1972 SnoJet 433 SST, all the speed, handling and comfort you could ask for. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif kinda like riding a mechanical bull http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

i think this topic will get moved to the vintage.

*the first sled for me that i owned all by myself was a 1972 yamaha gp 292.

I had a chance to ride a 69 snowjet 250 ,71 nordic 399 , 74 olympic340, 75 olympic 340 and a skiwhiz which i don't know the date and which we transplanted the snowjet engine in. we also had part of a motoski which was turned into a motowheel for summer *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

My first and oldest sled i owned was a 1973 silver bullit TNT 294 that was my favorite machine i have ever owned. Till i got my new MXZ and dumped that one. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif * Ive riden an old olympiq i think the year was somewhere in the 60s

First sled I owned was a 71 Elan. *Saved all my paper route money for it. *First sled I rode was a 67 Silverline T-Bird that my dad bought just after the great blizzard of 67.

tnts4me,
*that is neat saving up your paper route money for the ultimate thrill of your life. in canada i think the kids that had a paper route and wanted a sled had to sell drugs too. LOL *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

It took me almost 2 years of saving and got a good price at that time on the sled. *MSRP for it was $595 and the dealer let me have it for $520. *$75 was alot of coin back then especially 14 year old. *I wonder if me coming into his showroom daily had something to do with it? *But than again it was on my route so had to pass it. *Out of all the sleds I have had. *I have to say the Elan was probably the one I had the most fun with. *Saved up and bought a tach, speedo and snow flap for it. *I was putting almost 3k it a year. *Ran like a top. *The only probelm I had with it was the fuel inlet on top of the gas tank was plastic and Doo had a problem with them plugging up. *Put a metal one on and that solved it. *Only other thing was the gas cap rubbed again the hood and started a spider crack. *I grinded the cap some so that the part I grinded faced forward and solved that one.

My Dad brought home our first sled in a snow storm, 1965 Sno-Cruiser. OMC manufactured I believe. Wasn't much at 16 horse but fancy for the time.
