Twins is a big boy, I hear he rides both. Kind of like the old (very very old) Ski Doo Alpine twin tracks.

He has a thing about twos, twins, pairs and such. Like a pair of drinks, one for each hand.

You guys are funny ...... all depends on the day who rides the "other one".

Everyone should have a back up sled ... you never know when you are going to need an extra sled :D

Yup spares are nice, I almost had one on saturday. After the 90 miles in single digits Cheryl said her's was for sale. But then that all changed on Sunday after she thawed out

Spares are good, but ....... Some need 'em, Some don't. :D

So twins, do you remember the Alpines?

I do and take it one step further ski-doo came out with a anniversary model called the Elan I drove one a couple of years ago what a blast ..... We did some bar hoping with it.

It had twin 121" tracks with an 800cc motor .... A guy in Old Forge bought one and pimped it out with custom paint and a kick azz stereo and some huge spot lights (kc day lighter type).

You're close, it was twin track with one wide ski, but waaaaaay off on the engine. The old ones were 18 - 20 hp and looked like this. This one has had some extra ventilation added in the front where the original pop-up headlight would have been.

Elans, well I bought one for Christopher when he outgrew the Kitty Cat. The 292 SS twin, now that was one hot Elan.

Next Quiz, ................. Ever ride a Huskie? Know what that one was?

Bonus Questions, ................ How much horsepower did the first year TomCat have? And who was the manufacturer of the monster motor that was in it?

Looks like someones been digging around in his barn showing his age :drink:

Not really, I just grew up with this stuff. The first sled my Dad bought was an Arctic Cat with a 7 hp Kohler 4 stroke. He was so taken by the new snowmobile deal that he took on Arctic Cat and sold them for years at the dealership in the early '60s.

No shot at the bonus question? I remember my Dad taking me to the dealership to see the new Cats when they showed up, and the Tom Cat was the new powerhouse, lit my eyes right up, big power :cool:. He wouldn't let me drive it, too much power for a young kid.

I did find a site the other night with an unbelievable amount of chit on all the oldie sleds. As you age taking an occasional trip down memory lane has it's benefits.

Not wanting to switch the thread from sleds to boats......but there was a flock of about 30 robins in Michigan today???? Apparently they didn't here that the ground hog saw his shadow

Right, why would anyone want to chat about boats on a boat forum. :rolleyes:

You ready for the anniversary festivities? :D
