Special Comments:

Found decent snow as you get closer to the the canadian shield. So much for Winterpeg!

Well I did learn that shipping to the border is about $450, which is ok. I still don't understand the price difference when crossing the border!

I know what you mean - but I just can't convince myself that the 26 hour round trip is worth it. Minneapolis I could do, but this is a little too far away.

I hear that the Sask economy is doing even better than Manitoba!

I'd give you the asking price but I don't know how i'd get it home. Too bad you're 13 hours away....

Thanks for all the advice. Now if we only had some decent snow around Winterpeg!

Special Comments: Original unrestored condition - thanks to everyone on this site. My everyday ride.

Tracked down a Liquifire and Sportfire locally. Which would be the best for a daily runner? I know the liquifire dual carb setup would be the hp winner, but the concern is reliability and ease of upkeep. How much more complex is the liquifire engine over the trail/sportfire setup? Looking for advice...

Thanks - that should make her happy!

I'm new to JD sleds, but have come across a number of Liquifires and Sportfires locally. Is there a two up seat that will fit these models, i.e. like the one used on the trailfire? I'll need this to make my other half happy....
