I jumped ship - My first Yamaha

[Beerman]

I've ridden a well modified TCat for the last 5 seasons and it was time for a new sled. As a long time Cat rider I waited to see what they had. The new CF 1000 peaked my interest but not as much as an Attak. I think Yamaha has it right. This sled seems like it will have everything I want and more.

I called about 20 dealers in MI looking for a left over '06 in Red but could only find one in Blue. Got a great price on it and decided to forget the color and grabbed it yesterday.

Looks like a lot of good info on this site and a good group of guys. I'm looking forward to next season, it's gonna be a loooong summer.

Hey Beerman welcome to Yamaha, I remember you from ArticChat.com.We exchanged info on clutching, I had a 01 tcat (TCATTEN). Switched to a Apex rtx and love it.

Welcome Art. There is another guy on the site goes by Sasquatch that also came off a TCat.

Yeah but after seeing the pics of Sasquatch, he needed AT LEAST that much hp, eh?

Welcome...and yes...your going to have a long summer ahead of you. What a bit*h having to stare at any new toy with zero miles on it during the off season!

I'm praying for a freak snow storm in the lower in the next couple weeks. I don't think I'll have time for a full trip back up to the UP but could manage a quick weekend up around my in-laws in St. Helen. But right now in SE MI it's raining like hell and supposed to hit 67F! Not sure what happened to winter this year.

Hey I resemble that remark!

Welcome Beerman! As was said I did have a Thousand tripple but it was a two-up T-Cat (Pantera). Great sled still have it and take it for a blast on the lake every now and again. Best two-up touring I ever owned. Probably the last one as well. Performance & touring seems to be a contridiction nowadays.

After my Warrior I find it (Pantera) to be hard on fuel and damn stinky. Once you go fourstroke its hard to go back. Now if Yami would make a 150 efi Venture it would make my day.

Come to NWO if you want to ride, was out today and look what they did to my trails! It was awesome!

 

[Beerman]

Sasquatch, those trails look fantastic. I've ridden the Wawa area several times, but where about are these?

 

[Sasquatch]

Dryden Ontario. About 120 miles from the Manitoba Border. Or about 8 to 10hrs West and a bit North of Wawa.
