Thanks Gipper. The rig currently has Heidenau K37 tires. They do great on snow as they're knob than the stock tires which are Duro 308 tires. Still, stock tires would probably have been fine as well today. I didn't even have to engage 2WD.

The rig handles fine, the front wheel sometimes becomes more of a rudder than a steering device but then you just modulate with the throttle and all is well.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
