Winter, Carnal Urges, and Redlining
That same day, we saw this press release about Redline Snowmobiles. It's a good tale, worth a read, about how some enthusiasts are starting a company with cutting edge technology because they love the sport and feel that the money will follow their (superior) passion. Once, in PreJadedMOianDays, we felt the same. So, we say, bully for them.
Anyway, Editor Plummer's been downstairs in the warehouse all day digging out skads of plastic and carbon body armor, and looks like some freakishly padded Arthurian night wrapped in plastic-encased spandex. Scary, indeed. Now, to the point: After seeing Redline's upcoming 225 bhp "1300 Revlot" sled the power cravings in all of us here went ballistic, and it was decreed that: "MO will now cover snowmobiles!"
"But," protests Calvin, "we don't know how to ride a sled. We'll get mauled..."
"So?" Queries Plummer, "with 225 horsepower, it will be glorious!."
"Hmmm..." Minime, scratching is patchy goatee, assumes the ThinkingMan position (after falling off a boat, drunk, last weekend and breaking a bunch of bones, it's really the only position he can assume), "well, how hard can it be? We'll speed around way too fast for conditions, crash some stuff and pretend like we actually know what we're talking about. Not much different than regular days @MO..."
So, there you have it, a rare glimpse of the primate group "MO" and their ever-complex decision-making process.
