1st sled i owned was a 72 Chaparral. Got in 2003. After working on it more than i rode it, picked up two Arctic Cats in 2005. A 03 Z570 & 05 Z440. So 3 is the number. Still ride the Chap now and then.

First machine was a 69 Arctic Cat Panther with a 297 cc JLO. The Gas Tank Leaked and Headlight would burn out frequently (at night- in the middle of the woods)

Next came a 71 Ski Doo Olympic. Vibrated so badly that it shook itself apart in 2 or 3 years. On one ride the muffler broke completely off the motor from vibration.

Took some time off to raise a family and pay some bills.
Divorce came along...paid some REALLY BIG bills.

A Polaris Indy was next in line with a 488 Fuji. Great Motor!

My current ride is a Ski Doo MXZ. I'm Good to Go!
Just pressure washed her this weekend before the Big Sleep for the summer.
