I saw this at the Motorcyclepedia.
We should go there sometime this year.

Leave it to you, Ron, to ask a practical question. I guess they just went honkin' in a straight line.

Just like a Toboggan... you lean it into the turn, and hope that the track doesn't catch your pant-leg! :yikes:

The Eliasons were the first of the "personal-sized" snow machines...:bowdown:
Someplace; I recall a video of one in action... I'll see if I can find it! :thumbup:

Here's a 1937 Eliason...

It's powered by an Indian motorcycle engine!

I believe that they were one of the original owners of Polaris

Hey, you win the prize!! The artist is Steve Ditko. Dr. Strange first appeared in 1963 in Strange Tales. He was also the artist of Spiderman. Both characters were in Marvel Comics.
