Woke up this morning at 5am to a bunch of fresh powder. First snowfall of the season. Resisted the urge to pull out the trike right then and there and let my neighbours sleep a bit more. haha minute 7am hit I was out drifting on my front lawn while everyone was out cleaning off their cars. Man I love this time of year. Snow riding has to be the best. Just hanging off the side of the trike and drifting forever in the cold air.:TrikesOwn

Nothing better than rippin the trike in the winter. I love when we get about 5-6 inches of snow in the lake and you can slide for what seems like miles. It needs to get cold and snow in WI!!!

Snow season is just around the corner for us. Seems the last couple years or so we have gotten decent snowfalls the first week of Dec. I've been working to get my sled and blower ready to go.

Yesterday was a near perfect snow riding day here too. Frozen over shallow pools, dried out snow covered lake bed, hill climbs, culverts, and some great technical riding. Everything is better in the snow :)

Love the snow, bet you were getting the "he's crazy" look.

My neighbors would shoot me for doing that at 7 am.

Do it at nighttime. About 1-2am flying down the dead streets covered in snow. The cops hate it, but wont chase you because its a hazard. HAHA.

I can't wait for winter. I live on a large lake. I don't care what time it is, it's always time here. No snow or ice yet though. Unseasonably warmer temps up here in Wisconsin right now. Good for work though.

I can almost say the same thing about here, but we do get several inches ever so often.

Wish I had taken pics this past Winter....we got about 4-5 inches. I turned the Tecate loose!

I love southern snows.....we get to shut down, hunt, drink, and play when the white flakes start piling up.

Had an absolute blast ripping, sliding, and doing donuts up and down my street after 5-6 inches of snow. Even though I"m 42, feel like a kid out on this thing. My neighbors probably think "grow up", I"m not gonna, because I'm having too much fun!!!!!

We just got almost a foot last night. I was out when it was coming down heavy whipping around in the field and the road. One car was creaping down the road at like 10 mph, they must have thought I was crazy. I am going to try to flag a track though the field so I know where the rocks are and I can drift without worring I'm going to smack a wheel into a boulder. Hopefully gonna hit some trails today. What kinda gloves are you guys using in winter?

We got a good 8"-12" and its still coming down. Just went for a ride though the field, down the road, and hit a good curvy, hilly fireroad. Its so fun to drift on this thing. I am so hooked on three wheelers now. Here some pictures. I would get some of the trail but the batteries in my camera died after these two pics. This is what the field looks like right now, maybe with a couple more inches since I took the pic. Unfortunately its also my garage........jealous huh? I was trying to check my valve clearances between snow gusts.

we got lots of snow friday, lost it and today got back twice as much. the plow/salt truck hasnt come up yet and I was sliding around the roads with 2 of my buddies on quads too. felt like tokyo drift! nothin beats a town with around 300 people! I over slid one curve and barely corrected it. i almost went right into a fence! :lol: I love how fast a big red can gear down in emergencies!

Well, last week when i was going to take out the bike, i was faced with a flat tire caused by dry rotting, well between school and everything else i got for the first decent run on the bike, however i took the quad:wondering out due to lack of funds to get new tires for the trike. Well regardless here are some pics,
