    Default More off-road (this week in the snow)

    No mud this week. Lots of snow. Ran great, drifted for 78 miles, lol! Should have wore my sled helmet as my helmet iced over and I struggled to see during freezing rain. Heated grips are a savior

    Looks like fun but not going to happen here in East Texas! Have to admit I don't like the cold so it ' ain't ever gonna happen '. Enjoy though. I've been telling everyone for the last year how much fun the Rally is " offroad "!

    Any decent set of aftermarket grips will work. I splurged on a set of really good ones which have the heat setting controls built right into the left grip. Contrary to what BRP claims, there is plenty of available current, especially after I switched to LED headlight bulbs

    Next you'll have a ski conversion kit on the front and a studded or picked tire on the rear...Then you'll be able to ride on the snowmobile trails with the fast boys...larryd

    What can I say?

    I hope my signature picture with snow in Hatcher Pass counts for something.

    ARTraveler, where is Hatcher Pass? I did the Beartooth in Wyoming 2 years ago, and the Snoqualmish (I think) in the way from Yakima to Mt Rainier in WA. On two wheels, and I cant WAIT to take the trike. I live in Colorado, so I love summiting the passes, I still need to go up Pikes Peak yet too.

    Hatcher Pass is near Palmer, AK. It is very similar to the Dragon.
    Almost 300 turns in about 13 miles. I lived in Alaska for almost 20 years. Moved to Arkansas this summer. Used to be known here as akspyderman.
