Made my first trip up to the (9th annual) Copper Harbor Antique Snowmobile Run-For-Fun this year. This is really a three day event: two different vintage rides, backwoods bonfire & cookout, sled show and awards, and a whole lot of hanging out with vintage sled fans. The weather added an...

Snoluver1 gave me authorization to post some pics of the recent WY trip (a decision he’ll probably come to regret). We were hoping for some fresh snow by the time we got there but that didn’t happen. The trade-off was that it made for some spectacular scenery under bright blue skies. Over the...

Hopefully some of you made it out to Waconia today. If you haven’t been there, you really owe it to yourself to make the trip at least once. Even if you think you’re not a vintage fan, you might be by the time you leave. The sleds are everywhere and unlike the summer shows, people are riding...

I know some of you out there have one that you’re planning on getting done before the snow flies. It’s still a little early for me but I’m posting this in hopes that it will make me accountable for progress (or lack thereof) on this sled before next winter. Lots of work to be done – I’m no...

I don't know Gary. First you're off-trailing and now a hint of interest in the vintage world. Should we be concerned? It really doesn't look too bad but as Snoluver1 said, I would offer around $100 if you decide that is the way to go. I can tell you from experience though, they look a lot...

Hello JD Members and Guests, Any other year I might not have started a thread such as this but being that the some of my riding this year took on a new look I decided to share some things from the first winter with my new old sled. I figured that maybe some of you would enjoy the story...

The Beltrami is desolate enough (and spooky enough) to believe he could be hiding there. Carrying backbacon as a snack is not recommended. Which reminds me, the only sledders we saw over the two days was a group of three guys from Ontario that rode across the river into the U.S. Guess they...

No question that many areas are feeling the winter love this year. Far northern/northwestern MN is no exception. Just got back from riding Lake of the Woods and Northern Beltrami Counties on Mon/Tues and the snow was impressive.</SPAN> Due to visibility issues on Monday we decided to forgo...

This was really a treat to see on the trail. We had a pretty long stare-down. I blinked first. Saw a big timber wolf earlier this year but the coolest thing I've seen was just last weekend - a red fox with black fir (yeah, I know, that probably makes it a black fox but the under-fur was...

Couple More A few more from closer to the big lake

Love these guest shots - best work avoidance strategy I've found. How fast conditions can change! Posting just a few shots of a recent trip to the Keweenaw. Took the RMK for a little off-trail and the TX for trail riding LOL. Great treatment for the Lack of Snow Blues.

Couple more my favorites. Nice flamed old school merc. The Panther was really sharp, chrome pipes and all. The guy with the Charger and the cutter was back again this year. He gets my vote for the loudest pipes. Pretty sure that 530 pan exhaust could start a grass fire. Have some other...

For jr37 Made it out to Waconia for a few hours today. Knowing jr's fondness for Scorpion, it's too bad he couldn't make it. They were everywhere in all shapes, colors, and models. There's a lot to like about Waconia: It seems to be well run, parking is close, vintage sleds that people...

Cottage Grove, MN - On the local trails 12/31/2012. It was a good day. Whoops, posted in wrong thread. Not the last mistake I'll make this year.

To a lot of you this may be old news but I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed which might explain why I had problems with this installation. In any case, I wanted to share my solution in hopes of sparing some other poor soul the frustration. Having not owned a Polaris for several years I was...

The Man and His Machine I’m sure he will get even with me, even if it takes the rest of his life, but I thought the time was right to make one last post and put a face on this project. There aren't many photos of this fellow but I happen to have one. I plan to hoist more than one Hop City...

Nice Shots! I've used a sled photo that I got from Gary for a long time but I finally switched to this one. I don't know how I missed posting this in the "First Sled" thread. I think my daughter was about four at the time.

First “His and Hers” sleds: My 72 Skiroule RTX 440 and my wife’s 72 Chaparral SSII 400. Also pictured: My brother’s 72 400 Charger.

Mr. Snoluver1, you forgot this one.</SPAN> I love these photos. It’s a different experience for sure but there is just something special about climbing on one of these vintage “snow machines.” It looks really good on the snow. Agree with Doospunk, nice job men!</SPAN>

Strange indeed... Found a Contour mount that has a little more height which should let me mount it a little further back on top of the helmet to clear the modular shield. It's a little goofy looking and I'll have that Marvin the Martian look going on but if it gives me better video, it's worth it.
