  1. Yep he beat Hibbert and Morgan that day!
  2. The sports dead. In the last 12 days we've had 29 inches of snow, mild temps and I've put on over 1400 miles, nobody's riding!! i remember back in the 90's you couldn't find a seat in the bar with hundreds parked outside, them days are gone dealers have leftovers and markets flooded with used sleds. Writings on the wall
  3. Fun read http://snowgoer.com/snowmobile-features/snowmobilings-10-most-important-designs/
  4. I know your going to call me a liar, but I actually witnessed a Yamaha win a sno x race, it was man made sno at my buddy's track and it was who ever got the hole shot won!! there was like 2 Yamaha fans in the whole crowd that clapped.
  5. First place I saw rider forward concepts was in sno x
  6. I broke these on mine and cuntry cat thought that I was going to pay to replace, ac set them straight on that. 5000 miles on the new updated ones and zero issues
  7. Blair Morgan/Tucker Hibbert are the ones that came up with rider forward ergo''s Tucker is over 6 feet tall and wins lots of races on procross
  8. I know, I hate it, the fix is coming, so slow to react. The industry is in turmoil right now.,they have lots of horsepower and lots of chassis but not lots of buyers
  9. Ya but when you feel your life slip away from you and It rides it's way out of it . I can't put a price on that . Cats are race oriented sleds right? Do we agree on that? If you don't want/need that then don't buy it. Get something that makes you happy. Life's short
  10. I'm not completely happy with it on a touring level but it's saved me from some extremely difficult situations when high speed trail riding. It's definitely sucks in low speed situations. It's not comfortable I'm over 6 feet tall. But the chassis turns on at 70 plus even in sno pro. I can put up with a lot of shit if she wants to save my ass in ugly situations and the procross has done that for me. I'm an older rider that fucks up a lot. But I need to come home in one piece.
  11. There's a lot of question marks surrounding that sled. And we KNOW cats coming out with something fucking crazy good real soon, between cat, textron, Yamaha, Suzuki relationship something crazy good is right around the corner. I'm first in line when it happens
  12. I don't think I can do it. I think Polaris started it back in the 90's. Bad idea imo. I spring checked my 12 turbo and then it never snowed, cat knew I had a problem child on my hands and no snow, they sent me a letter telling me they knew I had no snow and gave me an extra year of warranty for free.. but I just don't think I'll ever spring check again. I see over the years all these guys doing it and I guess if it fills a void for ya. I'm little shy of it. They use buzz words like game changer and brag ride and talk up the power.. pfft, marketing and bean counter guys need to give up some wages and let the engineers and designers get some say on this stuff they are peddling
  13. I know welding rails is s cock sucker, I used to break the rails on my f10 and it was better to just replace then patch
  14. When I worked with all the mill wrights the one thing I regret not having them teach me was how to properly sharpen on drill bit on a bench grinder! Damn some of them old timers at my plant were good!! Pipe fitters are usually pretty good welders too
  15. Aluminum is a bitch I think, I just have a stick welder for those projects predicaments I get into where I need it bad!!
  16. Most votechs offer night classes, I've always enjoyed welding, I'm not very good at it but I own one and done it quite a bit working as a tech over the years
  17. Omg 17,599!!! You'd have to have stupid tattooed across your forehead to hand that over to them!!! it takes me 5 minutes to lower my turbo any way I want it and 13.5 firecat tracks are everywhere!!
  18. Honestly I love the pro s, was seriously looking at one, but it has some weakness and poos going back, first the assault and now the Indy xc. My riding partner is all poo and he's had every variation of the rush and I'm pretty sure come next season he will be on that Indy xc or whatever it is. He rides fast, really fast, I know last week we put on a few hundred miles and I'm not studded and he is on his pro s and I was walking away from him on the straights, he chalked it up to set up. Apparently Polaris has seen this issue too and switching back, that and you really can't get the shock to work like they should. I dunno, I'm just a dumb cat rider!!!
  19. It has to be a tough pill for Polaris to start to distant themselves from there baby and that's what they are doing
  20. ?? They have one and it's over 200 hp and made by Yamaha
  21. I liked mine, very fast, very warm, very reliable, easy to service. Oh and comfy!!
  22. Polaris has no answer for the thundercat? I thought for sure they would
  23. Me too, it was great, put on over 500 miles last week picked up 5 inches last night and supposed to get another 3-9 by morning! And she's a blowing
  24. Well that's the other end of it, spring riding not many on the trails which is nice too!!
