Combined with low temperature grease, disc brakes and hippo hands, you see them out until maybe around -20F. <br /><br />Snowmachines, as snowmobiles are called up here, are fun but with the exception of the old dual-track tundra, very un-bike like. The tundra had a single front ski and dual tracks. Very popular for hauling and you had to really lean into the corners (with a lot of throttle) to make sharp turns. I don't think they've been manufactured for over 30 years but you still see them running around.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-88690075356100689392010-08-30T21:44:53.925-08:002010-08-30T21:44:53.925-08:00Hi Richard,

I can deal with the cold and rain as long as I can still ride my bikes...motor and pedal. I'm not sure how I'd handle a winter without riding. I think I'd have to get one of those sidecar set ups...or maybe a snowmobile...that might be fun!Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.com
