sense as 'feelings' seem rather important to you
in one breath we celebrate light weight
in the next we celebrate adding weight to the new lightweight sleds
as krommy pointed out they're likely going to have to have estart due to electrical supply for the eps... so a bonus 50lbs of crap added to the sled will make it feel lighter because of a little less steering effort?
illogical... but run with that
Yeah dude, riding snowmobiles is all about how they feel.
I guess not for you, you ride spec sheets and snowtrax reviews.
Where are you getting 50# from?
So you don't understand how EPS can make a sled feel lighter? Maybe if they make a column on the spec sheet that says feels lighter yes/no, then you'd understand?
Since you're an old man stuck in your ways fearing advancement and things not working when sleds are 15 years old, I'm surprised you have sleds with efi, oil injection, and electric gauges. Because you sound just like the stubborn closed minded people that opposed all those advancements.

19 hours ago, Deephaven said: The ONLY value I see in it is if you can truly run so much ski/pressure that there is no way you could turn it without. That may be worth a weight penalty but that also will just increase the speed that morons incapable of thinking ride endangering others.
That is a crazy way to think about it. I have sleds that I can turn without it, but I would still turn better with it and benefit from it.
The second part, you could say that about literally every advancement in snowmobiles that makes them better. It's also admitting it makes them better. But you could say that about high performance engines, better suspensions, better tracks, better chassis, better skis, carbides, lower center gravity. By this logic we should all be riding around on 8 HP Briggs and Strattons so we don't have morons running around at speed.

And even if they did have snow and you were a 1%'er Alaskan that has a sled, they have no trails to ride.
