Welcome to FTE....Gorgeous place that Smithers.

Just still saddened the awesome seafood restaurant that burned many years ago, never reopened.
I always ate there on my road trips to Smithers.

I am self employed.
Have my own small shop in which I am the jack of all trades.
I do some welding, fabbing, pull wrenches, etc.

Although my specialty is building custom sleds from scratch, and hopping up 2 strokes be it natural aspirated, or boosted.

For hobbies i sled, boat, camp, fish, hunt, motorbike, read, and hang out with my wife, and 2 kids.

Do you have a website? I would be interested in seeing some of you work. Please don't tell me that you are a Cat guy?

No website, its on my to do list.
I actually started a thread about making a website a while back.

And yes, I ride cats.

Although I just recently sold a couple of my cats.
Am going to build myself a new mod this summer.

I want a low boost 1300 this time.

My last Mod i built for myself, and just sold was a mid range boost 900 cc sled.
It started as a M7, but when I was done, it was nothing like an M7.

Cats Rule, doo's drool I say....LOL

You are entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong, but Cat would be my second choice

I am teasing of course.

yes i do prefer cats, but what is most important is that you ride.

An usual outing with friends will have say 4 Cats, 4 Doos and maybe a poo or 2....Its rare for a yami to be along now that they went 4 stroke.
But occasionally one is along for the ride...I hate it when the yami guys get stuck, they are too heavy to pull out.

There is more Bigfoot sightings then Yamaha sightings around here. Last big group that I rode with was 6 Doos, 6 Poo, 2 Cats; but the Polaris dealer was there with some of his cronnies, just to sway the numbers.

This coming from someone that chooses to live in Smithers ?
Nothing wrong with Cats and anyones opinion is just as good as yours, it doesnt make them "wrong" as you state!

And I took it as such, and poked fun back.

The really cool thing about living in a free country, is we all get to choose what we want.

And the smartest people ride Cats...LOL
