In keeping with Gary’s mindset: Have to love these things. A guy a couple of hours from me in Northern MN is making these custom-made backlit signs. He will put any sled you choose and sign content. Very cool. Thinking this would be a great Christmas present from my wife. Would just have to decide which sled to use.

Kelly do you mind sharing his information? I would be interested in purchasing one. I can’t wait on the wife I would never see it.😂

The fellow’s name is Shane Chapman on FB. He lives in Newfolden, MN. He operates his business under his name. You can try sending him a PM referencing his sign products. If he doesn’t respond, let me know and I will contact him and find out the best way to get in touch with him. I have done some business with him on sleds.

For better or worse, this is the initial installment of the build series. I hope you all will find it interesting.
While it isn’t my plan to cover the various builds in any particular chronological order, I thought I should lead with the sled that really kicked the restoration journey into high gear: a 79 TX 340. I bought this sled in the s…Read More

Going back through old photos, I did run across one of it mostly torn down. I don’t remember doing any body glazing on the tunnel but I guess I did.

Kawasaki guys keep telling me they wish they had an Interceptor (the sled on the cover photo) so I did a little reading. Quite the sled: Liquid cooled engine with twin pipes and four spark plugs. Kawasaki made exactly 601 of these sleds, only for the 1982 model year, which makes them pretty spendy to acquire now. In fact, if you ever see one…Read More

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

Awesome photo! I doesn’t get more 70’s, one piece suits and sideburns. It’s pretty amazing to see the rider position on these sleds, compared to modern sleds. Wonder how many boots they melted on the pipes.

Hey everybody. Glad to see a new a new page out there. Many of you know me as Elf from JD but this page requires at least 4 letters for a username so I had to change it up. Attached is a picture of my wife and I in Island PARK this year.

Correct me if I am wrong but you were recently retired correct? how’s retired life treating you? living the dream or like most don’t know how they had the time to do things when you were working?

Correct, my wife and I both called it quits 1/2/26. I guess people would say we’re living the dream, lots of travel so far. A month in Island Park, a week in Roatan, Honduras, two weeks in the Smokies, and now we head to Vegas tomorrow. But after one more trip in mid-july we are mostly done for the year. Got a neck issue thats going to get fixed…Read More

Yeah, I could but not that concerned. Maybe if I get real active again.

I like those back lit signs, I have a few large vintage snowmobile scenes framed ones in my living room, my favorite one has a line of vintage sleds coming in on a trail from a ride to a cabin and headlights are lit as well as cabin window and post lights, really cool!
