A childhood friend reached out to me on Facebook to share an old photo of us on our sleds that his older brother had taken. I'm on the Doo thinking that I am looking cool .

I'm guessing it's around 1985.

What ya got to share?

My dads sled in 1974 - If only I wanted to throw $8500 at something to sit on a shelf…

I have 5 of them siting on the shelf besides my 2 trails sleds.  It's a hard habit to break.

My now deceased Father-in-law and his first ever snowmobile a 1963 Cat, his only one, he thereafter became a lifelong Polaris rider, he rode into his late 80’s

Many early motors had that design. Yes Quebec built by Les Industries Bouchard.

They we’re tough as shit sleds before Bombi bought them.

I posted this video a while ago.

We used to ride the road as well. I think it was unplowed until the late 90s tor early 2000s. We almost always rode Base Road and Jefferson Notch every year in November or early December to break in the new sleds. Lot's of fun.

We used to drag race on that road in 03 so it had to be at least after that .

I had a 71 Ford Econoline that held 2 sleds and was our engine rebuild garage when we were on the road….lol

We used to put two in a Chevy van, later as they got longer just one fit then as they got taller forget about it, trailer time.

Won't let me post any, says files are too big.

Screenshot them and try posting the screenshots.

Not a very good pic, but my brother and I pretending we are racing on our ‘70 TNT 399 and ‘73 Tx 400.
 

Still have the Tx. 

This Coal Hill was just outside of Hancock back in the early 90's. 

My parents stylin' in 1979. New SRX440 for dad and an ET300 for mom. New matching suits.

Back on my early radar runs the 1976 SRX 340 which is a one year only sled was my problem child.  Very respectful sled that would be good in any collection.

Don't know how.

How can I remove past posts? Maybe that will allow more KB's?

Pulled out the 71 Mini Sno a few years ago.

Gettin way back for me, early ‘70s. My mother giving us and local kids rides around the yard. The old Olympic wasn’t around too long, but the caboose was.

Contributing Members get more space. Non-CM's are limited but I'd think you could still delete uploaded pics yourself albeit one at a time

Does anyone know how to do that? I've tried but see nothing that allows it.
