You obviously didn't read the post right. I did in fact order the jacket, Poo screwed up the dealer's order. My whole point on this is Poo should pay better attention to their snow check customers who take a chance at full retail. My point here is that Polaris was very uncaring about the customers that actually purchased the sleds on the snow check program.
Polaris is Worst in Customer Service!

Read your own post. Where does it say you ordered the jacket. You do understand what assume means?

C'mon, is your loyalty to Poo that strong that you need to make a comment like this?

It's the topic name that sets me off. How could someone bash Poo over a stupid jacket that the dealer could not get for someone who did not even know about them. I hope the Poo lawyers clean his clock for defimation of their brand name. You got over 13,200 members in here and way more visitors reading a brand bash. Of course I am upset. You would of shut me down if I started such a post. As far as loyalty, it is very high as you know. But I also had a Scorpion, yamaha, skidoo phase over the years. The topic was created out of emotion by someone who thought they were wronged. Thus a no loyalty to a full loyality conflict began. I would love to send a retro jacket to toddp, but I didn't get one either.
X2 ........The whole brand loyal thing seems a bit over the top to me. Buy whatever you like but not because of the brand name only. So the guy wants to vent about a jacket...... so what?........ it seems to mean a lot to him. Let him vent IMO. Or better yet help him find a jacket.

Vent, fine. But he opened himself up to hundreds of Poo loyals here. And a brand bash to quite an extent over an ugly retro jacket. Some tof us take it to heart. Sounds like he likes his sled. I bet the jacket will pop up on ebay soon enough.

This is an outrage!,....what will the pose at the main trail intersections look like without a matching jacket?
With a little luck you will come across a sledder wearing YOUR retro jacket, without the matching sled,....here is a thought,....sell him or her your sled and call it a win-win.

I just don't take any of this no matter what brand to heart. They all break & they all ride pretty good so buy & ride whatever you want. I like 4s over 2s any brand & happy to see more 4s models again any brand. Who makes the best 4s sled? Well we will see when 2012s are released as many are catching up to Yam. No OEM has me locked down & I buy the best bang for the buck. So 1 guy is pissed about a jacket falls in to the soooo what area to me. Important to him but not to me. Take to heart & brand protection never just 1 guy venting.
I can see where toddp is upset for not getting the coat after it was offered to him since he bought the 800 retro. I understand its after the fact of snow check but don't understand why all you guys get mad at him for stating his toughts on the situation. It comes down to good buisness practices. Polaris made a mistake and my guess is they will only offer fancy coats at the beginning of snow check again after hearing all the complaints. Not to change the subject, but Toddp should be happy with the new 800 engine and not the old ones. Toddp- I would guess you been riding your new toy with no problems. I been waiting for 4 weeks for my 09 800 switchback to get out of the shop with new crate motor. Should I be more ticked off since I spent $10,000 on a sled used it for second season and on its 4th motor blowing holes out the bottom block, or should I be more ticked since no dealer wants to trade or should I say give me only $5000 on a trade for new 2011. Now I"m venting and getting off the subject. I hope at least you like you sled. Forget the coat and keep racking the miles up and enjoy your polaris. I love all my polaris spares.

Vent - not abuse
Several years ago I decided to save a few bucks and bought a 1 model yr. old sled, with 250 miles on it. Went to look at it, (private party) and he had a matching jacket with it. I looked at him like - ' you want to sell me a jacket you've already worn ', like this was some sort of deal breaker. He thought I was nuts for not wanting it. I offered him a very low price on the sled, he accepted offer and decided to keep his f'n jacket and I went away happy. I could care less about a matching jacket for a sled, even though I happen to have one right now. I actually think it makes me look like some snobby old doufus riding around with it on. But if I don't wear it wife give me crap. Can't win.
The guy is venting because it's important to him and I applaud the mods for understanding the difference between harmless venting and out and out brand bashing that leads to the inevitable P'ing match between posters. I understand why you'd be mad if you were promised a jacket when you ordered a sled, but then again, if the sled is running good, consider yourself very lucky. Jacket don't make sled run any better and I doubt some chick would pick you up in a bar stop simply because you had a matching jacket for your retro Rush.

let the poor guy vent if you dont want to read it then dont. him venting is hurting nothing and must be important enough for others to read it and reply. and who is anyone to tell him to buy black, he wants his retro then so be it.
