Sometimes you gotta ride

[asp125]

Where there's a will....



At least the main roads were clear.

There you go....

Traction is great but the steering may need some attention....:roflblack:

That's a nice-looking sled! Which model is it? :thumbup:

It was "interesting" playing connect the dots with bare pavement until we got out of the neighborhood.

Studded tires will enhance the ride.

I have wondered if studded tires are available to spyders.

that is a Polaris Rush 800...:yes:

 

[Bob Denman]

Is that their new chassis? It's been a while since I've dared to peek at the snowmobile side of powersports...

 

[no chrome]

its the Axys chassis

Oh crap, you just opened a can of worms! Prepare for the doomsday onslaught! :yikes:

Maybe not studded, but....

What about winter dedicated snow tires? Not for deep snow, but maybe like my photo, or for frosty but generally dry and occasional wet/slush winter conditions - when I won't want to risk my two wheelers. Around here, we get warm days between snowstorms that clear enough to be able to ride when the main roads are dry/wet mix. but getting out of the neighborhood is a challenge.

I see Dunlop has a WinterMax http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...5R4WMAXX&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes for the front, and a couple of rears http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...e&pagelen=20&pagenum=1&pagemark=1&RunFlat=All

Just curious if anyone's fool enough to ride in slick conditions enough to warrant real snow tires. Parked Motorcycle Syndrome (PMS) is a real struggle.

Here is what JVB is referring to.

This thread is starting to worry me. In winters past, when the snow would fly, I'd just roll out the trusty KLR. Those semi knobbies did the job. If a car followed to close I'd look for some thick slush and rooster his windshield.

You don't ride three wheels in snow?

 

[Bob Denman]

You don't still have it?? :shocked:
Find an old Honda XL 600... they'll do the same thing, for a lot less money! :thumbup:
(Install sheet metal screws in each of those knobbies, and you ride across a greased marble floor! nojoke)

What's he doing with a snowmobile and snow on the ground????:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Actually I own 3 sleds and a house in Wisconsin on the snowmobile trails.
