mezz is correct. Other definitions; 12 hours of repairs/3 hours of riding A 12 minute/3-mile Warranty Sooner of later we're gonna stump Mezz, but it hasn't happened yet.:sneaky:

It was called, "the snowmobile that liked to go straight", the early Ski Doo Olympique. If you wanted to turn you had to lean like crazy and hope the skis would bite. Our neighbors had one and from what I recall it didn't turn worth a hoot. Technically, it was a 12/3 Olympique. The 12 was the...

Yep, the guys in R&D were busy that year. You can see for yourself in the following ad.

Getting a later start today so we'll stay with Arctic Cat for Tuesday. The 1967 Arctic Cat was different from earlier models and other manufacturers in several ways. Name three features for the Cat in 67.

Mezz is correct. The transmission worked just fine, it was just too heavy and so was the price tag, almost $2,000 when other sleds were selling for half of that. Of course you get what you pay for, a cigar and cigarette lighter, oil injection, and your personalized name plate on the wood grain...

OK, we'll start off Monday with the following; Name the make, model, and year of the first snowmobile with an Automatic Transmission. i.e. No clutch or drive belt.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that, cycles too. AMF was quite the story, a huge company with tons of diversification which eventually caused their demise. They couldn't manage it all and many of their products suffered in quality. They were just too big and managed too poorly, eventually bought by a...

Here's hoping for an epic winter for snowmobiling and we certainly deserve one after last year. With a 4 Stroke in the garage, my preseason maintenance is at a minimum. I believe there's only 2 or 3 grease zerts on the entire sled and the battery's been on the maintainer all year. So yeah...

The bear wins on Friday! American Machine & Foundry Company or as we know it, AMF turned out the Ski Daddler beginning in 1967. Likely the only snowmobile with Turn Signals as one of their many features.

This company sold more than just snowmobiles. They also featured lawn and garden equipment, boats, bicycles, and bowling balls. What was the name of their snowmobiles?

John would be proud.

Correct! Complete with graphics resembling bullet holes.

Kind of somber today with the One Year mark of John's passing. So, I thought we'd try to brighten the mood with today's trivia. Does anyone recall John's first snowmobile and what made it unique?

November 14th, 2023 is a date that many of us recall as the day we lost our namesake, John Dee. Most of us learned the news on his very own website. Personally, for me, it took a day or longer to sink in. He was gone and we were still here. For most of us, our obituary tells the story of our...

Close enough, 1973 was the model year. "Look out Cat, Look out Ski Doo, Scorpion Stinger is comin through" was there slogan in 73. They had the Stinger and the Stingerette for the ladies. Most called it Pink, Scorpion called it "Midnight Sun Magenta". Probably not something the guys would like...

I was considered the first snowmobile marketed to the ladies. I had lots of chrome, shocks on the skis, speedometer & tach. and a slide rail suspension. Advertising included "the Total Dream Machine". My make, model, and year is.......

I think I finally stumped you guys so I'm going to give you a break. It was a purpose-built cross-country racer. They didn't do well on the ovals so they focused on durability and engineering and won the Winnepeg to St Paul 500 Cross Country race in 1975. Brian Nelson was the winner that year...

Hint; Dual Gas Tanks!

Name the 1976 Snowmobile that came with an optional twist grip throttle and dual gas tanks.

Yes sir, you are correct!
