Barn Swakin'

Today was a day of days. I have seen the holy grail of sleds. I have seen about 100+ of our special breed of sleds and maybe a few more. All years, liquifires, cyclones, trailfires, sportfires, sprint fires etc. I have seen enough hoods to probably cover double the amount of sleds I have seen. I have seen tracks, skis', engines, seats, windishields, suspensions, the list could go on forever. I am sick. Not kidding, I almost puked at the sight of this. Sleds were on a cattle lot, 50ft x 100ft, bumper to bumper. Sleds were in a very large barn, bumper to bumper. In the loft, hood upon hood, track upon track, fuel tanks. All I can say is

:o . No race stuff, but thats ok. I landed a seat for my liquifire the solo seat, the snorkel hose, fuel gauge for the gas tank. 5 milk jugs full of track studs. An engine for a 78 liquifire and got Brian a seat he was wanting for the xx' and 00's series sled as he requested. I wish I would have brought my camera. Oh, well I am going back very soon. Trailer is coming along also. That's all folks.....

Hey Bob I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but I think Santa Claus died long ago. Haven't you ever heard the saying " You get nothing for nothing Santa Claus is dead "?????

When my brother and I pulled into the farm, I figured to see about 7 sleds total and some odds and ends. Then as we got further onto the property I almost got sick. I mean I felt dizzy. I saw this mass of sleds. I cold not believe it. We were shown around the property. This person's got even more sleds of different breads. Yamaha's, Ski-doo, Kawasaki, Cats and even an NOS hood to a Harley Davidson. 2 barns are filled with sleds, one cattle lot filled with sleds. A round galavanized corn crib filled with all the engines and NOS hood. I even saw a one seater Manta, the kind with the twin tracks in the back. It was white and maroon. Several and I mean several 80 liquifires, complete and running. Trailfires, Cyclones. It goes on and on. They have 4 sprintfires and one spit, maybe 2. My god the cyclones and liquifires I couldnt count all of them. All years of the cyclones and liquifires except for anything newer than 81. All the sleds outside are sitting without engines and suspensions and seats. All of this is inside. The barn was so packed, I had to damn near stand on one sled to get to another. The loft is full of parts, I mean real nice used parts, packed, this barn is huge like the Amish cattle barns, HUGE!!. I asked them why and the answer was because I like them. Not everything is for sale, they have their favorites, the Thundercats, I think there are 4 of them also. I was deeply moved by this today, it was simply magnificent.

Aren't you the guy who was wishing just a short while ago, that you wanted to make some "barn" finds?

That was good - nothing I enjoy more than sarcasm. Of course my first choice to pick on is Tasky, but Paul is in a very close second place.

I have to admit I'm kinda in shock. First Paul pulls his wallet out for his Liquifire and now this?? I never thought the day would come. Is the world ending and no-one told me?

Not a find, It came to me last summer by a phone call, never got a chance to get there last year. Lost the phone #. Recieved an e-mail last week and a phone call Saturday morning. I was only figuring them to have about 10 sleds tops.

I was wrong.

When I called Brian, I could barely talk. My god. Incredible.

That part is true! I was talking to him, and I was having a hell of a time understanding him. He was talking to me, the owner, himself, his brother, I don't know, I could hear guys talking in the background, it was like a circus!
