Another one to the collection

Bought myself a Rotary Snowmobile to add to the collection, luckily its not much of a project. Had it fired up and running this weekend, now all I need is SNOW!

1969 Sno-Fury MK II it has the 303cc single rotor Sach's engine. Its supposed to produce a whopping 19hp lol.
















Here it is beside my 2002 Arctic Cat ZL 600






And yes, riding the Sno-Fury will require wearing the period correct metallic flake helmet

You are a lucky man Joe. I was going to buy that sled about 2 months ago. I decided I wanted to spend the money else where. We'll have to get together for a race over the winter. My Yamaha 300 twin against the snow fury!

I didn't even know stuff like that existed.
That's awesome.
Like the rotary motorcycle that was at DGRR 2011.

Pretty much every pre 1970 snowmobile placed the engine there. Just hope you have no fires or explosions......

Now you just need one of the old one piece suits that look like something Evil Knievel would have worn. That will complete the vintage look.

Picked up 2 spare motors this weekend....except these two are the Sachs KM24 engines, 295cc and 23hp! Slightly different as to what is in the Sno-Fury. Planning to tear them down and rebuild both.
