For you diehards up north of me who just can't give up the bike with all the snow, here's an accessory for you - in addition to the studded snows and tire chains, it's a set of outriggers mounted on shocks to keep you upright. Any takers?

That's really cool...

They could make the same thing for new riders but put wheels on the side instead of skis. :)

Enlarge the pic. The front tire is a knobby and the rear has some type of chain or cord on it in a X pattern. Looks like a perfect way to play in the snow. The skis have suspension and flexability like a snowmobile. And you are street legal too.

I haven't done it with mine, but there are riders who take their Yamaha TW200's, with those large knobby off-road tires, out in the snow and they have a lot of fun and seem to do OK. I can't try that because we have no snow down here (thank god for that, no more of that for me).

The TW or the no snow?
C'mon down, we'll go out fishing or sailing. It's been in the 70's all week, perfect weather, but will get in the 60's next week. Still better than 30's.
That pic is looking out my backyard. You don't want to see the rest of the view, it would hurt too much. :) :tongue:

Your clear blue skies and warmer temps are what I am seeing. Our location sees a lot of overcast and rain during winter. A bit north up in Whistler is cooler with clear skies and snow. World class ski hills and all that good stuff.
Being the Outdoors Recreation Capital of Canada is quite a bonus for folks in Squamish. It is really sort of sad that I never developed any interests in so many of the activities here. But I do get to ride and see all the beautiful sites whenever the weather allows me to ride. Been kicking around the idea of real winter tires on the Ranger and some travelling to relieve some mid winter boredom. Maybe after Christmas and the new year.
