800steve Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi Groomer, your relatives have better cold blood than mine. I get cold just looking at the clothes they rode around in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Love those old pics Groomer,got a few here from back in the mid 60s , one has my father sister and I. He would think nothing of going into the back country 20 or 30 miles on this machine and a sleigh solo with us, always had extra belts and spark plugs 😁. If it was a big trip, well two machines and snow shoes would do lol. enjoy RR groomer, vt_bluyamaha54, doonali and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a 800 cc Hearth triple with a set of Tilotsons in a '76 RV. The local club patrol was after me all the time and not trying to ticket me but rather they wanted me to work for them and patrol the trails with that sled.
