TJ Patrick Riding his 1979 RXL 440X "The Bull" in 2022

TJ Patrick got this sled from Polaris in late 1978 and raced it over the 1979 season. It is restored now, and TJ got to try it for the first time on the Eagle River track.

Sweet sled!

The 440 triples were formidable even in the hands of privateers back in the day.

You can tell by the sound, that's a twin cylinder.

Very cool. I wish the filmed held the phone the other direction!!

Didnt the 1979 RXL have a windshield?

[@larrypreston]

This is a 78.

When snowmobiles were great. Not the cookie cutter junk made today.

Sleds of today look like they hit a box of goofy crayons .....
