Hoping everyone had a good Easter and got to spend it doing the things you like to do on Easter Sunday. For me, a little shop time was on the list. A few more items are now missing from the chassis: Skis, spindles, steering link, oil tank, handlebars/controls, carbs, and dash. In the earlier...

Looking back at my original post, I did give the impression that it was an 82 and thanks for reminding me to clear things up. The sled is actually a 1980 but I like the color scheme better on the 82 model so I decided to go with that look. I didn’t even know Kawasaki made a red sled but a friend...

Don't think I'm in the George Barris league but I'm pretty sure I'll have to do some small parts fabrication on this project. That would be tough, his sled is perfect!

Happy Birthday Steve! I'm breaking from my usual Hamm's and raising a glass of creamy dark in honor of the occasion.

Amazing history of the flag. I can see why you're honored to be part of the continuing journey. It will be the experience of a lifetime. Congratulations!

My apologies for mangling the classic 60’s surfer expression but it seemed to fit. I figured I had to decide this spring whether to attempt another project and if so, what kind of project. In the end, I couldn’t shake my fascination with the Kawasaki. It is so different from anything else I...

I'm with you on seeing those big, healthy Walleyes. Beautiful fish! Very cool that you're working to increase the population.

Considering I sold my RMK this winter it would be nice to have one again, just in case we actually get a big snow year, but I suspect that cash flow needs would overrule that wish. Thanks Mezz, I’m kicking around some changes to the Kawasaki that aren’t big but would give it the look I would be...

Crazy how it could spend all these years at the bottom. Interior door panels still look nice and it looks like the hubcaps are all there :).

Seems like spring has arrived in some parts of the country but there’s not much evidence here. Got the 250 back together and since there is some snow left I decided to take it out for a short test blast. Still have a couple of things to check out and then I’ll have to decide if it goes on the...

Thanks Mr. Clark. We also caught and released some nice, fat, 20 - 23" slot Walleyes. These fish are eating well. My friend caught more slot fish but I managed to haul up not one, but two crayfish that grabbed my minnow and wouldn't let go. These things give me the creeps but the Walleyes...

Thought you fishing guys might appreciate this. After a two-year absence due to family medical issues, my fishing buddy was finally able to make a trip up so we hit the Canadian side of Lake of the Woods earlier this week for some ice fishing. The fish were hungry and we caught a lot of fish...

It might be a sickness but I love a good blizzard. It's been years since I've seen anything like what you're having in WI. Suppose I would feel differently if I lived in the U.P. :)

Gary, it’s remarkable that you were able to find such an amazing likeness, although, in fairness I think my quads have a little better definition. It does pay respect to the weight of having to make such difficult decisions though. FYI Whitedust, I could never hit a knuckleball :). Blade, wow...

I wouldn't mind having a mid-late 90's Polaris triple in some form, maybe an XCR, XLT or Ultra. Lot's of them available yet at some good prices. I have to stop checking Marketplace. I'm like a kid in a candy store.

I haven't said much about this sled on the site over the years so I will message you some info on it. Exactly. I don't see anything wrong with finally getting a sled you dreamed about, 50 years late :). And if you do get it restored, it's like having a brand new one. My advice would be that...

I knew I could count on you guys for good feedback. Some of my favorite things about these projects have become the conversations that occur along the way and the interest that has been shown in the sleds of yesteryear. I hope the website continues to operate because it has provided a unique...

The trails around here are bare in a lot of spots and barring a good 10 – 12” dump, we’re done for the year. Already thinking about what next year will bring. The real question is whether or not, I’m up to taking on another major project, both physically and financially, because I won’t start...

These are the riding days we all dream about.

Thanks Mark. Yes, there were a LOT of nice sleds on the rides and at the show. Paul, from the Boondock Inn, along with help from Dan (DWZ), and a few other volunteers, work hard to make this event happen and their effort shows in how smoothly it runs. On the ride the day before the show, I...
