No, not for sale.  Just wanted to share the photos. They print pretty good at 11 x 17.   I think the only thing we have for sale right now is one black windscreen, oh and a 2000 GP800 Waverunner.

Thanks for sharing. That overhead view of the 5 '79 models cruising across untracked snow appeared in a fall '78 SnoTrack magazine. I had always loved winter sports, hockey, skiing, etc. and anything with a motor.
 My job at the time required some travel in the area, and I stopped for lunch in Kokomo, Indiana...Beach Boys anyone? Browsing a magazine rack in a Kokomo mall, I spotted that magazine. I probably was taking a peak at the latest "Playboy" but I digress.  :)  Of course, I had to buy that magazine. ( No, not the Playboy, the SnoTrack...keep it "family oriented"!  It had the article by Olav Aaen describing how he developed the porting, clutching, and twin pipes for the '78 Invader. It was full of ads for the really cool Moto-Ski Grand Prix Special and Sonics, the Poo Centurion, Scorpion TK, etc. But they took a second place to the "Kawi" ad. I decided then that I would have to own one of those things. Coolest thing with a motor I had ever seen , next to a Ferrari....Playboy doesn't count!
 Like Kawhead, I'm kicking myself for misplacing lots of mags and brochures over the years....but good memories of what developed into a lifelong love of the sport and great times with my family!
