Kind of expected to hear that.

Most of the time I'd blow a snowmobile away. Traction. They drop off at around 100 mph, too, though I wouldn't take it that far.

Rickster · 10-23-2009, 12:55 PM

Fun in the snow

Here are a few sleds that will give you a run for your money Clint.

Yeah, but they aren't in the ditch along HWY 10.

tricker · 10-23-2009, 03:18 PM

well kids.. too much snow here to go home on the bike. %%%% gotta find a new way home i guess

Rickster · 10-23-2009, 03:25 PM

Yep the cars are all covered in snow here too, and the temp just dropped below 32 so it's going to be sticking on the roads, I'm glad I drove the car today, good luck getting home Adam.

tricker · 10-23-2009, 03:34 PM

well i didn't know we were supposed to get accumulated snow. I don't think anyone here did. Oh well I guess my stupid mistake.

Was already at work when I start posting. Getting a ride from a coworker. Unemployed brother in law couldn't come help me. Didn't want to go back into town for anything.

frostbitevinnie · 10-23-2009, 04:40 PM

Speaking of cold I bought THESE on sale today. They are more of a cold riding pant but I still have So. Ca. blood in me so I think they will work out well.

I did not know it was snowing down south till reading this post. Nothing here.

**Clint** · 10-23-2009, 04:40 PM

I suppose I should go find a window to look out of and think about leaving early.

omegajim · 10-23-2009, 06:28 PM

hope they work well for you, at 170 they aren't exactly cheap.

frostbitevinnie · 10-23-2009, 09:15 PM

I did not pay $170 so yeah, I think they will work.

tricker · 10-23-2009, 10:06 PM

bike never made it home.. will pick up tomorrow sometime.

omegajim · 10-25-2009, 01:06 PM

that's where if I had more than one bike, the other would be a ural, with that 2 wheel drive and the sidecar.

siclmn · 10-25-2009, 04:35 PM

Don't forget the heated socks too. They make as much of an improvement as the jacket does. You will be really warm.

Looks kinda fun. Ural in the snow.

omegajim · 10-27-2009, 11:14 PM

when you go to the bike show, the ural reps don't take much to get started.

only the russians could find a way to make a bike that belongs in the snow as much as anything.

Rickster · 11-03-2009, 11:16 AM

33* this morning, that Gerbings heated jacket liner sure works nice.

**Clint** · 11-03-2009, 11:47 AM

33? It was 23 here. I had frost inside my visor. Time to insulate the pants, I think.
