Don't know the man's name, they had him on the fone at the Snowmobile Hall of Fame Banquet tonight. He said he'd been riding Yamahas since a little boy and wanted to take a shot at getting this one. Perhaps when things settle down, I can get the guys name and where he's from. This year was a celebration of Yamaha with quite a bit of bling, pics and clothing being auctioned off. Some of the old Yami racers were in attendance signing things they donated for the auction. The $165M is being split between US and Canada for trails and safety. Will get more info concerning that as well.
