Reports from Hell indicate it froze over when I actually drove a Ski-Doo for the first time and loved it. That’s Jerry to my right, wondering if letting me ride his sled was such a clever idea.

Let’s see… the last time I had this silly of a grin on my face was 2000 when I got to drive Doc Jim’s 1972 800cc Starfire.

I still think I’m dreaming, but Jerry McGee actually let me rip around on his 74 Ski-Doo SnoPro! Not only my first time riding this year, it was the first time my butt has been on a yellow sled, and I get to ride the best one they ever made.
It was a really slick introduction to the Bombardier family. My never ending thanks to Jerry for a once in a lifetime rip around lake Waconia! Jerry one his class with the sled, also won the award for furthest traveled. Paul Rioux also got to take a ride… and made a point out of driving through Arctic Cat alley.
Got some great photos Jim Dimmerman and the one and only Cat twin-track 1981 SnoPro, and got a killer story out of Larry Coltom over lunch.
Thank to the Bull Sessions, I was handed a rare decal I needed by a total stranger for a sled I’m restoring. God Bless Waconia.




Mark Kemmerer (you may remember him as owning the stunning original condition Yamaha SSR) found some new treasure. He snapped this photo this morning after walking out to the shed three times just to see if it wasn’t a dream – and he got it for FREE! Mark recommends getting to know your local sanitation engineer. They come across this stuff all the time. Mark’s local sanitation expert found this excellent 74 El Tigre and just like that, it was at Mark’s house. It’s still out there!
