anysledwilldoo Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Loved seeing the vintage pictures of the race sleds. Brought back memories of my 71 Alouette 340 with the stinger out the side. ran that sled for three years before stepping up to the TNT 440 free air. I thought that was the best that snowmobiles could get until trading for a new Blizzard 5500. So many sleds, where did the years go ? Thanks again for the memories. vt_bluyamaha54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi JG How did you make out for snow with this latest storm? We had snow and then high wind and rain here in Riverview. Overall I think we gained some snow but still very poor here. Looks like NW part of the province got lots! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
