I also have one of his bags (compact elevation). I've had mine also for about 10 years and no problems with the zippers or getting wet inside. I was one of the first to get the brackets that he offers for the Linq system.

Same here..... I breathe sleds 24/7 and so does my son. I don't have any other activities other than sledding, not that I couldn't but nothing compares to it. If I was to get a SxS it would have to be a UTV for our place up north. My wife loves the outdoors, especially during the summer...

I was in my senior year in high school. Brennan Marine in Bay City was going out of business and decided to skip school to check out what they had left. The only 73 Ski Doo's they had left were a couple of Elans, 1 Olympique 440S and a Silver Bullet 340. I was drooling over the Bullet, but...

It was either 2007 or 2008. I just bought a sled package which consisted of 7 sleds and parts from a guy who lived in the northwest upper corner of Iowa. My son and I planned when we could go get them. I live in Michigan in the thumb. We left our place with brown grass showing on the ground...

One thing that I encountered with HD is say you buy something and use a gift card for all or part of the purchase. They will not approve the rebate on that purchase. IMO, it shouldn't matter how you pay for it, it should be for the purchase. Also you have to make the purchase in the store...

Both newer sleds have been read for awhile, just need trail permits. We usually get them when we ride for the first time at the Store just down the road from our place. For vintage sleds, I have one ready to go, but the other one just went down to the frame, going to restore it. Hey gotta...

Went up to our place by Gaylord, MI and seen people riding, left today and there were people riding also. We had about 4 to 6" and it was still coming down. On I-75 by Frederic, there was a county plow in the ditch.

Depends on what Friday it was or a matter of fact any day. My dad used to work part time at the IMA auditorium in Flint. Use to go, I go with him to the events for free as long as it wasn't a paid event, like pay per view (boxing, banquets, that kind of stuff). Stuff that I did go to was...

That's the key right there. If you store your sleds in a trailer during the summer, a roof vent is a must to help get the hot air out and also to circulate the air. Many year ago, I stored my sleds in a 4 place enclosed trailer. During the summer, I would open the front and rear door along...

Never met John, but visited his site daily, loved reading his journal. Condolences to the Dee family

Thanks....... My 16 is the first sled that I've ever snow checked and the 2nd brand new sled that I've had. The last brand new sled I bought was a 73 Olympique 440s. I was a senior in high school and skipped school to go to a Doo dealer that was going out of business to see what sled they had...

My son and I will be riding our same sleds we have had since new, mine is a 16 MXZx 1200 and his is a 17 Gade XRS 800. We also have these to ride. The 72 T'NT 292 is getting restored right now, putting motor in this weekend, then just got hood to do (at painters). The 73 T'NT 294 is ride able...

If they couldn't get out they wouldn't be home, so it sounds like the kids didn't know what an elevator was or never taught that in school.

Yep... You had to use it for a certain amount of hours nightly (5 hours sounds about right) to get credit for the night. During a 30 day period you had to have a certain % (either 60% or 80%) of qualifying days or else your insurance will not pay for it. I turned it in way before the 30 day...

A c-pap machine is not for everyone and for those that successfully can use it that's great. I did a sleep study and was recommend a machine. We tried the mask, pillows, you name I tried it, didn't even make it a week and was done with it, felt like I was suffocating. I'm also a person who...

I have a 72 T'NT 292 and a 73 T'NT 294 that I purchased this past year to refurbish for riders, not show sleds. I do have the original shop manuals and part manuals that (71, 72, 73 and a couple others) I kept since I had my 71 Elan and 73 Olympique 440. I also have a photo of me when I was 12...

Said they are heading to Hay River

We came down though there on Tuesday afternoon from our place up in Jo-burg. Trail 9 up by the Au Sable/Parmalee was water in the corners with very little snow (more dirt showing), forget riding the road to cross the river to get back on the trail towards Luzerne. 968 where it crosses Zimowski...

I agree, got a 72 Chappy Firebird 400 SS sitting in the garage waiting it's turn to get done, always like the looks of the Chaparrals. Growing up the next door neighbor got a 74 SSX ,that he let me take a spin on, very nice sled. Your right about the early 70's being the haydays of sledding. I...
