Eric...heres some more & the brief story of our
T.O.C. Invader. We bought
the sled from Kawasaki in Jan. of 79 after the first
TOC race was held in
Owatonna Mn. Our dealer rep. told us at the
time that it was the only one of
the orig. 13 that came to New England. We rode
it for 2 winters & then sold
it. I started looking for it in the winter of
97. After tracking it thru 8
owners & 3 State depts. of registry , I hit a
dead end in April of 98. When
I returned from my honeymoon in August of 98 my brother
informed me that a
guy had come to our dealership & said he had a
sled that we had sold new &
wanted some info. You guessed it...the pics
he had with him were of the TOC.
Our dealership decal had remained intact for 19 years
& led it back to us.
We bought it back in Oct. of 98.
