a nice weekend - Reto
First
story Yamaha:
The
Snowmobile stood for a long time in a small museum somewhere in Germany.
Thereafter,
the museum was closed and the machine ended almost at the scrapyard.
A
young man saves it and then moves some time around with it.
Then
it was stored and forgotten in a barn.
A
business partner of Mike had heard that was an old snowmobile for sale
in
Germany
and told him about it.
So
Mike has bought this and but then still not know he is in possession of
a
very
rare snowmobiles now !!!! ..... and it works!
2nd.
story John Deere:
1976 John Deere 340 Cyclone
I was looking for spare
parts for my Alpine (the gearshift was broken).
So I browsed the internet
for possible dealers that could possibly have something.
I have written several.
but without success.
(But I afterwards found
in Austria a dealer who had something).
One had sometimes old
snowmobile for sale and asked me if I knew
someone who wanted to
buy a John Deere?
So I emailed Mike.Ten
minutes after he had already bought this for little Money.
:-)
So he went to Germany
again and met with the seller.
The seller was Doctor
and hunter and had this Snowmobile about a friend of America imported.
He needed the sled only
occasionally to hunt.
Now he no longer needed
it and sold it to Mike.
Which is one of the few
that can be found in Europe. Reto
THANKS MIKE AND
RETO FOR THE GREAT PICTURES !
