Fixed up the 83 Liquifire is a pretty neat sled......... Darn, did i say that outloud?

I think it was typed unless you have voice recognition software at your disposal.
Does this mean I have to add 70's racers to my herd? I'll need to add on to the shed and my checkbook.
OK Guys since Randy <RLFOLLMAN>wont come clean this is just to let you know that he is mesing with you. The sled i bought is the 83 that i posted. The other pic is Randy,s very nice 83 that i did not purchase. He appears to be a shifty little fello that needs to be watched.
My new happy sled needs to be ripped apart and re-built but i guess i,ve been there before.
Nice to see you here Jamie , now stop wasting time and go rebuild that 295/s so i can see it by the time i die of old age.
Pat .... You have no idea the kind of fancy tech stuff i have around here. Last week we actually bought a Television.
Maybe Randy can post some good pics of his beautiful 83 Liquifire. May give me some good motivation for tearing into my new sled. I have not seen but understand he has some pretty nice sleds in his garage.
Saw those in person (as are the pics) at the Horicon show.
I felt like a kid again walking in to that room.
My buddy I brought along was so shocked & in awe that he sold his newer XCR? Polaris and
bought an 80's Liquifire that year!!!
It's about darn time. This was like 3 years in the making. Chuck, just so I don't feel so guilty, I will give you some info on your sled: It is a 1983 Liquifire. Only ONE Liquifire was built between 1980 and 1984. This means that you have the only one in existence and you won't need to look for any others.
I too have fallen under Randy's spell. Every time he brings me a sled, I have to go in for retina surgery after staring at those shiny tunnels too long. In all seriousness, you'll love the ride quality, the reduced weight and the best handling from any rigid chassis sled ever produced. You can justify this purchase by its soon to be found race history in the 2011 Waconia I-5.00 rematch with a certain 340 Trailfire. The Liquifire will of course come in second just like your 340/S did last year but, at least it will have a race history. Have fun with this one!

Randy, that thing is a FAAAAAR cry from the last time I saw it. Was the tunnel still black when I preseasoned it? I can't remember now. I'm still kicking myself for not chaining myself to that one-pull starting '83 that you sold. That is probably the best running 80's Liquifire I've ever had the pleasure of riding. If you're up in Duluth, give me a call. One of these days I'm going to have to pull the Trailfire out of its coccoon next to the shop and get it fired up. Glad to see you're still kickin'.

Have fun with this one!
