I loved it! I don't get the hate... I have a cat. I love him. If I were rich enough or in the position to get a custom made jersey/pant gear set with him as the background I would totally do it. No cat lovers here, eh? I also have a dog. I love her too. She could also be on my gear and I wouldn't have a single issue with it.

PS. I like cats too. As a side dish.
2 dirt scooters. 1 doesn't even run. I just like to look at it....

That's amazing! Same with me. One runs and one is waiting for a rebuild.
How about posting a picture of your fine cat?

My wife and I are both "cat people". She loved the broadcast on Saturday. Marvin's gear, Mathilde, Ralph talking cats....easily the most interested she's ever been in a motorcycle race!

Sell that '05 KXF of yours it's not worth the rebuild. Worst bike ever made.

Someone should send cat pics with a Musquin jersey or sign next Saturday for the social media segment. We always see a bunch of dogs, time for a change.

This is what I've heard. I actually purchased it with the intent to learn how to completely rebuild engines. It's a tough decision. I could fix it and gain the learning experience, but I'll never get the money back I put into it. So I'm still deciding whether or not I want to sell it, part it out, or fix it.

Might be better/easier to sell it than part it out. If your intent is to learn you could always tear it down and put it all back together with the same parts. If it was me I wouldn't put any money into it.
Tear it down, learn as much as you can putting everything back together, sell it as is.
My brother had one. Was hard to start once it got hot. Parents dumped a shit load of money into it and it was stil a POS. When he did finally sell it we ran into the guy that bought it at the track and the poor guy was on the side of the track kicking forever to get it started. Brother showed him his trick to get it started. Meanwhile I'm on my '04 YZ 125 pounding laps without a care in the world lol.

I like cats, I also like porn. Doesn’t mean I’d run out and get bunch of gear with Jenna and Tori plastered all over it. Having said that, good looking cat, kNewc. Does he read? 
This little piece of work, usually takes about 2-4 days to quit “snotting” me, when I finally show up, down east. Only cat I’ve ever seen play fetch. Even bats the ball to us, if it’s not quite close enough. Most bizarre.

There's nothing more irritating than a bike that won't fire up after it's first morning run. Gotta love them old Bulletproof YZ 125s.

Thanks! He's a good looking Maine Coon. He was "helping" my wife with her school work. But yea, he's a little asshole too at times lol

His cat gear wasn't just a custom one off thing. Its part of Thor's Pulse Line. You can buy it. And I did. I didn't know at the time it was pictures of Marvin's cats though. Now it makes more sense.

Does anyone know if the cats on the Thor gear are actually Mathilde's cats or is that just some random piece that Ralph made up?

That really is a good pic. Cats sure can be a trip.
Of course I'm just joking about eating them and all that. I recently rescued a kitten that showed up at our house in Jacksonville. She was a sweetheart and I got really attached - really quickly. So did she. However, our little doggy was insanely jealous and started acting out. We placed her in a really good home. Found out later on from her keeper that she (the kitty) was deaf as a post.

Lol nice. I was thinking 2 but 3? You need a 4th to balance things out so they each have a friend.

I think the cats on the actual gear you can buy are just random cats but then Marvin had a buttpatch with 3 of their own cats? Or it might have been 3 cats on the helmet. I don't remember exactly.
