We ride cats and will stay riding cats as long as we keep getting the dealer support we get. Anyone that was on a clinic that we had any mechanical problems will tell you how good our dealer here in Fernie is.
I dont care about what brand Im on as long as Ive hade time to peel a bunch of fat of the sled, and it handles all the km we manage to put on every year.

Oh and sweet cheeks.. I should probably let you know that I Know who your alter is......... baa ha ha ha haaaaa

I wish I had the time for an alter! Im juggling 3, and possibly another job right now, and a girlfriend.

You make that sound like it is a bad thing.

Its not a bad thing, I would ride whatever is free. Hell I wish I could have a company truck, sled, bike, quad.......

Admitting you're a douche is the first step.

Respect is the first step. Hate... came through in the form of disrespect. I have 4 kids, and a job.. and I am incredibly blessed to be able to ride toys. I wouldn't trade my kids for the world.. I'd give my life for them in a heartbeat, but having four.. holy CRAP it is expensive. To be able to enjoy the cutting edge of technology in the powersports world is an amazing position to be in. Sometimes we all have to leave our crap at the door and connect as people. I happen to think firefighters are some of the most brave and self sacrificing people on the planet. I ride stuff.. sell stuff.. write stuff.. you have the ability to save people's lives. That's awesome.
I would ask that you NEVER disrespect me like that again. You made it sound like I was some sort of a sled whore because I wrote about my experiences on different chassis. To me that is unacceptable. I would never disrespect you in that way.
I will call a truce, we can perhaps meet in person under different circumstances.. but never again disrespect me in that way again. I would appreciate it very much. No matter if you feel my opinion is mute, I am proud and thankful to have my job, to have my life.

... Hey there's something super familiar about your avatar......

One of my old coworkers kid drew it, he brought it into work and we laughed until tears were in our eyes. It was supposed to be a horse, but throughout the day someone wrote donkey under it, and then along the way sometime later "pet my" got written above it. I have been using it as my avatar for years on any forum that will let me.

after reading the article and then the rest of the posts in here and that you already called truce. I am going to say you were pretty quick to fly off the handle at teamgreen. I saw no hate or disrespect from his post. it was his notes.

quote "Coles notes: I will gladly ride whatever free sled I can get my hands on."

which I took as his notes for himself, not directed at you in a derogatory way, especially if you look at the last complete paragraph from your article.

Quote

" Switching machines is not really that big of a deal. Brand loyalty can become almost ridiculous as the “no YO Momma” type attitude provokes near fisticuffs in ego driven sled heads. Seriously, get a grip, and mash it. You CAN ride anything if you are any sort of a rider. Today’s manufacturers are producing Epic Pow shredding machines with incredibly advanced features. All the chassis in todays market have the potential for epic rides. It comes down to a few factors I think."

So it really didn't sound like he was attacking you or your life/job/family. since in all fairness he said "I" not "She". all a matter of perspective really. penisred isn't dirty....... or is it?

Especially how great you make the new cats sound from just 2 days of riding. plus if that was your new sled you made it sound like in the article that it was basically a 2 day "demo ride". since your old brand wasn't cat and now that you're working for a cat dealer it would make good sense to do that, but I would be dying for a chance of a ride like that if it was in fact more of a "demo/get to know this new brand" ride.

I'm not trying to stir the pot or say that teamgreen doesn't have a reputation but this time it kinda seemed like teamgreen got tarred and feathered a little quick.

The first rule of good salesmanship is buy your product!!! I would never trust a salesman at a Chevy dealer that drives a Honda.
