Great pics guys brings back some of my memories. We were riding Valemount Allen Creek just around the cabin on 1979 ET 340 back in 1980. Boy how times have changed.

MB1.. glad you brought this thread back to life :) I'ts too fun to see the old shots of us guys on the old sleds. Got more??

I'll have to call my Mom and get her to take some more pics of the pics....lol. It's funny that back then my uncles indy 440 was the most wicked sled I had ever seen.....and I didn't see a track longer than a 121 untill I was about 14.

A few years back. Great sled!!! I'll try to find picks of my real early years. Cat guy on a Doo....go figure.

Duane... I now now why you're a Cat Guy:d Back in '81 my older brother thought he would "One Up" all the rest of us (all the rest of us being his brothers and cousins who all rode '81 el'tigre 6000's) and buy a '82 Blizzard 7500. The first trip to Radium, Forester, was his last with that sled. The thing would littery auger it self into the snow when off trail. Could'nt float or stay on top of the snow. It looked cool though. Don't have any pics of it as it was only around for a month or two. He sold it and picked up another '81 el'tiger.

The good ol' days :d Pics form 1985 Radium.

That Ext is older than 93. I had a 93 it was a 550 with a long track 136" lol with green ski skins and green 1 1/4" paddles. that one looks more like 90 or 91. The 93 had a shorter front end and looked more like the wildcat 700.

I will see if I can find pics to take pics of lol.

I agree with Toyboy, that EXT is a '91. The '93 cat's were different, all new back then :) I remember them well as I was saving up for one in those days... see attached pic of the '93 ...

The first pic is the sled that started it all for me, a 89 tundra LT, 2nd is a 91 indy lite and a 91 indy 400 the 400 was the best sled I ever owned, dad sold it to me with around 8500 miles on it and I sold ot to my brother with about 12000 miles on it and when he sold it it was close to 14000 miles, and believe it or not the engine was NEVER overhauled and would still tach 8000 rpm.
Third pic is my uncles 91 indy trail's and my aunts 91 indy lite. 4th pic was taken infront of Alexander Graham Bells mansion back in my home town, and my dads 97 XLT limited in in the photo along with my old 95 indy lite that my brother bought from me.
5th photo is my 97 XCR 600.
6th photo has my moms 96 indy trail.
The vintage forum is a good Idea this post promped me to look for these old photos so I could share with everyone, Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Found this old thread! Let's re-ignite it........here's my 340 Enticer, along with my brother's 340 Enticer. We got these for ditch bangin' and to bring back some good'ol memories of childhood. If this is the thread that started the "Vintage Section".......Thank You!!!!

Question for ya'! Would these things make it @ Cataract Creek?? They both run extremely well right now.
