What is even more fucked up is the surplus MN blasted through and we will see CONSTANT headlines of schools running short on money and kids going hungry. Fucking criminal what the DFL has done in this state.

I keep sideways eyeing up a KLR650, just can't pull the trigger. Every time I get close, I see some clueless person in a vehicle and think better of it.

I look at it as an investment in my health and even though I'm now like $2500-2700 deep into my $1600 bike, it isn't like I bought it and it is now worth $0. I can at least sell it for something.

4 boxes showed up today. Looks like everything has shown up so far, still waiting on the high dollar item and some side panels.

How do I donate?

Going to Mexico is always interesting. Just drive the hell on in, stop at the border office and pick up your TN visa and keep on driving. Get to cheat the 4-6 hour line on the way back when you turn in your TN card and get dumped 30 minutes or less from the border.

Kind of crazy to think that my Rocky Mountain has a $4800 retail and there are still 3 model levels above the one I have, and a choice of AL or carbon frame. Full rip top of the line Altitude is $11k

I'm still trying to decipher what my high school classmate is posting on the book. His cheese has slipped off his cracker this weekend and every 10-15 minutes, posting up some whackadoodle thing in our class group. It has been an interesting afternoon.

I think you are seeing it at the swap meets too. They are getting smaller and smaller and the some of those seller you used to see at every one are just gone.

I'd say judging by some of the stuff head to auction the last 2-3 years, we are seeing the start of that.

Bad snow years and Irv the Liquidator did them in in the 80's. Textron is a modern day Irv the Liquidator. Your fallacy of them "focusing on racing" isn't what did them in.

I do not understand why one thinks racing helped to put Cat in the position they are in today.

A family down the road from my parents owned what was the largest Cat dealer in MN at one time, and a couple other brands too. My dad said the kids used to race and had a bunch of rare sleds. Once mom and dad kicked the bucket, they treated the remains of the business as a personal bank account and nosedived it into the group. A big Cat collector picked up 3 or 4 sleds from the family not long ago, including a a King Cat, a Puma 760, and at least 1 old XC sled. Makes you wonder what is in some of those sheds and garages you drive by. Somewhere else out here is supposedly the old Herters inventory and another person has all the inventory from a Sno-Jet warehouse. Another place has a old Yamaha and a Ski-Doo dealer parts inventory.

I pictured him as someone in his 40's or even late 30's for some reason. When you see stuff like that, it really makes you wonder what some of these old codgers have squired away and hidden that the family will have to deal with some day. I know I have quite the start on a hoard myself. No, wait. I have a hoard...

I hope all the tariff shit is bending my old employer over and fucking them hard right now. Greedy bastards.

Their inventory software is set up in such a way that when it hits a certain point, the prices adjust up or down until it is either gone or the next order comes in.

Mike Rider must have as much inventory as Cat does the way he is listing it right now.

You may be surprised, but I'd be in favor of publicly funded elections with major limitations on donations from individuals and companies.

It is wild. It isn't like "Well, we support him because he isn't Trump." They are 100% all in. Their political Gods can do no wrong.

Yeah, you are right. I'm sure they had to rely plenty on the average bunch of millionaires a a smattering of Super PAC money too.

I wish! I'm trapped in the state led by nationally recognized weirdo Head Coach Timmy Walz & Co.

Yeah, the Democrat's billionaires pooled their money and won out this time.

If I didn't buy them out of 2 certain Suzuki pistons, I gave it one hell of a go.

Yes, stringers/floor joists on 16" or 18" centers. Ideally walls the same. Sturdier is the main reason. Some friends bought one built on 24" and after the first year or two, their floor was sagging in spots and you could see it wrinkle goofy in the wind. It would literally sound flimsy when you'd drop that rear door to load it when it was windy.

No worries, we have Tall Tale Timmy here in MN who is all giddy that we "Beat the Billionaire" while completely ignoring the billionaires that supported the left's choice and himself.
