Mag6240 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) 92 Indy 500 SKS - As @Bontz said, I was mooching off the old man until that one. My kids I used to have are doing the same to me! But I don't mind, I enjoy spending time with them. Edited April 15, 2021 by Mag6240 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziemann Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 My Dad always had sleds around for us when we were growing up. The first sled I purchased with my own money was a '84 Ski-Doo Blizzard 5500 MX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First sled I bought once I was out of the nest was a year old 97 ZR580efi. Rode it for two seasons and sold it for what I paid for it. Then didn't have a sled or ride again until 2018. Based on my 97, Cat was my first choice, narrowly edging out a Pro Ride Indy SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I was really fortunate (well, honestly I was spoiled) back in the 80's and early 90's because my uncle always had two sleds ... a current year Cat and a previous year Cat. So when we'd go up to the cabin he'd bring both and I'd get to ride one of them. Being 12, 13, 14, 15 years old and riding that new stuff was absolutely addicting. I remember going from our John Deere to my uncle's '86 Cougar and thought I was the freaking king of the world. A couple years later, I was on a 650 Wildcat (well, my uncle was .. but he let me ride it quite a bit one weekend). Those sleds transitioned to the EXT's and ZR's of the 90's and then I kind of missed out while I was in college. My dad started buying the 1-year old sled my uncle would typically trade in so it was nice to have something on the rare occasion I could ride during college. When I got out of school and settled in with my wife, that's when I pulled the trigger on the ZR. And so the sickness began .... LOL I think I paid something like $5500 for that ZR and maybe around $8K for my Firecat? Hard to believe it's now basically 2x the price .... but addiction has a price, I guess!
