I kinda mooched off my dad with his Cats (and a John Deere Trailfire) as a kid/teenager, but my first actual sled that I bought on my own was a 2000 ZR500
Similar, dad paid most of the purchase price and I paid for maintenance, repairs and upgrades.
First sled I bought once I was out of the nest was a year old 97 ZR580efi. Rode it for two seasons and sold it for what I paid for it. Then didn't have a sled or ride again until 2018. Based on my 97, Cat was my first choice, narrowly edging out a Pro Ride Indy SP.

Mercury would be my pick. They finally had a top performance sled when they got out of it. A couple not mentioned would be Alouette. They had the first twin track back in 1970's and also independent suspension. And Speedway, they were short lived but had some outside the box thinking in their sled designs
With Mercury's knowledge and track record of building performance 2 and 4 strokes, it's a shame they got out of the snowmobiz' in the first place. Can't imagine what they could come up with today.

Kawasaki powered plenty of A/C sleds long before Zuke did.
and since I post the link once a year... the amazing story and a great read about the Sharks

So....if we buy up all of the primer gray paint at Dennis Kirk, will Cat have to stop production on the rest of their sleds?
aren't the panels manufactured (formed) in gray, or are they just being finished in gray?

... and widen it out so sleds don't just ride the middle.
38 minutes ago, Ziemann said:helps to get sled traffic on the full width of the trail sooner to help freeze things down. Otherwise, the damn sleds just run right down the center of the trail.
seems no matter how wide the trail is or if it's fresh groom or not, people around here seem the like to ride in the center of the trail, when the aren't riding off the trail. people?

Would live to see what preceded the start but it sure as shit seems like the cop was an overzealous douche in desperate need of an asswhooping.
On December 5, Officer Crocker attempted to stop Lt. Nazario, who was driving a new 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe with a temporary plate "taped to the inside of the rear window of the vehicle," on U.S. 460, according to the filing. The stop was originally for a lack of a rear license plate. Officer Gutierrez soon joined in on the stop.

This vid sounds like it was a traffic violation but of course all the social justice warriors will choose the minute long vid instead.
the cop with the body cam, clearly an asshole

obviously not in this case, cop must have thought his actions were 'justified'

Again not saying it is right I fucking hate cops but I know there rules and when younger was willing to fuck with them . Now I am older bit more wise I just don't say shit pass my dl out the window and record the whole interaction if needed for court .
that's because we're white
5 hours ago, Snake said:Told my wife and all the girls if an unmarked car pulls blues on you are you are suspicious of it, hit the 4 ways, call 911 and report to the dispatcher you are proceeding to a safe lit area.
agree 111% - these douchebags would have probably written him a ticket for being on his phone while driving. another smart move the Lt. made, he left his phone on and recorded the 'conversation'
there's good cops, bad cops, and those who shouldn't even be cops. obviously these two should not be cops.
The officers then told Lt. Nazario to "chill and let this go," saying that if he did, they wouldn't file charges. However, the officers also said, "if '[Lt. Nazario] fought it [or if he] argued which was his right as a citizen, [they] would charge [Lt. Nazario with crimes], have [Lt. Nazario] go to court, notify command, and do all that,'" per the filing.
The lawsuit alleged the officers failed to report multiple details in their reports, as well as fabricating parts such as Lt. Nazario not having a temporary plate displayed and saying the lieutenant slapped Officer Crocker's hand away.

More people staying home? Hasn’t Wisconsin been pretty much open, compared to Michigan, for quite some time? Find that hard to believe talking with the people that I know over there. They are laughing at how hard we have it over here with restrictions, etc.
States with some of the lowest numbers of cases currently have some of the lowest percentage of vaccinated populations too. Some, don’t even have a mask mandate either.
My point being is that I don’t have really any fucking faith in pretty much any of the metrics associated with this shit anymore. I haven’t really ever had any, tbh.
possibly, I know a lot of folks that have cooped up the entire time and been precautious, and just as many that have went about as if everything was perfectly fine.
it may have had to do with schools, can't say with certainty. regardless I find the statistics interesting but haven't correlated any distinct mechanism or causation I'm willing to point my finger at, other than 'there's a lot of deniers of science and facts in Michigan'

How’s Wisconsin doing so much better than Michigan then?
more people getting vaccinated, more people staying home, distancing and wearing masks %-wise I'd imagine?
Wisco *death count is 7,380 deaths where Michigan is at 17,552
we had a pretty big case count spike here in mid-November
we're currently sitting at 24.2% fully vaccinated, Michigan is at 21.8%
interesting stuff, you can change parameters state by state

Extreme weather is actually decreasing in severity
when you see articles about weather related damages, it’s always economical damages. With inflation and population growth that’s always going to go up
hurricane intensity is actually down. Same with tornado intensity
as a snowmobiler (this is a snowmobile website right?) this winter sucked (here) for snowfall and severe* winter storms.
severe* - weather conducive to actually going snowmobiling

Where in the hell will we ever put all these people???

we've been continuously warming since the last ice age, right?
what should be more alarming but seemingly isn't is that global population (use-consumption/cause-effect) has grown at a more alarming rate. where do the same scientists and politicians that want to raise the warning flags on climate change stand on that cause-effect of population growth? like a swarm of locust, we are gobbling up our own resources faster than we can replenish them.
maybe we need a good virus or pandemic to stem the tide of global population growth?

Our county was 11th in the country for covid cases.
Went to a showing/funeral service for my uncle's father recently, almost no one wore masks.
Since then, two people from the church have died of covid, and many more have been infected and hospitalized. The pastor was on a respirator last I heard.
there's a lot of deniers of science and facts in Michigan

so while BRP is offering Lynx, ride control and a new MachZ, Polaris has a mountain turbo, 650/850 and seven flavors of Indy's - Cat is tripling down on their MARKETING efforts to push CHEAP mid-sized 400cc sleds and ZR200's?
did Thief River Falls start importing drinking water from Flint Michigan?
someone help me out here...

Anyone know if the precision efi tune lives up to their claims on a New holland T9? Ever since Scott Wine took over it catches on fire like a 800ctech. I also need it to roll a lot of coal when pulling my groomer. I already bought a 12 inch ggb race pipe for it.
don't forget to add 406 led lights....... and underglow.
