What is my problem?

With the past?  I wish I lived in it.  Last fall I picked up a '74 Honda Trail 90 for $50 from my brother in law in awesome shape.  I'll post a pic of that later. 

I picked this up yesterday for $100, 1800 miles on it, all original.  My dad had his old John Deere helmet, so he snapped a pic.  Action shot, lol.

nice sled, those were the days, we had a moto-ski 399 problem is they dont have much  suspension to them and as you get older it you feel it more the next morning.

Yep, from '72 to '84, basic overview here:

Yeah, my Dad still claims his back problems were from all the riding he did back in the day.     They leave a lot to be desired in terms of ride quality compared to ones made today.

Who, me?

No, not really.     He knew what it was worth, but longtime friends of his gave it to him for nothing.  So he sold it to me for what he had into it.  I put another $200 into it, exhaust pipe was most of that.  It still needs a couple things.  It has a lot of miles, but was kept really well.  It runs great.

I really cant get any more toys right now.  3 vehicles, a motorcycle, and a snowmobile is enough.  All but my Magnum are decent investments.

My dad had a '72 500, and a liquifire, too, he said that was fast.  Yeah, there are snowmobiles everywhere up here, all kinds of makes.  I've seen a Massey that a guy has just down the road a mile and a half, its basically brand new yet, with the dealer sticker is the only thing that was added/changed.  Rupp, Massey, JD, Mercury, Raider, everybody had a snowmobile back in the day.

That's a cool looking snowmobile!! I've never ridden one as I live in the south, but I bet they are a blast to ride!!! Sounds like an awesome score!!
