I said real sleds. I run doo now.

Yes you did and I replied according to what most people see as real sleds. I'm so sorry for your infliction.

Great photo, thx for sharing it. That older iron sure had character (it needed it, cause they had no suspension, and really weren't that great in deep snow.) Sure was a lot of fun though...if you idea of fun was working on a sled in the dark with frozen hands - Come to think of it, we were still doing that same thing in the 80's and early 90's LOL
