So...a bit of backreading shows that the lowly Cat 800 PC is a runner? Either Bussy knows how to set a sled up like a fucking white person, or..his dealer did it for him..which had to be accidental. Either way...good for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RR shock package may be the best I've ever felt. Sled has great low end pop and the throttle response is really good. Clutching seems spot on and the rip2 is a good track. He has it studded well. Sled just works well. Still not comfy for me but a lot closer than the old PC sleds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian wrenches for a living and RT 12 is a great dealer. I don’t think it’s a accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bs aside I hope this is a good machine for him. He's had some bad luck with sleds the last several years. The season is too short to have to worry about stuff breaking down. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to fix my XF, not really seeing any smoking deals yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good part is you can probably get a great deal on a really reliable sled if you like those. I was shopping for a sled for my son and was thinking about a four stroke. But the way winter is going I said fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trade this assault even up for one of those right now if I could. Save me some time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tuning suspension and clutches...and acting like tool bags. I doubt we hit more than 40mph all day. LOL! Fucking girl sleds!!! Neat side is....I'm a better clutch/suspension guy than my racing buddy...LOL...I hosed him in all three hole shot tests. And yes, I felt gay as fuck lining up to do it. Wow, that looks like an ARCTIC CAT factory racer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
