That's awesome!I hope they came stock with studded tires.
Actually it would probably be easier to sell one right now with a timbersled kit on it. Ha!
When you get cabin fever really bad, fly down to TN and I will take you riding. WE can ride here in the winter!

Here in Arkansas, the best time of the year for riding has just started. Cool days, and good visibility in the woods. Thanks Clay!

WOW...Here in MN my local State riding spot is done Nov 1st, but snowmobiling should start up in December. I love riding bike but can't wait for the snow!

In calgary you gotta ride in the cold or your season would be 2 months long lol, we should be on studs in another week or 2 then it really gets gnarly! I friggin love riding in the snow though, it makes our difficult trails look like a friggin extreme enduro.

Only ever saw snow once.. cold and wet and nothing like I imagined it would be. All I remember is the horrid burn of fingers colder than ice.
I imagine even once the snow starts to melt the trails would be epicly challenging.. like a mixture of mud and snow!
The wet season here is by far my fav time of year. Riding around with both axles deep in water, mud or both!

Maybe you should just get a sled??
You guys call that "Skidooing" up there... right?

Nope tried that and the wife barely tolerates my day trips, gotta go to golden or revelstoke(4 hour drive) for the good sledding(or skidooing )
And besides I think I like riding snow single track better than I like sledding

It's weird right! You get use to the cold(or wet) and it becomes just a new challenge for me. I just want to be on two wheels as much as possible so I have to adapt or I won't get to ride so sun rain or snow ill deal with it ya know!

Hey Jakobi....you should try jetting changes on a sled in below 0 F weather. Bare skin & gas
takes some getting use to.

That concept can be carried over to riding down here in the summer.
Many riders just won't do singletrack when the temp hits 106F (and above.); but... if I want to ride in July or August, I just have to put cold water in the Camelbak and adjust my efforts accordingly. (I try to not ride over my head, and try to not stop. That would stop my personal air cooling.
I may even jump in a creek for a break.)For me, the ride is worth the adjustment.
Good Riding to All Y'all!

It also needs a rider who doesn't let a bunch of west coast fluffers tell him what to ride.

Yeah, it has been around for years. 28 mile quad/UTV trail. A little sandy, a few rocks, a few hills. Nothing challenging. 80 year old man on a GS1200 could make it around. It's fun a few times a year to just go haul ass in 4th gear around it. A little on the dangerous side for faster riders due to lots of quads and head on collisions. It is sort of a last resort place when everything else is closed.

Thanks Chris.
I'm loving my 2011 EC250.
Last Sunday, we were "beating the bushes", trying to find the old grown over and storm damaged trails at Kirby on the Bear Creek Trail. (We were doing the initial work to ready the area for our Hare Scramble in March.)
The going was very slow in a lot of it, as we worked our way around downed trees and heavy brush. The three Gassers just chugged along, but the two modern KTM 250 were having to break off the search periodically to ride down some open stuff to keep from boiling over.
30# huh? Can't tell it as long as I'm not picking it up off the ground. Even then, it doesn't seem too much to me. I'm happy with mine.
