ikr, but the primo shit rolls that block with regularity. gorgeous deep blue speedster crossed the other day, about the same price as our house. missed my opportunity but still love seeing them. the RS's are also bringing dumb$ yeah, on ice I'd want the best components possible to claw down from a hundert plus to corner and in certain circumstances on terrain, but for Joe Blow from Kokomo on the trail most imo wouldn't know the difference between the $60 rotor with cheap pads and the $600 rotor with race compound pads. it is a bit nutty to spend $600 just for a rotor... but CC has them 'in stock'.

if history repeats itself, we're going to get dumped on in March/April again this year. dnr don't GAF here because no 'trails' are open April 1st no matter if there's an inch of snow or ten feet of it. sigh, worst riding season since I've come back... hands down. lucky me, my old enjoyable junk is bought and paid for... can't imagine having a $20k sled like this.

BAT is not the place for you then... watched this one RNM recently https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1994-porsche-911-turbo-s-3/ I get that it's special and I've always loved the 964's but guarantee it would have had 3x more miles on it if I owned it. the question to me on the big$ rotor would be 'exactly how much better braking performance will be gained'? I can see the Mira boys and a fully sponsored rider having that... but would even a mid level racer gain an advantage with it? something I haven't thought about until right now... do any of the driveshaft mounted brakes have a factory air duct going to the caliper and rotor any longer? know I haven't looked but in the days gone by all the performance sleds with a jackshaft brake had a duct.

close though... @ZR6000RR fan club gathering.

Skogquist must be saving $1800 per weekend... anyone who turns a 911 into a Safari or Dakkar version deserves killing in my opinion I wouldn't have suggested those but you never asked so... for the era and money excellent... that said the RXC stops better and with those pads still make the noise. Polaris brakes on the Cross Country, also a good noise. pretty certain Raisin Farmer said the CC comes with the good pads as stock. IDK if they come with the $600 rotor though

smart people wear orange at all times can you pick out the smart one in this group? that's one smart mofo...

ratio? at $800 for a brake rotor and set of pads, probably not many. I did try the Hayes numbers shown in the Country Cat pics in a Google search and got nothing. The Wildwood pieces for the 440/500's can be acquired for peanuts if you are savvy enough avoid the Cat markup.

no next question...

Sen. Joe Manchin: The debt of our nation is ‘the greatest threat we have as a country’ https://www.cnbc.com/video/2023/11/09/sen-joe-manchin-the-debt-of-our-nation-is-the-greatest-threat-we-have-as-a-country.html Oh look, something neither major party wants discussed.

anyone else remember the Trust Act?

5-6" around work... seeing folks heading north on the highway with trailers for what exactly? I might bring the trailer up and do wheelies on the work property at lunch tomorrow for a laugh. Pathetic right?

at what point will Textron own you? it's inevitable...

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/joe-manchin-suggests-mitt-romney-rob-portman-potential-running-mates-flirts-third-party-ticket it's interesting reading the comments... but some nutters here claim 2/3rds of Republicans 'want' Trump

sadly, Ski-Doo survived

https://issuu.com/tsvcustomerservice/docs/arc_my25_ac_snow_accessories_catalog_issu thumbing through the performance section of the 2025 accessory catalog, there's some shocks, extreme duty brake disc and pads, couple other niknacks but no OPTIONAL GEARING? only real insiders must know the details and part #'s. also... no Gates belts?

there's a chunk of property along the river a few miles north of us I'd love to get for a pole barn/man cave right on the trail... but that old farmer won't let a single acre of it go, which I get. have stopped a couple times when I've seen him outside and left my contact info. his kids will probably sell it to a developer to build a fucking subdivision... ironically .

technically it's Tony...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/joe-manchin-floats-mitt-romney-potential-running-mate-rcna138977 Interesting... Too bad @Snake is no longer here... he hated Romney so much that he voted for Obama.

maybe where you reside... around here, very seldom. only one of my local riding buddies can hit the trail from his house... because the trail goes through his dad's adjacent property. the neighborhood I grew up in back then was 38 homes, two huge farms and undeveloped woods. the same neighborhood today has over 400 homes in it and not an acre of farmland.

you tell em killa...

I find it ironically funny and was just reminiscing a bit, relax Jag man. BOY, did we ever get SNOW back then as well... unlike today with all the woke global warming and having these pricey high tech snowmobiles sitting idle in our garages and trailers. when I was a kid we'd have been out slaying the fresh four inches of snow we received last night through the neighborhood ten minutes after getting off the school bus. today... very few places a kid can do that.

vIctims and lovers of outrage politics... he's with certainly the man for you.
