What was your first sled you rode on?

1972 Suzuki 250

Hit 30 miles an hour and it would start snaking hit 40 and it would try to spin out. Then I graduated to a 81 yamaha 440 ss with kangaroo studs and clutch kit. Would carry skis about 50 yards.

My First Sled I rode was a 1979 Yamaha 440 exciter. It was my Dads. Man I thought that thing was fast. It was also light and he kept it in Cherry condition until my brother and I got a hold of it. He also had a 1974 340 Artic Cat Cheetah with a kawasaki engine. He rebuilt that sled for us kids and we procceeded to destroy that one too.

Now I hava an SRX 700 and this sleds flys but is a B#tch when I get it stuck. Josh

My first ride was on a 1980 Yamaha 300 Enticer, but around that same time I was riding 1972 Scorpion, 1979 Scorpion LIL whip, 1976? 340 Enticer. My first sleds were 1983 John Deere 440 Sportfire and 1984 John Deere 440 Liquifire...now that sled could move! Not sure how accurate, but that speedo would read 106 on the lake!
 
My first ride on a sled was around 3yrs old. Hell, I remember holding on the the middle of the handlebars for dear life and from then on I was hooked.....oh yeah, the sled was a 1976 polaris tx 440. That sled was wide for its day and pretty fast...On the other hand, my first sled I drove was a 1976 polaris tx 250
