Snow track !!!!

Howdee Hi Yall !

Took the Viva 250 out today on our track at my house here in Washington State . It was 22* cold out , 8" to 12" of Powder Snow .
That was the most dangerous hour of my life besides arguing with my Fiance' of course :lol8:
I can tell you from first hand experience now , that without snow studds on your Knobbies , these bikes aint worth a crap in the deep snow . They do go ok in it , but it is deadly slippery at best :thumbsup: . I will say it made me pay attention though :thumbsup: I got into second gear once , but re-thunk it and quickly backed her down into first . Made for some fun snow doughnuts though !!!! I think next year I may just make a set of studds if I can afford another set of rims . Would be too much fun !!!!

Dreaming of a white christmas. Beautiful.

Hi KingMarty45 ,
White Christmas is right ! We just got another 8 inches on top of what is in the pics and its snowing again too on top of that tonight . Wheres my snow studds , I am dying here !!!!!

Later , Snortin

Christmas is a decidedly DIFFERENT colour here in Sydney... Still, it is far more conducive to lazy afternoons of boozing in the sun... i.e. a nice hot Xmas picnic :goodtime:

Dude, you got a snowmobile? :icon10:

C "Waiting for the Coffee" C

I wish I had a snowmobile Carl :thumbsup:
We don't useually get this much snow here .
Earlier tonight we lost power for three hours , I guess a tree collapsed under the weight of the snow on our grid somewhere ? A whole 66 people went without power for three hours , boo hoo hoo . I am out in the sticks , so am surprised they got it back on with all the snow out there in the dark . I was kinda whining though , I was about to watch Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer on my new CD X-Mas collection that my gal gave me early for X-Mas . I refuse to grow up , just going to grow old Carl :thumbsup:
Still snowing . If I wasn't so big I would ride the gals Typhoon ATV in this crap .

Glad you finaly ordered Carl , let me know what you think when you try it out ..
---------------------------------------------------------

KingMarty45 ,
more power too ya on that basteing in the hot sun with alcohol thing :thumbsup:
If I drank , I think I would still rather be here with a big fat Brandy laced Egg Nog or a nice Hot Battered Rum , or even a very stiff Jim Beam soaked Coffee watching the snow melt or fall . But hey , X-Mas in the sun aint so bad , especially if your drunk !!!!

Cheers, please have one for me , or make that four for me :lol8:

Damn snow has me stuck at home or I'd be coming out to ride!!!!!!!!

:eekers::eekers:

Just curious, how are ATV's in the snow?

When I went down to the store in my car the other day with 8 inches on the ground I saw several people out with thier ATVS playing around. I am sure it has all to do with what kind of knobbies your running . If my gals truck wasn't stuck in the driveway I would take hers out to play , but having over 16" of snow now that truck aint moving anywhere .
Its still snowing too :thumbsup:
Good storm , definately a WHite X-Mas here . :thumbsup:

Later , you guys are the best ! Snortin out .
Where's Culcune Carl ? I am sure you have touched bases with him by now .

Yo Crash-n-fool ,
good pics , and thanks for the TEXT pic too yesterday , was wondering if you survived the TOY RUN or not anyway . I was at Cabelas when you text me , what a nasty ass road that was yesterday , slippery man slippery .:icon10:
Was comming down highway 510 last night and passed two ATV's about your size doing about 40mph in this crap and they were doing just great !!! That is untill the COPS catch them LOL !

God to see ya show up here , how's life ?

Later, Snortin

Crashn',

Sweet pics! Looks like the ATV's do okay as long as they've got the right tires. Ground clearance doesn't seem to be too much of a problem I guess as long as the snow isn't too powdery.

I've been watching the snow fall in the PNW. Looks like some crazy stuff! Is it mostly wet or dry snow?

Carl,
Crash-n-fool is about 14 miles from my house , so his snow is our snow pretty much .
First snow was heavy powder , then a layer of snowy ice crap , then more powder , then wet snow, now its ice over that from melting and freezing again , and its supposed to snow another 5 inches or more tonight on top of this .

Merry White X-Mas ...
