Polaris 2010... what said anything about sitting still?

A.J. and I just got back from the Polaris 2010 new model intro. We were welcomed to their secret 125000 square foot R&D facility in Minnesota by a huge group of staff and were then given an edited version of the facility tour. Probably the biggest thing I took away from this tour was that Polaris is proactively working on new ideas, and almost MORE importantly, new ways to generate new ideas. And after seeing their new lineup, its working.

As usual, I cant tell you about what we actually saw just yet. The info is all embargoed for about a month or so. What I can tell you is that even though Polaris completely redesigned almost their entire ATV and Ranger linup last season, they didnt quite this season. A few things we saw made us go "yeah, good... that makes sense" a few made us go "FINALLY" and a few more made us scratch our head and go "huh?"... but not in a bad way.

The minute I can tell you about the new gear I promise I will.

Until then im going to leave you with a non ATV related pic. This is my dog, Timber. Today was Canada Day and, despite the on and off rain that lasted ALL DAY, there were tons of fireworks going off so he spent most of the day under my desk. I figured, if A.J. can put up a pic of his dog... so can I.

Also, check out taera's blog posting about this insect repelling clothing she tried on one of her recent excursions. I want some but she wont give any of it up. Which must mean it works, which just makes me want it more.
