    The End of Another Crappy Season

    Wow... so two seasons in a row with only a three-month riding season. What a f'ing joke. I remember when we used to be able to ride from mid-November until the middle of May. And I just saw a video from Burandt posted a week ago saying this was their best season yet. Yeah, I feel a bit...

    Finally got an M8!

    I finally found a great M8 at a great price. Picked this up from a guy who lives down near Yosemite. Second owner who knew the first owner. Only 823 miles. Very nice shape for a 14 year old sled. Now to get the King Cat running and sold...

    Catalyst is here!

    I picked up my new Catalyst yesterday. I had them add the blue EVO front bumper, the black EVO rear bumper, the Hardcore Running Boards, and I got the 17L "ATTACH" tunnel bag and a handlebar bag. On order is a 3" riser (7" actual block, from PowerMadd) and an EarthX lightweight battery (it's...

    2004 King Cat!

    I picked this up last weekend for my daughter. $1000. It's a 2004 with 2450 miles on it. Looks to be in decent shape for its age. It came from Oregon. I'm in the process of doing all the long-overdue maintenance... chaincase fluid has been changed. We're doing coolant on it tomorrow. I'm...

    T-Rex A-Arm Installation on Matryx

    I just finished installing a set of the T-Rex A-Arms on my '23 Khaos 850. I tagged a rock a couple of rides ago with the right ski/knuckle and tweaked the right upper A-Arm. After a lot of research and reading the other big T-Rex thread here, I decided to give them a try. Installation is...

    Snow-Checked a Catalyst!

    I kicked it around for the last couple of weeks since the pre-orders started, and decided to pull the trigger! I'm getting a 2025 Mountain Cat Alpha One 858 with the 154/3.0 track. I also went for electric start (my Khaos has that and I LOVE it), and also got the ATAC setup that lets you...

    Hope Valley, 2/12/2024

    Chuck and I went to Hope Valley yesterday. We were feeling too lazy to drive another hour south to Sonora. In retrospect, we probably should have. The snow at Hope was... marginal at best. Spring conditions for the most part. Very, very tracked up. There was some soft stuff in the trees or...

    Klim: Not a fan.

    This year when I got my new sled, I decided to get new gear. I got 20% off at the dealer, and they were a Klim dealer. I got a new jacket, boots, gloves and helmet. Since then, I've had a change of heart on some stuff. The jacket... very nice jacket. Damn expensive. It doesn't fit me just...

    Gold Lake, Feb 3, 2024

    Chuck and I went to Gold Lake yesterday. This was my second ride this season. Since I've been out of the sport for fourteen years, being "rusty" is a bit of an understatement. Thankfully Chuck is extremely understanding and not as experienced either, so we had to be patient with each other...

    Facebook: A Dumpster Fire of Bullshit

    I have concluded that Facebook is a complete waste of time. I had a "real" account there years ago but deleted it around 2010. Over the last couple of years, I had some other accounts where I don't give them any personal information. The "quality" of the users on Facebook is the problem even...

    Snow is finally coming!

    It's been such a slow start to the season. I went to Hope Valley a couple weeks ago and snow was decent in some spots and scarce in others. It wasn't cement but wasn't powder. There have been a few mild storms since then. Now it appears a big one is coming starting on Sunday, with the...
