Found this in a store on Oahu yesterday. I bet the vast majority of people that see it have no idea what it is.

A little project diversion here. Finally picked up this little beauty today. Looks like the 2027 project is locked in. Long drive, but it was worth it. Nothing like that new sled smell. Gotta love the free-air sleds.

A couple of questions here; What Is It? Without graphics, I can’t tell. Those handlebars look awkward, kinda like those on the bicycles of the 70’s. Anyway, glad to see you’ve got something to keep your head in the game for another year and congratulations on a new member of the family! We hope the Mrs. approves of another “rescue” at the table.

Sorry Gary, i guess I was a little short on details. It’s a 1980 Kawasaki 340 Drifter F/A, a one-year build sled and the only free air sled Kawasaki ever produced. The bars probably do look a little goofy but they feel right when you’re sitting on the sled. Kawasaki did take a page out of the bicycle book though and mounted the bars in a block…Read More

Tell your Mrs. all of us on SnowTrails appreciates her support. For you to rescue an old snowmobile that’s been abused and left alone in an old barn is admirable on your part. A little TLC, and a case of Hamm’s will go along way in bringing her up to speed on “Kelly Time”.

handlebars remind me of John Deere snowmobile handle bars

It’s in pretty decent shape! 2 Kaw’s in a row, you’ll be in the groove when it’s this ones turn. Nice!

Yeah it’s weird, considering Kawasaki wasn’t even on my radar a year ago and now I have two. The Drifter F/A is a unique animal. I’m thinking the windshield was an option. The shop manual I got with the sled shows it without one. Personally, I like it better without. I don’t think I’m even going to have to touch the hood, unless I want to add…Read More

I found this photo over on Bookface. Not much for graphics is there?

No, just a tiny “Drifter F/A” decal on the side. I think I mentioned this before, but it’s interesting that a windshield must have been optional. I’ve seen several photos now of this sled without one, including the cover of the shop manual.

Menasha had the worst of it. Curfew in place, no water, no power, etc. Neenah with less damage with a lot of trees down and debris everywhere. Neighbor next door lost a tree, no damage to ours. Lucky I guess! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIeXSUXJ84A

Prayers for all. Can’t imagine going through this type of disaster.

Wow, I had no idea it was that bad over there. Not something I want to ever experience. Sounds like there were no known fatalities. That is a miracle.

No doubt it was bad but definitely could’ve been worse considering how far it traveled. Miracle no one died… Praise Lord🙏

Yep, at least part of that is true. Thinking I waited a little too long to own one.

We had family visiting for the Air Show in Oshkosh last week and I took a day off to show them another of our local attractions. In the second photo, mowing the grass at Lambeau.They use four walk behind industrial mowers. I would’ve thought they have some big Zamboni type, but nope, they mow the grass the same as you and me and not one dandelion…Read More

Correct me if I’m wrong. Are the seats getting smaller as our butts are getting bigger?

You ask me one of the best if not the best color combos for MY27. I will be keeping an eye on cat to see if there quality gets better and perhaps a new updated rear suspension.

One of my earlier sleds had an unpainted tunnel, just polished aluminum. Scuff marks from my boots were evident and impossible to remove. I’m wondering if the same occurs with this AC. But, yes, that’s a really sharp looking machine, very much so!

Eagle 1 I take it you know the lakes pretty well on that body of water. I have lost more than a couple of props trying to follow the buoy’s on this lakes. The wold river is a nice body of water for boating.

A drunk man comes home late. His wife sees him and angrily exclaims, “Are you drunk again?!”
The man shakes his head and answers, “No, I am not drunk!”
“Okay, then prove it. There’s a clock over there. Can you tell the time?”
“Of course I can!” says the man.
He turns toward the clock and yells, “Hey! I am not drunk!”![Profile Photo]()

Had the Johnson version. Tough machine and it fit three of us on it but it was pretty tired and top speed was just over 15 mph. I’ll agree with the 60 pounds lighter claim. My dad had a 67 and I swear it had to go 600 lbs. It would pull his aluminum beaver trapping boat through the woods and across dry land, no problem.
