Here are some pics of mine all are unrestored originals except the Ski-Whiz, I ride them every winter. Sportfire and Ski-Whiz have electric start, XLT has 500 miles and reverse

As kids we rode a 78 ET 250 everyday after school and on weekends.... when chores were done of course. The thing i would really like to get my hands on is a harley davidson. The blue and white. Dad had 2 of them and I would really like to find one

444? I think that was the first L/C in 1978

I have a 78 Everest 444 and I think the Futura is the Moto-Ski version?

Yes moto ski version. Not 444 its the 467 cc I believe liquid cooled 464 engine type. Snopro figured in that 55-60 hp range.
