There’s a lot of people “in the know” talking about what’s going on too…

Mmmmm, new sled smell.  Nothing like the smell of offgasing of cheap plastics and rubber. My shop smells like new fiberglass.  It downright stinks.  I've had the manual in my house for 2 months now and it still stanks. The thing about Cat is unless you need warranty work done the dealers are pretty much useless, especially my local dealer.  Country Cat can have any part to your door in 24 hours which saved a couple trips for me.   On my Lynx the only thing the dealer did was update the DESS post since it shipped without one and program a spare key.  So far Leo's has been ok for me on those warranty/recall type items even if I don't buy from there.

Why can PP lie everyday and nothing is said about it? Debt has nothing to do with interest rates only a very uneducated person would think this, oh I get it now PP loves this type of person     

I don't disagree with your last comment.  However, I can say that I've been relatively fortunate in that the only lost time I've had to deal with was the slow delivery of my sleds the past couple years.  The fuel tank recall didn't affect me at all, and I won't be paying any attention to this E10 bullshit they're trying to push.  I wasn't part of the clutch debacle, thankfully - but even if I was, I would have been riding the thing until the dealer had a new clutch to swap out.  If I still had my old dealer (retired and sold his shop to a big name dealership  ... which I hate!) I really wouldn't be concerned.  But being in a position now where I have to deal with being just another face (or wallet) walking in for service - I don't like that at all.  The local Cat dealer is a small shop, and has the potential to fill the void of my previous dealer.
