I'm not very excited about your below 0 trips but then until I really have 3 wheels and can experience those rides for myself I better just keep my enthusiasm and confidence in check.Coop a.k.a.

Bikes are still on the road and nobody is shaking their head. Double digit temps most days up until yesterday and promised again for later in the week.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-60940535517851044102015-11-23T20:39:25.480-09:002015-11-23T20:39:25.480-09:00First gear isn't anywhere near low enough.

It should be nice riding...<br /><br />Yes, I have an Antigravity XP-3 battery with me but so far, I've only needed to use it on other vehicles and to charge the iPad. Plus there's always the kick starter which I use about once a week.

No snow here yet but certainly cold enough. <br /><br />Do you keep an Anti-Gravity battery with you should your main battery fail to start the rig?Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-2029483642051076282015-11-23T19:06:08.859-09:002015-11-23T19:06:08.859-09:00Chains, studs, new battery....

The Ural has had no problem going up and down the hill though 2WD has been needed more often this year than last. The tire has a lot less tread now compared to last year when they were still new.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-76483538864687824942015-11-22T21:38:43.970-09:002015-11-22T21:38:43.970-09:00Ughhhh...snow!

At the time I didn't think that my battery was worn out but once it started to get cold, the 3+ year old battery was starting to show it's age.<br /><br />I like the 2 into 1 exhaust with the muffler mounted high on the right but don't like the price tag. I had the chains with me but didn't put them on.

I've had the rig "float" on its mufflers before....it helps to have fellow uralisti around for such times, but I also now try to remember to bring my self-recovery gear.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.com
