Wetbike, cin exciting new way to get around on water
THIEF RIVER FALLS - Minn. — Water sports enthusiasts have found an exciting new way to get around on the water. Combining all the thrills of motorcycling and waterskiing, the Wetbike, manufactured by the Spirit Marine Division of Arctic Enterprises, is the most popular two-person v/atercycle on the market today. Weighing 350 pounds and powered by a two-cylinder 50 h.p. engine with a jet pump drive, the Wetbike reaches 30 mph drawing only four inches of water. It all started back in 1973 with a man by the name of Nelson Tyler who came up with an idea based on the popularity of motorcycling and snowmobiling. He knew it wouldn’t be long l>efore enthusiasts would want the challenge of trying something similar on the water. Spirit Marine, after becoming involved with the new product, spent the next several years designing and perfecting a watercycle that would meet Coast Guard and industry requirements for flotation, noise and water pollution. At the same time, it has to offer the fun and excitement of “watercycling”. The result? A popular new way of getting around on the water called the Wetbike. Learning to ride the Wet bike is exciting and fun. It handles like a combination of motorcycle and snowmobile. Just turn the throttle, increase the speed and the Wetbike rises up on plane. The Wetbike banks into turns with speed and agility. The front ski smooths out the ride for easy control, even on choppy water. The 50 horsepower engine delivers all the power needed for a single rider or riding two up. And with the jet pump, there’s no exposed prop to worry about when getting on the machine.

With the riding position, you lean into turns and forward into jumps. To slow up or stop, simply let up on the throttle and the Wetbike settles into the water. Wetbike offers two features that automatically shut the engine off in the event of a fall. First, there’s a tether cord connecting the rider with a cutoff safety switch. When the rider falls, the cord breaks away from the switch shutting off the engine. A spring-loaded throttle also shuts the engine off when it’s released by the rider. After falling, the Wetbike settles upright in the water. A special flotation systems makes the Wetbike unsinkable. In addition to the fun and excitement, Wetbike offers versatility. The eight-gallon capacity tank allows plenty of time for riding between fuel stops. The 50 horsepower Spirit Outboard powerhead (723 cc features dependable Mikuni carburetion, reed valves and CD ignition for fuel efficient performance. Kris Golden first in state tourney Kris Golden placed first in jump, slalom and tricks at the Indiana State Water Ski tournament held over the week end at Camelot Lakes.

j/j you KNOW? ...that not all of baseball’s greats have played up to their capabilities in All-Star Games? Hard as it is to believe. Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees holds the record for striking out the most, 17 times in 16 games. And that usual terror at the plate, Yankee Yogi Berra, another Hall of Famer, hit only .195 in all of his 15 All-Star appearances. Every year’s All-Star Game has its “heroes” and “goats.” The all-time hero was New York Giants lefthander Carl Hubbell, who struck out five American League sluggers in a row in the ’34 All-Star Game. Players like Willie Mays of the New York and San Francisco Giants and New York Mets. Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, and Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals always excelled.
