Beautiful pictures!!! As much as I love snow, I love not having to scrape/shovel it even more.

It sure feels good to be back out, I rode mine today too. I did manage to keep my front tire on the ground, of course the M50 50HP makes that easy to do.

I didnt know you could do that without standing in a puddle of fresh oil.
I tried it 2 or 3 times last year just to see if it was possible on an M50. Both feet on pegs, almost completely stopped, rev it up just a bit let the clutch out hard, roll on the throttle and the rear goes squirrely as it moves forward (think 1/4 mile hard launch). Was nice once or twice, but it is too hard on the bike and too squiddy. Note that I only weigh 160lbs at 5'8" so it's not like the M50 has any trouble moving me. I guess that is why I find the M50 powerful enough, although I want a Kuryakyn Hi-5 to add HP.
