You bet it does! I didn't know you still had the Yamaha.

Well HECK YEAH it does!! 
That Yamaha died in 2004! LOl. I picked this one up a few weeks ago, $1150 I had to clean the carbs, twice, and do a few other minor things, but it runs awesome now. It will be my trail burner here at home.
Sweeeet!

I approached this forecast with my usual skepticism. The weather locals were using terms like "Snowami" and "Snowmagedon" but it really did keep coming down. I would bet we've easily surpassed last years total.
I know nothing about grooming but this seems like the perfect snow to build a trail base. Heavy and sticky but not sloppy. If we get the cold and wind that is forecast, it should set up like concrete.

Hey Skiroule, I'm not sure which one I'm more jealous of, the TX or the Pro? I'm thinking your just gona have to let me try 'em both, so I can come up with a solid answer.
Not that I don't trust you, but I'll have to sleep on that one. I'll tell you though, the old school stuff is pretty dang fun. I told my wife that I was going to pick up a metalflake Bell bucket for my head (2 sizes too small, of course). She just gave me that look.

skiroule,
Love the TX! I had a 1976 TX 250 when I was about 14. Just the sound of the sled brought back lots of memories. I would love to find a nice TX like that some day

Sounds like a good deal and a good idea. I've even been looking for an older/cheap RMK that I can use off trail with rp7x once or twice a year. I'd like a vintage sled too!

Thanks mspease. They do have a great sound - kind of like a top fuel dragster. You'll get one eventually. They can be found. Lots of repro stuff available too.
Hope others will post accounts of their first ride. Mine was one minute, sixteen seconds long but I couldn't believe how good it felt to be on snow. Man it's been a long time!
took the M out around the house jumped it at the school sledding hill got the thumbs up and lots of jumping from the boys sledding.
took out the F8 and more or less drove right down the street for about 30 mi love it when they just don't plow.saw more sleds running the road than cars this afternoon.
pulled in to the gas pump it was like a reunion of sorts 3 guys I have ridden with from time to time all there to fill up all just came on there own and we took off together.hooked up with my bud at the stop light and had fun.
