LOL - we used to spend as much time pushing and pulling them then we did riding.They've come a long way in sled design since the last time I was on one.Last one i was on was a late 70's Skidoo. It resembled more of a block with skis
I remember bottles like that appearing on the front porch early in the morning. I liked the cream on the top on my porridge. Then we moved and to get cream we had to drive to a ranch somewhere with big jars. After that it was all from the grocery store.
These new sleds just don't get me going. They are FAST though. I bought a 2004 Yamaha Warrior last Feb, rode it 2 days on a trip the North woods Wi. Sold it soon as I got home. Too much sled for an old man, I ended up buying a 2001 Yamaha SX700R, much more to my liking.
And you are actually talking about last generation sleds. Today you can buy at the dealer a 200+ HP machine.
That's a SXR700. Wouldn't want a 200 HP machine, certainly can't use it on the trails I've rode in the North Woods. I had a 145 HP machine earlier last year. Had a 136 in track with 1 1/4 lugs. That thing was a handful. I'm 70 years old and had a terrible time controlling that big machine. My hands and wrists was killing me by the end of the day. My buddy is 75 and we have both lost our wives, so we decided to do the snowmobile thing again. We both sold our sleds about 20 years ago, and I thought why not do it again before we go. So we are.
They're on the small side, but someone could make some syrup from those....would look cool with some old style sap buckets hanging from them.
lol, It's pretty hard around here to find pails anymore. They are all 'piped' with plastic tubing to a central collection point.
