This is a great fun family event…Ride at your own risk….
AND…PLEASE…PLEASE…drink responsible!!!

I am bringing a '73 ski doo silver bullet 294 to the vintage ride. Maybe a '71 250 'elan and '76 340 olympique too if I can get them running. There's a '68 399 Olympique and a '74 Harley Davidson 440 in the barn too that haven't been run for 20 years, we'll see.....

Sounds like fun. Maybe I should start looking for something vintage? :thumbup:

I also added this event to our [URL="http://www.snowsafari.com/calendar.php? ... 2&e=59&c=1"]calendar[/URL]. :coolcat:

I have a '76 Massey Ferguson 340 Whirlwind at home that I would love to bring. However, being in college in Milwaukee at MSOE, I wont be able to make it this year.

The Massey is in pretty decent shape, its what got me into this sport, I got it for free, got it running, and put 600+ miles on it the first year I owned it... , lets just say that my back could tell that I had put that many miles on it too.... :sick:

I put around 100 miles on it last winter and registered it in the Balls Beater Run around Lena, WI. It died on the trail while riding, bought a new coil and it runs like a top.

Is this an annual event or going to be an annual event, because I would definitly be interested next year! Keep me posted!

my bro just got done fixin up the ol polaris mustange thats been sittin in the corner of the garage for 8 years or so:thumbup:we thought we would take that and the ol polaris tx down to the red arrow bonfire this year [its only a few miles from his house]. Drive them from townsend to laona and then to jonnies and back:eek: I dont know if they would make it when they were new in the 70's:lol:I'm sure we would have a shot at winning the bad-luck breakdown prize:biggrin::biggrin::winterrules::letitsnow::thinksnow:

I will have two 1970 Evinrudes, a 1970 Johnson, and possibly a 1968 Sno Prince if it cooperates with me.

Would a Raider be accepted at a funtion like this??

Evinrude bobcats???:king:

anything older than 1980 is eligible to compete for prizes. Bobcats, Raiders, you name it! I am sure the 1985 sleds would be welcome to ride along too
