Well in 1978 I was 2yrs old and my dad bought me my first snowmobile. A kitty cat for $200, big bucks back then. It was under the christmas tree. I don't think there was enought skin to cover my eye balls, I was excited. I rode it, my brother, my sister, cousins, and every other family menber. Too bad it didn't have an odometer! So yesterday I pulled it out of storage and dusted it off. Couldn't get it to run, so out came the wrenches. Ended up that the crank seal popped out. So in went a new seal and it fired first pull. Man alive, the look on my 3yr old's son's face (priceless). So, on with his helmet and snow suit and he was gone. He spent most of the day on it. Nothing better than your first memories of sledding and then seeing your son ride your first sled.
Thanks Dad

cey800... nothing like seeing your little guys rippin around on their own sleds and having the time of their lives!!! I will never forget the first time I got to experience Zac (my oldest boy of three boys) on his first ride on his new sled! He was 4 years old at the time.. 2001... He followed me on my quad all over the farm for over 3 hours before he hit his first tree at full speed... wish I had a photo of that but I don't

After a lot of tears, a bloody nose, an hour or two of wrenching, he was back at it and has never looked back!!

Here he is at 9 years old.
