First Sled I ever drove myself would be my cousins 440 Arctic Cat

My first sled to own is a 700 Yamaha Venture 2003... looking to find something different though.

 

[tasco]

don't know what year It was but the first snowmobile I drove was a 340 tnt. the first snowmobile I owned was I believe a 1985 Artic cat el tigre 500 liquid cooled sled.

I blolted on 1 inch plastic paddles, and I left me stranded south of fernie somwhere. Came back 2 weeks later and could'nt find it because it snowed more than 8 feet. Next spring some quader phoned me up claiming to have found my sled. I have some good and bad memories of that sled

Mine was a early 70 s model about 70-72 polaris colt 340 sled twin carb , the guy i bought if from couldnt get it started so he sold it to me for 100 bucks , the only way to start it was sprayin either in the carbs but boy once it started that sled saw hundreds of miles in the kootney mtns , and alots of crashes but kept running was the best 100 bucks i spent as a kid next to buying my frist truck to haul it around with, miss those days,
