Default This bike works great on Ice!

I was out riding at reider pit on sunday, There was about of inch of ice on all the trails at the top. The bike worked great. I didn't really loose traction unless I tried to gun it. here's a pic. (I think I may be getting obsessed with my new camera)

Obsessed would be posting 20 pictures, but we would like that!

I used to ride my quad racer on frozen Provo Lake in UT, it was great. Talk about the ultimate power slide

Very nice photo. I take my camera with me on most rides.
You should add your name and location to your signature so that we know where your are.

I would have to disagree with the traction thing. Is your bike stock? I think I see a Muzzy on there. I'm running D606s and they will not grab on the ice at all. If I'm lucky I can get going but most often she just spins. It could be your just a real good rider but I'll keep mine off the ice. My sons bike kicks butt on the ice though and I try to ride a little every few days. I'm getting pretty good in the snow.

BTW. Great pic. Send some of that sun over here.

The tires are stock, but they are mostly bald. I can post a picture of thetiresbefore the muzzy, but since then I have been tearing the heck out of them. I must be a "real good rider" (just kidding). I was able to getup to 35mphon theroad in the picon the brink of loosing control.either way it worked great and I had fun. did not crash this time. (knock on wood)

Looks like a lot of fun! I wish we'd get some snow here. I miss the snow.
