revrnd Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Sold mother's sled and the buyer picked it up today. Her 1st sled was a new Elan: which she had for 1 weekend LOL. A couple more 'doos 300 Oly & a '79 300 Citation which she really liked. Since 'doo didn't make a smaller 'proper' sled when it was time to replaced it, she jumped ship to Poo & bought a '92 Indy Lite. Another Indy Lite & then a Indy 340: (not sure of the year). After piling up the miles on it she hesitantly got a 2003 550 Indy Classic. She was unsure of how she'd like it as it was the largest 'physically' that she'd be riding. Turns out she never had a problem w/ it. A few trips to the Calabogie area, a RAP tour & a Apsley to Parry Sound trip to rack up just over 6,000 miles on it. She only got out twice the last 2 winters what w/ the lousy weather & the !@#^show getting out of Apsley when we do have snow. I asked her if she wanted to get a trail permit for her sled when I was ordering mine. She said she'd think about it. A couple of days later she said no and that she'd be ready to sell it.

She's 84 & has always been an outdoors person. I guess it goes w/ growing up there. The folks never had any interest in going south during the winter. You mentioning those sleds, I laughed once when someone was wishing for the good ole days. I'm pretty sure they weren't born before the OFSC trail permits went into effect across the province.

chandos_jon Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 A sad day but it sounds like your mom got to ride for a lot of years. I hope I'm still riding when I get to her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
