Bought it for almost $900k and sold back for a bit over $550k. Better use then that North Loop "headquarters" of theirs. They have a track in TRF. They never built wheelers in St. Cloud. Engine plant only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, it had a ridiculously low speed limit. They had prototypes in St. Cloud, and there were always a few test machines going back and forth as they'd go to TRF and back for a week here or there. They had a lot of great things going with the dirt group there, but managed to screw the pooch on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will hold some beers or a bottle of liquor. I will investigate when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not greg b Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Goggles don’t fit well in beer holder and won’t at all in case. Unless you packed it in tight with a towel. I will work good for a tow rope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not greg b Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I used my 509. I am too lazy to go get my spy, Oakley and smiths. My real old Oakley would fit better but with the helmet cuts now you would not want to wear them snowmobiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not greg b Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 3 beers fit. And also looking at it with the open vent in it wouldn’t a set of goggles in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these types, you may as well. then... poof? BRP has been extremely profitable and successful in the ORV marketplace... it wasn't an accident. long term strategic planning and overwhelming customer loyalty... regardless of them being too tippy. hard to argue with a guy who's in the trench on the front line... but Jimwit will keep trying. how many Textron banners and memorabilia are in your (actually great) collection? would you buy one share of Textron right now and anticipate it being worth more next year? https://www.google.com/finance/quote/TXT:NYSE?hl=en good track record on the long term chart, but buying stock may lack passion @Not greg b and I have can coozies from ERX the year their marketing department blew a pile of $... some real smart folks working that booth. but in fairness, iPad lady was leading the charge. I'm not so narcissistic that I'd think cat would or should care about what I personally think. I don't have any Textron memorabilia. As for investing.. I'm not much of a day trader. But considering I think the whole industry is dying, I probably wouldn't invest in any snowmobile company. I prefer land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer land. I have textron stuff and it isn’t worth shit. The only thing worth money out of textron is a hat out of hat day at the golf show for the right person that doesn’t have one from that year. I can go find a hf mower in someone’s boneyard that is vintage as as shit and there is probably one person that can fix it and it would cost 100 grand to make it work right with him fixing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
