Started with a used 89 Yamaha Ovation 340, Best windshield ever, you could push it to the dash and it would just pop right back up, perfect for a 12 yr. old who had ploblem's keeping it upright.
Blew that one up, Got new 94 440 indy liquid. Should have never got rid of that little red rocketship
98 600 xc
college
98 700 xc
2002 700 Rmk
2009 800 Rmk, Rode 40 mile hit rockpile totaled
2009 800 Rmk paid $800 more than the one 40 miles prior, amazing what snow on the groung does for the price of sled's!!!
2011 Assault Switchback 144
2014 Assault Switchback 144, Sno-check, Red skinz boards, Red bumpers, can't wait to see it at the dealer's tomorow

Well, I think that about covers it. When I was a kid we would take our family vacation to West Yellowstone for a week between Xmas and New Years every winter...Shoot, I remember when you could ride off the trail IN the park, I think.. It was a pretty cool life, and it definitely stuck....

I have been on sleds my entire life. My dad and I used to race and he used to run a couple dealerships. So some years I had 3-4 different machines depending on who was looking for what. Ones that I could call my own were:
'81 kitty Kat
Sno scoot
'71 élan
'77 lynx 2000/S(still own)
'92 Indy 440 long track
'94 xcr 440 special
'95 xcr 440 special
'96 xcr 440 special
'98 xcr 440
'99 MX z 600 long tracked
'01 mx z 700 long tracked
'02 sno pro 440
'02 zr 600 144" mod
'03 mountain cat 800 141"
'03 mountain cat 900 151"
'04 f7 ext stretched to a 159"
'04 730 sno pro mod 144"
'06 m7 153" custom
'08 m6 153"
'11 m8 ltd 162" custom
'13 800 high country
'13 proclimb 800 ltd homemade prolite
'14 proclimb 800 162" ltd
Started collecting vintage cats a few years ago and have a building full of mid to late 70's sleds. And know with kids the garage includes a kitty kat and a z120.
Watching the original snow motion video the other night brought back a lot of late 80's and early 90's mod sleds that my dad and his riding buddies built. I remember lots of triple pipes and aluminum and plastic paddles. My favorite of his was a '93 Indy wide track with a 20" x 156" with 2" plastic paddles lightened up with a full mod 750cc storm engine. That thing was a mountain goat on steroids for its time. We always had some kind of mod around.
