No kidding. I've written with Phatty.
Well, kind of. I've watched him ride and I've listened to him down in the deep dark holes in the creek bottoms where I don't go intentionally. LOL

Btw, in my opinion, though everyone gets used to the chassis they ride... Some chassis and ergonomics facilitate poor riding habits.
Polaris is such a capable chassis that you have to know how to ride well to keep up with it and do what it's capable of.

​

Poems or short stories? Just kidding, Phatty is a great guy to talk sleds with. I agree with his assessment of the t-motion lockout. Seems like most hard riding guys just want it to be "normal". I would really like to ride the Alpha but that thing seems like it could be teetering in the wrong direction when you are not ready for it to do so.

What are the odds that something is leaked before monday?? Say 45% Its been a bla week, ready for something cool! C'mon Poo!!!

 

[NorthMNSledder]

We'll just see what comes out on Monday, and then we'll figure it out from there.

I'm sure Polaris will not lose their ranking.

Ranking?

I bet they would to lose that #2 sales ranking to Doo and move to the #1 spot.

Hate to say it but I agree. Threw a leg over an 850 last week. Great power. Not exceptional.
I tried and tried to get that thing to play nice. I’m sure I’d get used to it eventually but I did not like it.

No, Phatty is a pro.

Dang it.
Just caught that.

Haha.
Usually we compose satirical short stories.

Hey, who'd you root for in the Super Bowl this year?

nah... precision, predictability, stability, and lightweight are king in the techy terrain.

Power to weight ratios matter when you are trying to move up and down on a deep snow sidehill. Polaris has no issues in maneuverability with their chassis that require t-motion or monorails. They are not behind at all in this aspect of the sleds. They are behind in the horsepower game, yet still have the best power to weight ratio on a 2 stroke.

Lots of new, mid level mountain riders like the ease at which t-motion and alpha flop over. They quickly learn that its fairly difficult to control when the back end will wash or flop further than you want it to. Almost all of the pro ski doo guys run tmotion lockout of some form if they ride techy terrain, some even convert to vertical steering. Will we see something similar on the alpha? Already seeing reports of it turning people directions if they were ready to/wanted to or not... time will tell.

(* i have no seat time on a alpha, but love the innovation push and would like to try it so that I can understand how it really feels)

Yaw...H-bomb was fantastic.
Bisbing has to learn a few things about his stance.

Well all the "I know a guy" people I talk to say the 850 is a done deal!

About 52 hours till we know, wonder what that will do to the 18 leftover prices?

My dealer told me there will be a limited number of the new sleds so not to expect any discount on it. But he's got great deal on the 18...
Also that my sidekick turbo won't fit on the new sled. So it's a new engine for sure. But he won't have a demo for me to try this spring.....awesome
