quebec bob Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 great set of TUNED PIPES on that Moto Ski. They were built right down the street in La Pocatiere, probably spelled it wrong!! I remember riding a 320 Olympic back in the mid-sixties, we thought it was fast, I think it was 18 hp. You needed a lot of tools to ride it for a day, amazing where we are today, traveling to another country to enjoy 250 trouble free miles a day.We have this great forum, high tech sleds, a 30k maintained trail system, with people all over the trail system working their tails off dusk to dawn hoping for our arrival, you could not have dreamed this back then, when we were just a bunch of kids annoying the neighbors with smoke and noise. 2020 will be the winter that will have many of us on this forum participating in this sport in 7 different decades, amazing!!

quebec bob Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 These triples were either 669s or 775s, probably 669's, Polaris also has some wild triples a few years later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quebec bob Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 You bet, these moto skis were basically orange ski-doos, way back then, the 669 was their first triple then they upped it to 775. We use to put them in the Elan 250 chassis, kind of like putting a v-8 350 in a chevy vega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
