leech~~ Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Fun tune up day, even though its 80! Remember reaching that point in your life where you can do just about anything you want, like buying your old first snowmobile again? Well I'm not there yet, I was just asking you!

fishingstar Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I would love to own any of my first sleds. First sled 75 Rupp 295 sport got it in 5th grade for Christmas. This one is the first one I bought. 1974 Brut LC44 tough to keep this one running. Third was 1975 Rupp Nitro 440 Free air. Bought this on to drag race. I went to vo-tech for motorcycle and snowmobiles. I worked and learned a lot how a two stroke motor works also how to make them fast.

First snowmobile I had was an early 70's 340 Arctic Cat. Our farm neighbors had Rupps and everything else over time. I know one of the older boys had a Nitro 440 and They had another one that I think was a 340 or something like that. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupp Nitro's were one of the sleds to have back then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 How about any Scorpions? Those were my Dad’s favorite. Super Stinger 440. As a kid that had to ride with him sometimes, I thought I’d eventually die on those things! Mike89, leech~~ and fishingstar 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Haydays drag actually calls it "Memory lane" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
