Greg sorry this offended you to be honest I really don’t care that’s not what my intentions were to wander off topic regarding Trackside and OEMs. I wanted to hear about Catalyst demo ride characteristics. With that said I was involved in the Yamaha transition from the viewpoint of another WI...

Agree AC did that a lot to dealers back then easy to say mutual bye bye.

I don’t mess with 2 s since 2006 only 4s. I usually buy low mile used 4s up to about 1,600 miles. Cream pies are out there with folks that just didn’t like 4s went back to 2s and get good buck on used market with their 4s cherries. I don’t look at high milers , shocks probably haven’t been...

At the time neither Yamaha or AC was happy with Trackside. Yamaha no effort made to sell products just didn’t believe in 4s. AC I heard things like poor partners so selling effort probably was minimal on their products too at the time. Definitely was mutual parting of both OEMs.

You wanted to know about OEM choice of venue so I answered that part of your post gave you some history. As I understood there were holes in track ice base so canceled but that was second hand info.

OEMs used to be into the Derby location big time and liked Trackside location for a dealership. Then both Yamaha and AC pulled out their dealerships loaded up units and left. Yamaha was very poorly represented in Eagle River everyone favored Pat’s. AC Idk didn’t follow them much back then. Maybe...

600 is a sewing machine with that choice the 900 for sure!

Thanks I would have brought my sled but not a weekend rider but the demo ride would have been a fun activity. Maybe more OEMs will follow suit?

I’ve had a lot of fun at factory rides in the past and sure would have been at this one if I could. Still waiting for comments on the Catalyst demo.

Eagle River will start Adventure Riding Conditions soon which means conditions suck and ride at your own risk. Lol Way too much ice underneath all trails and why the county asked people to not ride trails but left them open. Yep some time left but must be cautious of the other guy for sure. Oh...

I was going to contact you drive up for a couple of days but too manny variables to be dissatisfied. I’m disappointed but know what March is like in Vilas and you’re right a few more choice days when you live there and can pick and choose routes from home. Been there done that. Lol. Please...

Go for it not for me or my guys can’t plan destination trips we are accustomed to ride. That’s what makes the world go round different opinions and I certainly wouldn’t try to discourage any riding for you. Enjoy.

From experience that’s how it usually plays out. If you live there you can pick and choose the best of it otherwise it boils down to conditions that dfattack described rideable but need to ride with extreme caution. I was good to go next week but decided against it with rain, snow and sun in the...

Free demo rides at Eagle River Derby Saturday and Sunday what did you think? The 600 enough?

Weather flirting with disaster again March Solar angles are bad enough on their own. I’m disappointed but it is what it is. 🤷‍♂️

Eps too as an option on any sled but doo doesn’t seem interested !?

That market wants smart shock system which is better than air ride. Air ride imo with smart shock becomes a bastard doo needs to move on better for manufacturing costs too.

Same here😞

I saw 107 get moguled like that once before so it will take multiple groomings to get in good shape again which puts more traffic on 3. Really no other way north with 15 closed too. Tuff year for Iron Range.

$1250 sounds top heavy , imo , but loaded seems the way to buy a turnkey helmet system. Can’t say I’m surprised and I also wouldn’t be surprised to see whole groups place orders.
