What was your first sled?

[snobuilder]

Wow, snobuilder and I might be the same age, (provided that you were in 8th grade in 1970)

First snowmobile was a 1974 Columbia 440 fan cooled back in the year 1980

LOL...Those Columbias were the kings of metalflake

The first sled I became aware of and rode was a 1974 Panther 399 in 1978.

My 72 Lynx had Estart

 

[slimcake]

Man I thought I responded to this. 1980 Polaris tx 340. Smashed it up good as a kid. Was my introduction into wrenching. And fiberglass I guess... Anyway found a nice guy that had a rare 1980 tx-c 340 in very good shape and he was willing to sell it after hearing my story. So now I have a twin to my first sled. To go along with my first car.

How about my third sled , 1980 srx

My younger brother bought a new 1980 SRX, it was hard on belts and my Centurion could take it.

 

[600_RMK_144]

First sled I personally bought became my site name - (2008) 600 RMK 144". Rode older Indy 500s for several years prior that my father-in-law owned, but were basically mine to ride. He made me a loyal Polaris owner. Currently on a (2014) 600 Pro RMK 155" others include: (1992) Indy Lite Deluxe (e-start) 340 for the kid, just upgraded him to a (2019) Indy EVO 550 stretched to a 136". Hoping to sell the 2014 for something new this coming season. Really a fan of the 600s, but they are getting harder and harder to find in long tracks. Will settle for a 800 if I have too. LOL!

 

[rp7x]

Hey bear , mine was new also and yes it ran about a 100 miles on a belt drank oil faster than I drink beer , I think mine was the fastest sled I’ve owned

You like tanks? Is that the trend? JUST KIDDING!!!!!

I rented a 1999ish Mountain Max in The Black Hills several years ago and really liked it. Buddy that was with me loved it and is still trying to find one cheap to buy.
