They are pretty ancient 1987 artic cat cougar and a 1989 artic cat eltigre 530, they pretty much are just for kicking around for fun, we go up to the Pocono's and rent what ever they have available, and they usually are better than the ones we have at my buddies house.

I dumped the 530 in the lake, luckily it was only 3' deep...that was the last time I went before the Bridge froze......

Carinis up by East Center market ain't bad. Trackside down off Rt. 5 near the composting center is good. There's more pizza places in Wallingford than you can shake a stick at.
