They all did! I grew up spending a lot of time on a XLT Special with those manly purple and pink decals. I always had problems with getting the ladies panties stuck in the bogie wheels when they saw me riding dirty past them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icecube Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I had long hair also back then, so I couldn’t see shit! Finally got a hair cut and bought the 01 ZR800LE... felt much lighter then, I think it was the short hair. 🐸 Edited December 30, 2020 by Icecube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first full size sled the ORIGINAL FIREBALL 440, the 440 swapped Wedge that caught on fire on a lake! We put the fire out and kept riding 15 more miles until it burned a piston down on a R.R. grade and as we're standing there looking at spark plugs a train goes by and blows his horn EDIT - purple colors!

Doug Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We have one couple that are true Arctic Cat rides. When he went to buy a new sled from his normal dealer that is a multi-brand dealer it was his dealer that steered him away from Arctic Cat. He kept his turbo and has a new Ski-Doo for this year. I hope Arctic Cat stays around. Wouldn't be good for the sport to only have 2 manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've axed a lot of dealers in last 2-3 years, and the old Cat pushed a lot out before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Today heading north I saw probably 30-40 sleds riding in the ditches and fields, over half of all were CATS. I love living in CAT country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It is amazing how few there are in MN in general...in particular 2 strokes. More 10 year old ones than new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
