Re: anyone still ride vintage dirtbikes as their main bike?
Nice Husky.....
All those old snowmobiles are familiar to me.
I also had a '73 Moto Ski 440 short track, with the stock BSE engine.
It was narrow, tippy and evil handling, but it was really quite fast. My friends all had much more modern mis size sleds, they would pull ahead on the turns, but I would always catch up on the straights.
Just hang the throttle wide open (with the huge honking carb thoughtfully pointing right at my crotch) and hang on.
I also rode several '67 and 68 Moto Skis, long track single cylinder machines that were slow and tippy, but NEVER got stuck. They were so long and light, they could cross any snow, no matter how light and fluffy. I also rode a '71 TNT 399, which was heavy and slow, and a '73 Ski Roule (as I recall, it was one of the very first machines equipped with sliders instead of bougie wheels. )
I still have a '76 Ski doo Olympic, and recently sold my '81 Blizzard 9500. I am looking for another cheaper older machine these days.
