| 629.2 | Already put my money down... | PATE::LAVALLEY | | Fri Mar 07 1997 12:45 | 5 |
| I already put my money down on the 98 Limited Edition ZR 600 EFI,
the limited edition is 'clicker' shocks and the easy adjust front
arm control, just like my 97 ZR440...can't wait until next winter..!!

Nice machine Brian. According to Gene, he will only be taking
trades in the month of March. He expects so many trades that he feels
he has to shut people off by the end of the month. My dad is going
for the ZL500. Another sled that they expect to be a Hot seller.
Congrats on a great choice. I'm heading north for the weekend,
(2 feet of new snow) then will be trading my wifes machine for
a new Jag. Is it too early to begin looking forward to next winter?
Regards, Lance

| 629.5 | EXT 600 for 98 | SNAX::WHITTEN | Archery is my fun! >>>---> | Mon Mar 10 1997 09:46 | 7 |
| I just put my money down on an EXT 600 for 1998. The difference from
at 97 to a 98 was only two hundred bucks so I went for the 98.
Sure hope we get a lot more snow next year. Derby line had gotten
14 or 15 inches this last weekend and the trails were great. Got
a little thin near Sherbroke.
Great riding,
Don

| 629.6 | Another great choice | ZEKE::BENT | | Mon Mar 10 1997 13:06 | 23 |

Congrats on the new Sled Don. Another great choice. My nephew
has the 1997 EXT600, and it's an awesome beast.
When I purchase my next, that'll be the one.
4 of us went to Lincoln for the weekend. It was the best riding I
have done to date. Virgin snow as far as the eye could see in front
of us. The power lines didn't have a track on them either. We broke
trail thru 2 - 2 1/2 feet of powder all day long. I swear, my poor
little 440 cc ZL worked it's heart out. The throttle was held to the
handlebar for hours on end. One scarry moment though. Going across
Bogg Pond, my wife was following me then suddenly disappeared.
The machine was completely out of sight except for the very tips of
the ski's. We hooked ropes from the tips of her ski's to 2 others
and with the help of 2 other guys that came along, we were able to
pull it out of the sink hole. Other than that one mishap, it was
the best riding I have ever had.
Again, Congrats!!!

| 629.7 | Green...!!! | PATE::LAVALLEY | | Mon Mar 17 1997 12:07 | 10 |
| Hi Lance,
I went for the green sled...that was the only way to get the extras,
the black or white sleds did not have the option of clicker shocks or
the easy adjust front arm control...went up to Pittsburg last weekend,
the riding was pretty good around Pitts, but it was fantastic up in
Canada, the trails were like glass....
Later

| 629.8 | Uh ha! | ZEKE::BENT | | Mon Mar 17 1997 12:20 | 15 |

Brian,
I guess I didn't realize that only the green came with the
clickers. Hmmm?? Learn something new everyday I guess.
A friend of mine bought the new ZL500 yesterday up to Gene's,
and I'll be going Thursday evening to buy my wifes. Not sure
yet what she's getting. She said she'd pick the one she wants
when we get there. Geesh, that's a scarry thought. I just hope
she doesn't fall in love with the TCAT 1000.
Again, congrats Brian...... Another Green one to your list!

Put money down last night on a new 1998 Panther 440 for my wife.
Now I can unload one of my kids with her at least ;*).
$100.00 more money for the 1998 than a leftover 1997 with Cat cash.
Regards, Lance

| 629.10 | here kitty-kitty... | POLAR::KFICZERE | | Mon Mar 24 1997 01:23 | 12 |
| I took a '98 ZR500 out for a spin on thursday....awesome! I just can't
believe that this sled is a 500. The sled was studded so it really put
the power to the ground. I was told that this particular sled was
radared at 105 mph. I had it doing 99 on the speedo and it sure as hell
didn't take long to get me there! Fox shocks worked quite well when
pushed. I found myself in complete disbelief of my speed and looking
around for a bearing. This sled will eat XLT's for lunch. I am
currently riding a '95 sport (440/F), but have had many opertunities
this year to ride and compare this cat to. I think I just may be the
proud owner of a '98 ZL next year....what a rush!

Well Brian, I just got off the phone with Gene and I reworked the
original deal I had (my XLT & $1,800) for the Couger DLX. I bought
the limited pearl-white 600 effie (+ 96 studs and a cover).
So now Dawn will be boppin'around next year on 'White Lighting' !!!
Think she'll keep up on MAIN ST. ????? Hahahaha.
Gene also suggested I put in the screens on the hood of the ZiRt
to help combat the carb freezeup problems I had up in St. Donat.
Regards,
Chuck
