noob questions

I don't mind riding in the cold. Haven't had the RT out in the snow yet, probably couldn't get up my drive with it, too steep. I will say that the RT has the best weather protection of any bike/trike I've ridden. Upper 30's ride last Saturday. Tourmaster coat, ski bibs, unlined deerskin gloves, heated grips on low, and regular cotton socks. Use a neck warmer to seal between helmet and jacket. Rode about 120 miles and very comfortable. I've always ridden in the cold, but with the RT it's much safer. We use a lot of sand during the winter and now I don't have pay nearly as much attention to road conditions. I expect to be out more in the cold with the RT. I just like to ride!

The RT is just as bad, or worse, in the snow as the RS. When I took mine back to the dealer, I couldn't get it to go onto the trailer ramp. It just kept spinning on the packed snow until I got out a couple of old towels to use as traction mats. The weather protection is excellent, however, it's just not a snowmobile.
