I still maintain that Jim is a double agent for Poo or Doo, and intentionally does stupid shit to irreparably harm the Arctic Cat brand.....

You see his moron post on chat? 

He's telling people to change the belt by taking apart the secondary. Which leads to the sheave stripping leaving the sled broke down on the trail

Ahhh yes- I saw his GREAT advice on Arctic Chat. Then, like here, he said it was just an opinion.

Maybe he's related to NSP Rick, with how Rick demonstrated his (in)ability to remove a hood from the ProCross

[Ziemann]

Dunno- I've gotta believe that the Textron marketing team is pulling their hair out every time Jim posts.

1) they told everyone that the big bore was coming, the day the catalyst was unveiled 

 

For sure, but taken in context with the other items I'd imagine that 858 suddenly seems worth waiting for vs the 600.

Never said starting with the 858. Production is starting earlier as they have 5,500 additional sleds being produced. Will be building the media sleds which include pre production 858's as well as test sleds. Get your fucking facts right for once!

Try again?  responding to someone about 858s and saying full production models will start around january... these are your words exactly.

IDK, ZR's been spot on about most things A-C. I kinda think that he may be on to something, after all, he took the tour.

Do you know how to read? Where in when I said full production models, I stated 858? You from New York as well?  I know the education system is pretty fucked up there right now. Having to teach, I have two daddies or mommies.

Lol, I've met 3 of his friends.  I'll give you a hint as well, when you walk into a party everyone tries to look busy so they don't have to talk to you.  Doh, fucking jimwit.

Curious if you or ACAT thinks they are still adding 5500 sleds to their build next yr?  With winter weather like this, not to mention other factors such as economy and interest rates, I can't imagine it would be a good financial decision, can you?

That is what their plan is to do. Production planning starts out early as they have to get all the parts ordered ahead of time. My dealer is pretty much sold out. My sled is the only Catalyst in the shop, but it is paid for. No snow so no hurry to grab it. Maybe Saturday?

How cool will that be staring at a brand new, never ridden sled come February and March when the 25’s are unveiled. They’d been forecasting an El Nino since January of ‘23 but you bought a new sled anyways. Smart guys would’ve skipped this year.

I have a 24. Quit the windshield washer fluid. It is distorting your small brain. We will get our snow. Not the first El Nino .

Jimwit is the only one in the world who believes AC is going to almost double production for next year..

FWIW original plan for this year was around 6k sleds, over the summer they scraped up the parts to build 1000-1500 more, which is why dealers had the ability to order units for the floor.  Its also what makes jimwits moronic claim of catalysts being sold out a lie.  Not to mention that lie about yamaha getting 8k sleds, which based on the market share numbers would mean AC built almost 16k, add in the 3500 to 5000 brp units they built, and that moron thinks ac pumped out almost 30,000 sleds last fall.

spring sales will depend on the rest of the winter..  If we get good snow late Jan, and they get the parts in time to build  858 demos for dealers, guys will get weather amnesia.  If the snow comes later, or not at all they might sell as many as they did this year.

Hindsight is 20-20 but plenty of dealers thought the catalyst was too little too late, one of the closest to us planned on shutting his doors back in October.  858 could have and should have been out 3 or 4 years ago, dash 2 years ago if it wasn't for the way textron runs AC

I think there's plenty of folks willing to pony up for the 858. Cat's production numbers will still be up regardless of what Poo/Doo release. Cat will be able to earn back some of their lost market share, but 5500 additional sleds?? I doubt it.  

THAT is the big question. Poo and Doo are not going to allow the 858 to be the top dog.
