    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    The bulk of the business has to be the dirt side for success these days. I'm not up on that but have heard textron has fallen way behind. On the sled side I think pre-textron cat made the mistake of doing incremental improvements instead of a new chassis. An 18 procross is a lot different than...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    By "bunch" I meant quite a few people but not enough to be concerned given their size - more of a production adjustment. I hate what BRP did to the marine brands they bought, or Alcom to trailers, etc. Sign of the times I guess but big corps don't care about niche brand names with loyal followers.

    Past membership challenge

    I've been here since about the beginning and have learned a lot from many. Geesh, think I was about 20 when this started. I remember reading about John's Pol-cat. I still find forums much better than bookface for several reasons - the search feature, where I can find questions already answered...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I hope its Argo - so many cat people there already. Textron is milking every penny out. Doo laid off a bunch yesterday too but obviously it's a bigger group to start with.

    Before You Ride!

    I appreciate that! We have more than enough external issues, let's fix the ones we do ourselves. I wish the sleds had bigger registration stickers and then they could put up cameras in the most abused places.

    Before You Ride!

    Thanks, but you're probably preaching to the choir on here. Need to figure out how to reach the less enlightened.

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I think everyone is missing the shut down doesn't affect the sled production but the dirt side. I'm definitely not defending textron's product on the dirt side - they have fallen behind. They got out every sled they planned to make this year. And if they didn't go crazy with production it was a...

    Around superior bag trip

    You can still do that. We'll probably be doing it once or twice this season.

    What Will You Be Riding this Winter

    It is amazing how last year distorts memories. The year before we had great snow, but my mind is stuck on last year sucking.

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    Why not wait on the surgery till the season is over?

    Around superior bag trip

    I think you'd have to coordinate with some people locally to figure out where you can get through the closed areas and where you'd need to get someone to get you with a trailer. Those trails are went away after the 08 financial/housing crash and I think the clubs folded too. At least they seem...

    What Will You Be Riding this Winter

    18 cat 600 for the 7th and maybe last season. 8k on it now. If things line up I may upgrade at the end of the season.

    Aluminum trailer care

    I think our Legend is about 10 years old now. We've hosed it off at the car wash after nearly every trip and had to redo all the brakes once do to corrosion, but we haven't done much else to it. I did coat the bottom with fluid film year 1 but didn't keep up with it. I'm guessing it will need...

    Gonna be tough financially for WI clubs this year

    Most of us probably didn't spend nearly as much as we typically do riding last year. I was thinking it might be a good year for me to join a few clubs.
