Who says you can't ride a three wheeler in the snow?

Different things are looking, well Different.

Be Safe and Enjoy your Day. .....:thumbup:

I dunno about the rest of you, but I ryde my Spyder in the snow at every opportunity! :yes: . I've even been known to ryde half way across the Country just so I could go ryding in the snow; and if it's not too deep, ryding your Spyder in the snow can be a real BLAST! hyea:

Of course, we don't get snow quite the same way you lot get snow, our roads aren't generally salted, and we don't have a lot of un-cleared roads above the snow-line that remain open during the winter, so the ryding opportunities are somewhat limited. But on average, the Australian Alps/Snowy Mountains get more snow than Switzerland :shocked: . and they cover a tad over 1.6 million hectares, so if the snow's not great in one area, there's usually somewhere else to go find some snow! :2thumbs:

My .02. I would not. You can go, but if you hit ice the results could be not good. :bowdown:

Being a 3-track machine, the challenge is trying to ride in traffic lanes that are 2-track with the center of the lane being mounded with snow/sleet. In pristine (open field) conditions with true snow tires, I'd be right there with you!

Ontario winters + salt + motorcycle = rusty bike come spring. :cus:
Not to say I haven't done it. Got caught in a early blizzard and rode 50 miles home on a Yamaha XT500.
Just a squall when I started for home, 6 inches on the road by time I got there.
Then there was the "Midnight Snowdrift Grand Prix" when I was a lot younger, but I won't go there.

Keep in mind, snow tires or not, the two front wheels act as snow plows causing the rear wheel to lose traction. Very hard to get going in more than a couple inches of snow. IMO of course, but double your money back guarantee on my advice. :roflblack:
