= so much fun it should be illegal! We got 6" yesterday and another couple this morning and since I have the day Off I figured I should go play :naughty: Took out the 185s and left my mark on every road in town... TWICE! haha. Most fun I've had with clothes on in a loooong time. I forgot my sled's carb at work so I have to amuse myself till monday somehow right?

Might have to add a couple wobbly pops into the equation :twisted:

Anyone have a pic of the honda (big red?) with the ski and tracks?

I used chains on my YT175 last winter and they worked great. It could go through much more deep snow than the knobbies by themselves could.

We just got a fresh foot of the white stuff here in Northeast Pa overnight! :w00t: Kinda early in the season compared to the last few years... we didn't even start raking leaves yet!

Sure wish I had a running wheeler to rip it up. :naughty:

Chris, a foot?? Holy cow, that's awesome. I grew up riding in tons of snow, then my family moved to AZ and haven't ridden since. I'm looking forward to heading out in the snow this winter. I just hope I can keep warm enough to last. My feet were freezing on Sat while I was out and it wasn't even that cold.

Knobbies and chains are the ticket in snow. even the old 200 will go through a foot and a half, no problem. other things that help are a over inflated front tire or large lugged (gator/mudlight..) tires, if you can turn um..

had the 200s out in some fresh stuff last year, lots of fun!

Yup! I live right on the southwest edge of the pocono mountians and i must say I was pretty shocked when I woke up this morning! :Bounce It's gonna be in the 50's the next few days so most of it will be gone in no time.. :cry:

sure would be nice to have a few inches on the ground for deer season next week.

Ya gotta dress for the occasion!

aren't those chains kind of dangerous???

its only like a quarter of an inch of plastic keeping them from flying into your leg if they let go...

i have the chains all ready but only if its very deep... and they will be used strictly to get a path made at below 3rd gear speeds....
