Oh, yeah... I tried snow-riding on the Busa in a freak late spring snowstorm north of Reno... I was pretty lucky not to have skidded right off the road several times:

Hayabusa Snowplow: just no fun!

Heh, I rode over Molas and Coal bank passes in CO on the old Blackbird. That was no fun at all. Longest 20 miles I have ever ridden. I only had to pick up it once - dropped on the side bag going up hill at about 2 Mph. Hardest part was getting it back upright and getting going again uphill lease:

I was caught in a snow storm one night plowed right through four inches of snow n slush. I believe I pulled some cotton out my seat

My dad told me he tried for 30 minute to get up a hill that lead from his apartments (under ground parking) then had to give up. I asked what he planned on doing once he got out... one step at a time he told me.

I would never do that. No, not ever.

No thanks, but I am headed out in heavy fog today, does that count? ... I hear 162 is open again. Gotta go check it out before the snows arrive.

You guys are funny! Tim, you probably got the picture for any condition, LOL.

In all the seriousness, those studs would probably handle ice better than slush.

Hey Tim, thanks for including another org member in that 4th shot! This reminds me, I need to Winterize my Busa, which means to hook up electric clothes plugs and get coldweather gear out. Doyle

I would never do that. No, not ever.

[Gitonit!]

Nope, not me. Getting the KingQuad out and towing the kids around on the sled in the back 40 acres..sure!

 

[superbeagle]

Once on my 750. That was no fun. However on dirt bike and three wheeler that was a blast.

 

[lankeeyankee]

I am going to put some knobbies on mine and take it off road do some table tops, hit some triples...

On snow? No. Near snow? Why not?

It's the road-salt that scares me. Cold? I've got heated grips for that.
