Seriously.. that is what you got out of that. Thank you for your input. Oh and by the way, I do have a sled payment each month. I also work in dealerships, and part of my "job" as much as it makes you dislike me, is to ride, do demo rides and market. I am a girl of integrity. I have to believe in what I sell. Those who take the time to get to know me know my character understand this. I think it's good that I'm in Alberta now. I can get to meet peeps face to face. I look forward to meeting you.

That is the closest I have ever seen Momma come to losing her temper :)
Close call!!

Good read, and definitely the truth. Unfortunately, it is human nature to justify one's purchase, which is why you end up with people drinking doolaide, bleeding cat green, etc, etc. In my house we have three sleds: a Cat, a Polaris, and a Doo. I'll ride any of them, although my first choice is my 4 stroke turbo cat. The internet has killed the resale value of this machine, much the same it did the M1000. I don't much worry about it, as I have a great dealer (thanks Terry), and I really can't say I had much problem with my last three Cats, something I can attribute to good dealer setup, regular maintenance, and riding ability (contrary to poular belief, WOT isn't the answer to every situation). I'm also a firm believer that a 3 minute ride on a sled that is set up for a different rider isn't going to paint a good picture to the prospective buyer, period. Buy what you like, from a dealer you can depend on, and RIDE - it will all pan out.

You know thinking about Team Green's comment, there is something there. Technically if One was far superior than the other, there is no way I should have been able to transition so easily. There should have been some sort of discomfort etc... again set up for my weight... and ride style it was game on.
That freakin Brand pride divides us so much that we work against each other and dilute the industry we need to band together and strengthen. Seriously who freakin cares WHAT you ride???? Point being.. ride it and smile. Give thanks for the opportunity to ride, and lets give our sport an awesome face. Let's help advocate for safety... how about instead of fighting about Yellow, Green or Blue... we fight for mandatory Tethers... and R and D.. and a proper process when it comes to factory recalls, so riders are taken care of? Seriously.. How about we all get over ourselves and enjoy this sport? THAT is what I am saying. They are all great sleds.

There you go again Trish, trying to apply the voice of reason to those that don't want to be reasonable..
