What does a Montana snowmobiler do in December when there's no snow? Paint his machine...of course!

I guess I should do my homework better before posting! 1962 did seem early to me when he said that. I'd sure like to bring this to the Scorpion reunion in Feb.

I guess this is where I can put old racing pictures? The first is of my two favorite Scorpions. A 71 Super Stinger free air 340. The other is a stock 1970 440 Sachs. The second shot was from the West Yellowstone races of 1971. I got first place with the trusty stock 440 Sachs. Notice the Scorpion sign on the building?

The owner said he thinks it's a 1962, but I can't get to it to see the serial number! I'm going to try my best to get it. Thanks for your advice!!

I took a trip to see the Scorpion factory in 1973. How I would love to have some of these crates today!!

I'll try this again. I'm having a terrible time inserting a photo! I can't believe I discovered this old sled in the rafters of an auto repair shop yesterday. It's just like the one I learned on as a kid! It ran well when he stored it 35 years ago. I have no idea what to offer him for it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The Vintage Scorpion guy just found a few NOS slides that fit my 1980 Sting. I don't know how many more he has... but here's his website. www.vintagescorpion.com/

We left ours completely stock, as we were told they had to be. They seemed to run forever with very little maintenance. I'd love to find one for myself!

Is this where I can put old Scorpion picture that may be of interest? If not, I will move them. The first is of my father riding his 70 640cc Stinger through a firewall. The next is some of the sleds I raced.

Looks like really nice work you're doing! Do you still have any of the slide rail wear strips that would fit my 1980 Scorpion Sting with the short para rail 2 suspension? I'm having trouble finding two of them.
