hayward Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Nothing like coming together and knocking an even bigger hole in the ozone! Someone find Bhen and tie him to a chair with his eyes open to force him to watch this. He'll end up admitting himself into the nut-house. Good post! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Crappie Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I drove by there Saturday. Huge gathering with a ton of spectators. Looked like a great time. My kid may have been there with one of my old scorpions that he dragged out and got running but I haven't talked to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 3 Vintage clubs in this area, they go on many rides each year, 2 brothers that I know, one has +/-300 vintage sleds (all brands) the other has +/-200 (mostly Doos)..many are used for parts to keep the Vintage riders running as most parts are no longer available..

I can enjoy the vintage sleds/cars/whatever but I make no mistake about realizing what piles most were right off the factory floor. There's a huge vintage show here every year on the lake. My bud likes to restore them so we always take a couple of his for the short ride to the show. After judging and enough fatties stuffing their faces with brats and beer, there's a vintage ride. LOL....what a fucking shit show of broken sleds, parts and some that couldn't even run well enough to even attempt the short trip. One year the decided path was really chopped up. It was like a yard sale of vintage parts along the whole path. They now do it along a road so they can sweep up the busted shit easier.

XCR1250 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 We just had a Vintage ride here last week, 44 sleds showed up (The Relic RidersClub) I pulled one off the bridge with my ATV and know of 4 more which broke down, but they still had about 40 more miles to go for the day, was a 100 mile ride.

Still have a soft spot for them and yes, the RTXs were a huge leap forward design wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I like seeing em, but boy that old cat we had when I was growing up sure was a peice of shit. Fucking thing would break down within the first two hours of having enough snow to ride it, and till the parts came in and dad had time to fix it, it would warm up and the snow was gone.

Angry ginger Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 TBH i think some of them are cool and would look great hung up in a pole barn as decoration but no desire to ride one. I am getting a nostalgia bug these days for a square body so maybe my thoughts will change about sleds as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran it out of his transmission shop. They had distributors back then and if you didn’t like the 3 models out front he could drive over and get you one the next day from the distributor. We had a huge Scorpion distributor in the next town. They were popular around here cause if you needed a part the dealer would send you over. Good old days.
