Those are a couple of fine looking steeds, Henry. It certainly looks like a Ditch Pickle; funny the name stuck.
Probably don't see too many of the other Ditch Pickles in Alabama so here is a shot of one ready for action.
Thanks dj. As I recall, you are the originator of the moniker, so of course it stuck.
I know of one in Hazel Green, just a couple miles north of me........guy bought it shortly after I got mine, and another from somewhere else in the state. Saw it at Rod's not long ago. Has 9K miles on it and looks like it has never been washed. Bugs, dirt, grease, grime, and oil all over it. Complete travesty. Nauseated me. Couldn't stand the site. Had to exit the storage barn. Rod said he thought I was gonna puke. Almost did. For the life of me I cannot figure out why someone would let a fine machine like a Ditch Pickle go to hell in a handbasket.
I haven't been on a snowmobile since................early 70s.......somewhere around there. They're fun, but I don't think the Alabama State Patrol would appreciate me riding one to work.
