I guess it’s now officially winter here in the Northwest.
It snowed most of the day yesterday in Portland and sub-freezing temp’s are on order for most of the week. Not a huge revelation if you’re local to the area. We’ve sure had some gorgeous fall weather for riding and I doubt we’re going to see anymore of those 50 degree days for good awhile.
But just because it’s winter does not mean you can’t take out your motorcycle for a ride. I’m of the viewpoint that when the snow and ice start coating the asphalt it’s no place for a motorcycle, but others may think differently. In fact, if your so inclined there is a conversion kit that will turn a dirt bike into what’s called a SnoxCycle in a little over an hour. For about $3K you could be riding a motorcycle on snow that is a thrilling experience.
Dirt bikes often get parked in the garage for much of the winter months, but this conversion will have you racing snowmobiles in record time.
