Bye Cat, Hello Poo

[Zachcreek]

Well I done did it. I debated last year about going to a new Polaris and ended up with a 2012 Pro-Trench. Local dealer thing, I like to support my neighbors. But, after putting money into steering, skis, cans etc. I still was not happy with it. (Yeah, I probably suck at riding). Diving, trenching etc made me not want to really get after it.

So after talking to a local pro rider here in town, and riding with friends in WC that are on Poo's, I snow checked an 800 163. I hope next year I won't suck as bad..... BTW, my mom sent me a treasure chest that I had when I was a kid.......in it was the key to my 68' 340 Polaris Colt. . Yeah, I'm old....LOL

Getting Old HuH? Me Too.

My first sled was a 62 Polaris Mustang. Still have it, all original. 8 hp Kohlar 4-stroke in it. Man what a ride.

I went the exact opposite way!

You won't regret it, especially if your riding does need a little work. I'm a little talent challenged and my Pro has made me almost look like I know what I'm doing. Great sled, especially in a couple feet of fresh.

Welcome to the club. With the switch from Cat to Poo and the old part too

I to am making the jump from cat to pro. Got tried of dealer making me feel like he could care less if I bought from him. Would have been 3rd new cat in 4-years. Went to Polaris dealer this year to snow check and felt like I had someone who cares about my business. Pro 800 Black 155" on the way. Won't be another cat in my garage

Same thing for me, I was really interested in what the new cat would do this year and I just stayed put on my M. Yesterday snowchecked a 13 Pro. I was amazed at how many guys bailed on the proclimbs .The amount of PCs on craiglist was enough for me to make the switch.

Thats what I am worried about, might have to be the GF's sled or backup...

hmm i'm confused. longevity is the one thing the cat does have going for it.

Did you forget about the belts? I can't say much, my Pro just got a new motor due to a bad oil line fitting.
