a new find....

Post by grantnelson00 »

I was having beers with a few friends last night and one said, "hey you like old snowmobiles, don't you?" We took off and he showed me a 295s with I-500 stickers on it. Don't know if it's for sale or not. It was in pretty nice shape although I had my beer goggles on by then. I'll update you after I find out what is what.

well said and very true just make sure the man knows how well you appreciate the sled and when you get to ride it make sure you are very greatful and in time he may give it up. Knowing how much you enjoy it may atleast put you 1st inline when the day comes.

If it's a 300, it's at least a '74.

The wife been handing out favors? Why the sudden bunch of free sleds flying out your ass?

It hasnt arrived yet, but I am certain now that its an 80 Liquifire. Just goes to show you what people who dont know sleds are trying to describe. Black hood and the green was the stripes what jumped out at him.
