They are beautiful sleds indeed!
They are amongst the all time classic Sleds. Years ago I was riding with a local who had a TT. It was a beauty..all cleated and picked up. We were on this little local ...unmarked...trail,and he pointed to a treed hill,and said there's a trail up there too. I looked,and just shook my head.."What trail?.."..lol. That was all he needed..away he went. like a snake slithering up a tree..he wound his way up that hill,around the trees,and a 30' rooster tail behind him..lol. I'll never forget it.
Nabbed this old Majorette at a show a couple weeks ago.
It was all of 50 cents..lol.
It's surprisingly all there!

The best one's are when they sink'em. Although with all the power they have now, it rarely happens anymore.
I think that's a Nordic Majorette. The high back seat is the same that came on the Olympics. The TNT's had the rounded black hump at the rear.

It looks like that Majorette is the same casting as the more current one? I found this one:

We had what we called 'pond runs' back in 1977, unfortunately no one took pics as all the spectators were drinking instead. We did this the Sat before Easter and the water was cold. The Kawasakis were the best at it, I remember the Artic Cats always sinking, you had to shut them off quick, the water was maybe 3-4' deep in most spots and they used an old tractor to yank them out...
Keep it vintage baby!
