Olivetroad Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 That looks like fun just waiting to happen! We don't get enough snow here to justify having one. But we travel up north every few years just to do some sled riding - thanks for the pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I was just up in the U.P. of Michigan a couple of weeks ago.There was a race with all vintage sleds in it,somewhere up there.You would have liked that,U model.My uncles used to sell and race Sno Prince snowmobiles back around 1969-72 in Wausau,Wis.My first sled was a '68 Arctic Cat Panther w/ a 600 Hirth 30hp motor.When it ran, it was fast.But when it got stuck in deep snow,you needed something with a Holmes 750 on it,to pull you out! It weighed a ton! Had a'67 Panther w/300 Hirth single and finished up with a '77 Polaris Colt SS 340.My favorite machine of all because it rarely needed anything but gas/oil and miles of open trail.Sold that one in '83 while in the ARMY.
