    I had a 1978 RM 125 at the time... exactly like the one pictured..... Loved that bike.   I think I paid $900 or $1,100 brand new from my paper route money.

Gees, I was 15. I was riding a '73 Ski-doo 292 Silver bullet in the winter and a '78 Yamaha DT100 enduro in the summer.

I had several cars and 1 truck including a 1969 Nova SS

Sleds, a 1978 & a 1979 Kawi 440 Invader

Damn.... that's really jogging the memory. 

 I think I may have still been driving my first car, a 1968 Beetle or might have gotten my 1980 Toyota late in 79. Not sure, I know I was driving it to school when I graduated in 1980 .. but it was exactly like the one in pic except I had extended cab. It was my first brand new vehicle and one of the first Trucks to come out with a lifted appearance and decent ground clearance. I off- roaded that thing all the time.  Got stuck in a reservoir once and was late delivering papers on my paper route.   My Dad nearly kicked my ass when I came home with the "New" truck loaded with mud and late delivering my papers too.:lmao: He definitely had a way to make me very responsible which has followed me my whole life.

  As far as sleds..... I don't even think I was riding then but my first sled was a 1978 Arctic cat El tigre... Like the one in pic.

I look at it as we have more years of fun.

I remember riding a few sleds back in the day and they were humongous pieces of shit. I would say sleds sucked until the mid 90s.

Shallow as a mud puddle.....

I'm the kid driving a new 1979 white Corvette to prep school.... great for gossip....

Sled was disappointing..... Yes, a brand new (in 1973) Yamaha SW433B..... It's a hand me 👎 down... In white / red to match the car.

Sucks to be poor
