When was the last time a 1971 800 King Kat was inside of Arctic Cat? Probably the fall of 1970.

Arctic Cat collectors Tom, Nancy and Brianna Ische delivered their original '71 King last Friday, for display in the lobby until the 50th Anniversary. Like all machines in the Ische Collection, this Cat is a stunner!

Thanks to sledRacer.com for sending it to me.

Anyone seen my ZR600? I put the rattle-cans to it and now I can't find it.

A handful of weeks ago Arctic Cat sent their dealers a document listing the estimated dry weights of their pre-production 2012 snowmobiles. Instead of shouting the numbers from the rooftops for all to hear as they should have done, they kept it quiet.

I think I know why.
