An enclosed cab on the Snowblower would be nice also. 3 degree temp doesn't bother a tough guy like me--I just wanna look cool:shocked:
PS: There seems to be a difference between looking cool & freezing my a*s off :-(

If you could figure how to make a functioning auger(s) in the radiator scoops I believe you would be on to something. They make great shop vacs when going down the road!! Mad Mac:doorag:
But if you REALLY want a snowblower...

Every time I see that picture I am wondering how that rig works in some "real" snow (8+ inches)? I am thinking the rear wheel would spin and forward progress would be impeded. I could not drive my 08 in three inches of snow and that had no heavy plow on the front. :dontknow::dontknow:Quote:

Don't know if that's real or photoshopped. A real spyder would simply stop when Nanny detects any tire slippage, wouldn't it? Especially if it's running stock Kendas. I don't see room for chains between the tire and fender on our stock 08.
I agree, I think it is photo shopped. No, the nanny does not stop tire slippage on my 2016 F3T, but it will not go forward. I just took my bike out in about 5" of snow, and took some pictures. It took me about 30 minutes to dig a path to get it back in the garage. The 2 front tires, pushing through the snow will stop the progress of the one rear tire trying to push things forward.Quote:

The last I knew, SETH O drives his Spyder all winter in Brainerd, MN. He uses studded rear tire.
And there was a video showing him racing down those icy roads--Seth style. Not me. :roflblack::roflblack:Quote:
