    A couple more - my father's machine in 1972 --- a Mercury...

     

    :thumbsup_anim: Now that's Style.

    The 250 had a more conventional timing advance mechanism, a large chrome automotive-type air cleaner, twin headlights, a rear mounted gas tank, and a large muffler under the seat with the tailpipe exiting at the rear of the sled, under the fuel tank. Louvers ventilated the aluminum tunnel around the muffler to aid in cooling and keep the rider's legs warm. This exhaust system was also handy for cooking hot dogs wrapped in aluminum foil and tossed under the seat! The track was reinforced with steel cable because of the 250's weight, which is wisely not listed in the owner's manual but is massive. This steel cable tended to make the track as stiff as wood whenever the sled sat unused for a few hours under cold conditions. To free up the track before use, one would have to remove the hood, put the rear up on it's kickstand, and manually turn the driven sheaves backwards a few turns, to give the motor a "running start" at loosening up the stiffened track without burning the drive belt to shreds. The engine was a 436cc 25hp twin, with a Tillotson carb featuring a fixed, "Mikuni-style" high speed jet.

    Hey Ryan I had that same Phazer II back when it was just out what a great sled a buddy had the other model which was reverse paint we switched side covers and she sure did look wicked all white. One of the best pasts about this sled was she NEVER got stuck I was always the one to break new trails one of the best sleds I have owned.

     

    I also loved my 650 INDY but she was not any good in very deep snow if you stopped it was fun to try and get going again but she was great for trail ridding and also lake racing which we did daily in Sudbury, all kids of people would show up to moonlight beach on Lake Ramsey in Sudbury and race out to the first island all day no rules just great times.

     

    I like the look`s of some of the old girls but would never want my elan or olimpic back.

    LOL Cant believe you gave me a ride on that sled all the way to the Falcon hotel one very cold sudbury night lonnng ago,.... :canadian:

    This "can't drive to work because the roads are bad" mentality really pisses me off. We haven't even seen a flake of snow, and already, people are freaking out about a big storm :rolleyes: Gimme a break, we haven't seen a real winter storm for years. A foot of snow is nothing, driving in it isn't a problem, just take your time and be careful.

     

    If I refused to work because of a snow storm, my co workers would laugh thier asses off at me. I'd be quite embarrassed even thinking of calling in.

     

    What has this world come to. Its Canada for god sakes, we're supposed to like cold and snow. What a bunch of wussies!!! Tell your buddy to get his purse out of the way, hop in the truck, and get his ass to work!!!!!

     

    S.

    What pisses me off is people who cant read the original post

    Nowhere does it say he doesn't want to go to work , nor does it say he wont go to work in a snow storm, it SAY'S once AT work your forced to drive a pc of crap vehicle in a snow storm that's not equipped to do so..I.E snow tires.

    Superbowl is a definate. I'll be heading out to the shack Friday night to make sure everything is ready. Saturday at 9am we'll meet at the launch, I'll fish until dark. Sunday me and some buddies are having a Superderb from 11 am - 3 pm (longest fish wins) then a cab from the ice to a buddies place for the game. I took Monday off so after the kids are at daycare / school I'll be back out on the ice. Considering a nearby lake for Lakers. Tuesday - Thursday will be detoxing.
