What was your first sled? The one you had fun on all of the time when you were a kid? I am a teenager and I got a 1979 Jag 3000 when I was 10 and I still ride it to this day.

Cool, actually I forgot my first sled wasnt a Jag it was a 1974 El Tigre 340. My dad had it for 20 years. I drove it for about a 2 weeks and one day when i was in school my dad sold the el tigre and bought my jag. I loved that El tigre it was FAST!

I didn't have a sled when I was a kid. I was 25 when I got my first sled...
'76 Ski-Doo TNT 340e. Basket case... Ended up parting it out.
Then I got a '70 Ski-Doo Olympique 12/3 that was a basket case. I rebuilt the motor on that one and sealed the gas tank. It needs a carb cleaning right now but it'll start and idle good.

Then what else, lessee:
'72 Olympique 335, '71 Nordic, '69 Panther 380?, '80 Polaris TX-L, '80 Trail Cat, '80 Blizzard 7500, '80 Polaris Centurion, '71 Panther 303, '81 El Tigre, '86 Panther.
I think thats all of them... 6 years, 12 sleds, thats only 2 a year...

My first sled, which I just sold to get my zr 580, was a 1994 arctic cat cougar 440. I beat the s**t out of that sled

polaris4lif3

My first sled was a 72 polaris colt. It was a strong runner until my friend hit a tree.

I restored a 1979 Arctic Cat Jag 3000 did you end up with it 79stingman? Time frame would be about right I lived in Rochester Ny at the time. That sled was showroom gorgeous when it left. Rebuilt the suspension in my bedroom lol mom loved that.

Second was a 95 Puma bought for 500 at a repo auction in 97

3rd was a 95 zr700 I rode it from the trailer to the grage and then the garage to a new guys trailer lol decided I wanted a powder sled.

Then the rest that I still own but the franken panther is sold once its finished.
