Check out these motorcycle skis on CL. Sorry for the link but posting pics from first gen IPad is a PITA

Yeah, that totally looks sane.

So I have to ask, as a GS owner........ was there some reason not to ride in the snow before?

Rick,

So I have to ask, as a GS owner........ was there some reason not to ride in the snow before?

You asked! Yes one good reason not to ride in the snow is ice. You can not see it under the snow.

Sounds like you are a present day dual sport owner/rider which is cool. Been there done that. My only transportation for three winters in HS, one in MD and two winters in NJ was a 1971 Kawasaki Big Horn. So yes I have done my share of dual sport/ enduro riding in the snow and the wipe outs that go with it. Have owned a few other dual sport bikes also.

Have fun and remember what they say about yellow snow!

that's old hat, here's a Jawa 'Twingle" ((I Think), note the twin plugs, two pistons but they had only one combustion chamber) with them. they were held in the "up" position by a pair of big rubber bands..from Butler's Orchard Vintage gathering, 2005.

Fast Foward to about the 9 minute mark, that is where it gets good.

i've seen a set of these, mounted on an Indian 249

a set of those skis would have made it a bit less interesting. important technique demonstrated at about 11:00.


those potholes remind me of US1 in Hyattsville.
