Hall of Fame Class of 2015 Includes Retired Executive, Dealers, Distributor & Key Supplier
MEDINA, Minn. (July 29, 2015) — Polaris Industries Inc. today inducted a retired executive, two premier dealerships, a leading European distributor, and a key supplier into the Polaris Hall of Fame. They were honored for their significant, long-term contributions to the company’s success during a ceremony at the Polaris National Sales Meeting held in Las Vegas.
The Polaris Hall of Fame was established in 2004 during the company’s 50th anniversary. Retired employees, Polaris dealers, and key material and technology suppliers have been recognized annually for their roles in the company’s growth and success.
“It’s our privilege each year to honor special individuals and partners like this year’s Polaris Hall of Fame inductees,” said Polaris CEO Scott Wine. “They have exhibited extraordinary dedication and commitment that has made Polaris a leader in the powersports industry.”
The 2015 Polaris Hall of Fame inductees are:
Bill Fisher: Bill Fisher & Family
Bill Fisher, who served as Chief Information Officer (CIO) from July 1999 to the end of December 2014. During this time, he oversaw significant expansion and dramatic upgrades of all elements of the company’s information systems. These enhancements were instrumental to the company’s significant growth during that period. From 2005-2013, Bill also served as General Manager of Service, overseeing all technical, dealer, and consumer service operations.
Don Ricke: Dave Ricke and Beatrice Ricke
Don Ricke (inducted posthumously) founded TEAM Industries, which since the late-1960s has been an invaluable supplier of suspension and driveline components for a wide range of Polaris vehicles. An engineer and manufacturing specialist, Don Ricke developed innovative solutions for the unique needs of clients such as Polaris. He was also instrumental in helping Polaris develop its first ATVs in the 1980s. Don Ricke died in 1997 and his family owns and operates TEAM Industries today.
Gene’s Powersports Country: Gene & Jackie Anderson, Brian and Jena Cummings and Chase Steptoe
Gene’s Polaris Country evolved from Gene and Jackie Anderson’s modest, suburban Houston, Texas, lawn & garden dealership into a Polaris Hall of Fame business with their passion for riding Polaris products, commitment to customer service, and by delivering on the slogan, “Ride Before You Buy!” Gene’s became a Polaris dealer in the late 1980s and achieved tremendous sales success with Polaris watercraft and off-road vehicles (ORV). The dealership is a leader in Polaris ORV sales, service, and engagement, meeting the needs of customers who use the vehicles for work, hunting, or mudding.
Triple S Polaris: Jack and Suzie Hubble, Myrlene Hubble and Chad Fischer + team
Triple S Polaris has become a leading Polaris ORV dealer in the Western United States through years of hard work and dedication by owners Jack and Suzanne Hubble. They grew their first dealership in suburban Salt Lake City through premium customer service and a deep engagement in recreational riding circles. They now serve Polaris ORV riders from their original store and a second dealership they opened in 2012 in West Haven, Utah.
Brandt-Polaris Oy, a division of Finnish powersports industry leader Otto Brandt Group, the country’s exclusive Polaris distributor since 1994. The Brandt-Polaris Oy division was founded in 2003 and has over 65 dealers in four countries, primarily in Finland. The team’s commitment to the Polaris brand and connection to its dealers has helped make Polaris No. 1 in Finnish ORV market share and No. 3 in the snowmobile business.
Black Rhino/RacerX Motorsports’ Jerett Brooks Battles At First LOORRS Race In Mexico
El Cajon, Ca.- August 7th, 2015 — Black Rhino/RacerX Motorsports’ athlete Jerett Brooks battles extreme course conditions in Mexico and walks away with two top ten finishes on the race weekend.
Had this happen to my 170. What do you guys think could have caused it? There is brake fluid coming out of the rear caliper from behind the brake pad. It’s a 2014, warrantable?
So it looks like the fine state of Michigan is once again going after the street legal utv’s. As of right now they have stopped the vin placement. I called the state and they said the process is in review and may very well come to a end. Said that if it does, those in the process will be contacted and will not receive their vin tag. I stress that anyone that can call your state Representative and fight the issue. Stress to them that small towns such at silver, Baldwin etc will feel the effects if this passes. Let face it, its the ORV community that keeps these towns on the map. If we dont speak up the state is going to run it right through.
Please help me out… I am torn between an RZR and the Honda Pioneer 700-4. They are both around the same price . The RZR is around 2000 more.
I like the Honda because you could fit 4 people on it and it seems like a multi-use UTV
Concerns:
Could it handle rocky uneven paths and steep hills?
I like the look of it, but it just doesn’t seem too fun to drive it feels more like a 4 x 4 truck then a ATV.
I like the RZR because it looks like a lot of fun, but I am not sure if it will be able to do some work with it at times.
Concerns:
Could I hook a snow plow up to it? I’m sure I could but is it not geared for it and would I risk damaging it.
Is it durable? I have always had utility quads and they could take a beaten and keep going. I never had a racing quad always utility. Do they break down more and need extra care?
