Deep sand - the solution!
 
Hey, for all you guys down in Florida with that deep sugar sand - I found the perfect solution. Forget trying to find the perfect tire that doesn't sink and you end up pushing it along. You need AWD - all wheel drive - let your front wheel pull you through!

Check this out:

That's pretty crazy. I bet it would work! Looks like it's got a second sprocket that's driven off the CS sprocket that turns a shaft inside the frame which transfers power to a pair of shafts at the front fork and on to the front wheel. I bet it's expensive - requires a whole new frame.


And on an unrelated note, someone was asking about an aftermarket kick stand. Found this:

Looks pricey at $149, also, only a few bikes are listed but if you were really interested you could call and see what it might take to fit one to the KLX. The way this one stows it looks like it might hit the coolant overflow or battery. Anyway, I just saw it and thought I'd pass it on since I remember someone asking about one.

Hummm...... a front tire that could grab and pull when let down in sugar sand, sounds good.
What about deceleration, don't want the front grabbing during a downshift. http://floridasportsman.com/art/why.gif
