Wish me luck
Going to an auction this weekend, calling for crappy weather, possibly snow and rain which is good for auction sales when you want something they have that you really wanted..keeps the bidding low..
Anyhow, up on the block is a 78 Liquifire, running per the flyer. I want one of these so bad..

Re: Wish me luck
Hey Paul,
Good luck this weekend! I love those '78 Liquidfires. I always thought they were a great looking sled and then I rode Rainville's 78 CC at the HOF last year. WOW! What a nice riding and handling machine. I had to have as well. I picked up a '78 440 but haven't had time to mess with it any.
I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Re: Wish me luck
Luck has nothing to do with it.
Just bid till they point at you and say sold.
What could go wrong?

Really ?? Where abouts ?? The wife and kids are leaving Friday for 9 days in Florida, and I'll be "single".Danzig wrote:Just needs to be a 78'..sale is in Illinois..
And as we all know , single men can buy anything they want too
Don't worry about me buying it, I already have a 78" 340 and a 440 Liquifire.

Re: Wish me luck
My latest project is a 78 LF340 nonCC. I'm pretty sure it'll my rider next year and I'll save the 340/S for special occasions.

Re: Wish me luck
Last time i saw you contemplating a buy it took you 3 hrs to make a decision of,,,, "Maybe". You lost out on a very good deal. Hope you can do better this time around.

Re: Wish me luck
If the opportunity presented itself to getting a rubber track I would do so. Otherwise it will be the 2/3 cleated track. I'm good either way as I just want a rider.

Re: Wish me luck
Don,
Good luck with your new project. I am refurbishing the same model sled and maybe I'll bring it out the next time. One suggestion is to change out the rear aluminum pivot shafts to steel ones.
