Greasemonkey Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Sure wish we still had these two. 1975 Scorpion Btut 440 triple liquid cooled. Eary 60's Scorpion Trail a sled. Serial # 2 Edited May 25, 2022 by Greasemonkey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasemonkey Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) A little story on the old Trail A Sled. The big wigs from Scorpion got word of the sled my dad had and he ended up getting a free Scorpion Mach 1 sled for from them.( which was the biggest POS that my dad ever owned) We got a tour of the factory in Crosby Mn. and got the sled right off the assembly line. There was an article from Snow Goer magazine and I'm in one of the pictures. I was around 8 or 9 years old at the time. The last I heard is that the sled is in the Crosby fire museum but that was many years ago. My dad told me that if I could start it (8 HP Kholer) I could drive it. He didn't realized that I was determined to drive it. It didn't take me long to figure out how to start it. Back then, I thought I was king shit and rode the crap out of that sled. That picture is of my two sisters and me up at our cabin north of Duluth Mn. I'm in the middle.

Did a really nice job on it. Said you had to wear ear plugs even inside the helmet because the intake was so loud or it would give you a headache.

Greasemonkey Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 That Super Stinger right next to it was also a very fast sled. CCW 400 reed valve. Easily do 70 MPH, My neighbor bought one brand new when they first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
