    Very seldom do I participate in the bashing. If I do it is usually about a brand of sled. If some of the newer members, and we all know who they are, on HCS, would have followed, "I don't like that, so I will just leave, or not wander into the GDF", HCS would not have lost so many members. I am still there, for now.

    Nothing wrong with that.  I'll admit it, Doo has always had enough  of my interest that I kept their gear.  But still, Cat is the brand I like for it's attributes I like...for now.

    Are one of those attributes , you won't likely see one like yours cause they only sold 10 of them?

    It's actually "Tater".  It's that weird Texas "wang" that makes it sound like "teeter".

    My wife thinks Costner is sexy as hell but says I remind her of Rip.  Now, wtf am I supposed to think about that?!?!?!?  

    Flattered?

    Pretty sure I'll be going against my better judgement, and will be pulling the trigger on SOMETHING this spring.  If that $1000 golden ticket was on the table, I would seriously be debating between an 850 VR1 and XCR.  But for the past month I've been telling myself the 650 is really all I need, so I'm giving the XC a serious look (I like the QS3's).  Better judgement would have me waiting and just picking up a floor model from my dealer next November/December.

    Chris, If you buy a 650 and go into it accepting  it isn't a topend sled, but a very good trail sprint sled, you will be happy. JMO

    Why not give the golden ticket pricing to anyone that actually commits to buying a sled ? It,s not like they are loosing money on every sled sold with one. If their objective is more sales, lower the prices for everyone, and cut out the bull$hit about treating some old customers special. WTF ?

    Treating old customers special? That is bullshit, cause it don't happen

    For me the Matryx seat sucks. I like to ride forward and the narrow dirtbike type seat has no support. I know many will say it is made that way for aggressive riders. That does not change my opinion, that I am entitled to, and several others that don't like it. Otherwise it is a good sled. 650 is strong off the bottom and through the midrange. I still prefer my XC850 137, which I have not rode yet this year.

    Can you put marks on each gear and  the chain, when it is loose or tight, to see if it always happens at your marks?  Sounds like a tweaked shaft though.
