Yep we were playing in the Sawtell area behind Cat's R&D when two riders came emerging from a trail saw us and bolted wide open into the woods. What we saw was something very similar to Cat's race sled, (long tracked) but seemed like a bit more narrow in the front end. A third rider emerged looking for his partners who were tucked into the woods line, that sled had a bra type covering the front of the sled hiding something. I know not much to give ya but they were not happy we saw what we saw! To bad we did not have the camera at the ready!:face-icon-small-coo

Seen me an air plane fly over today. Well, didn't really SEE the plane. It was way up there. My dog saw it also. He is drawing a likeness of it as we speak.:face-icon-small-coo

Clean lines, low center of gravity. Although I can't tell from the drawing, it looks like they are using a lot of titanium and magnesium. Also looks like the steering problem has been fixed with that angle they are using as well as the new u-joint in the steering post allowing for great feel and a less offensive feedback ratio to the rider.

Hilly:

Guys, I am out in I.P with hilly, and while I was back at the cabin today, I need to remind you that hilly brought two 1.75s of skyy vodka out here, and he was about half way into his second bottle just before he posted this earth shattering revelation. Sober up hilly, its a long drive back to Minnesota

Also looks like it must be a Di. Not much smoke at all... Those are speed squiggles.

I saw Bret Rasmussen's pickup and trailer leaving there yesterday, I am sure they were up there testing, but I didn't see anything else.

Rasmussen wasn't testing yesterday, he was with riding with a group from Iowa that hired him. He pulled up along side me up near the Jefferson area and talked to me for a little bit. All he said when I asked him about the 2012s was "March 8th."

I dont want to wait a month!! I'm sick of waiting, I want to see them now! I need to know if I'm going back to Polaris next year, or if I'll be on one of these fancy new cats.
