New York I think is trying to do that but you have to register them first then after that it will be a considerably reduce price for the registration.

Yes it was $52.50 each and it is a lifetime registration. I never have o register them again as long as I own them. They are changing that law and I was able to get in on it before the change WOW - If that was the case here I'd have them all registered... COOL.

NH CHANGING FOR THE BETTER? Now, changing year cut off. After April of this year a sled can only be registered as an antique if it was manufactured in 1994 or before. and the price is changing and maybe the lifetime plate as well, but I can't remember all the details.

Hundred bucks, pulled out of the pine trees of Goose's boneyard. Tank full of crap that was no longer gas. Engine rolled over good. No spark- pulled starter cup and shot some brake kleen in, we had spark. Fired on a squirt- would not run- pulled carb- cleaned crud out, re assemble with old diaphragms. Rig up a jug. Replace missing or frozen throttle and brake cables with a package of universal bicycle replacement cables from Wal mart, cut to length. Oil in chain case, check- grease up spindles. Note most of the rear sprockets are missing. Pfft, who needs 'em. Load in back of truck. Drive 8 hours after work to inlaws in south west Virginia mountains who had snow two days prior. Unload said machine and ride up rutted logging roads. January 2011.

You are the undisputed master of old dogs Eric, "pfft, who needs them"...perfect, love it. We live in a different universe you and I, and that's down right awesome. The hobby needs all of us with our own special interests and talents, that's what makes it whole.... Purists, where would we be without them and their dedication to authenticity? Hunters and gatherers who never leave a man behind and amass huge collections of sleds and parts? Restorers who commit to show room new? Ditch diggers who get right to the heart of the matter and get them on the snow? Youngsters who are somehow intrigued by the vintage machines? The NOS magicians out there who seem to have every little part we need. Everyone is welcome, everyone makes a difference, everyone contributes something useful for others. The way in which we support our brothers' efforts is a grand and gratifying gesture. It's a wonderful world. Thanks here again to Monty for all the time and effort he spent in making the transition from the old board to the new. I'm happy to see such robust activity here.

Well said Joe! To clarify, yes I knew I was, as the band Molly Hatchet sang "Flirtin' with disaster" trying it like that... BUT my totally gone through right down to stainless steel bolts in powder coated hardware '71 Elan and a tow rope was right along side me. The Oly was not shut off once running, was backfiring here and there out the muffler that appeared to have several brazing repairs and a hose clamp holding it together as we headed up the mountain. That machine a month later down in Georgia was totally torn down to the bare tunnel, tank cut open and cleaned, rusty tunnel top replaced, new sprockets/bearings, better used track etc and totally re painted. Good enough for magazine covers. And no I did not bother trying to get the dents out of the belly, I just never put the skid plate it came with back on.

The ole 69 looks pretty darn good in the magazine! Who cares about the tank dents, it makes it look like 99% of all the machines out there. And how many of us have mags with their sled in it anyhow? That's cool.
