wow that looks nice!

I've done a few things, but I don't want to do a full resto yet. I still drive the sled to the tune of >750Mi every season, and I don't think I'd want to drive it if I did fully restore it!

thats a lot of miles... i have yet to ride a mile in roughly 3 years due to lack of snow. and even then, i am lucky to get 50 miles in a given season.

I do rack up the miles. Last year all of our snow was lake effect, and it was about the minimum needed for riding. We got lucky last year. Hopefully this year brings in more snow, but with the jet stream the way it is, it isn't looking too good.

Currently that exciter is my main sled
