re: Riding in snow tips.
Why ?
There are limits to what should be attempted on two wheels. If it is a question of riding in the vicinity of snow,on dry clear road surfaces then go for it but if one is actually contemplating riding through snow on public roads do some serious thinking about modifying the route or time schedule to avoid it if at all possible. If you want to experience riding in snow first wait for winter and take a dirtbike out near home , with someone watching, into a snow covered field or parking lot and get stuck and fall down all you like without the risk of getting run over by four wheelers or landing in a desolate ditch and freezing to death.It seems to escape some that where there is snow it invariably will be cold, very cold and unbelievably cold. Snow is just another name for ice, and two wheels are not enough.All the fancy thermal underwear and electric heated clothing can only work to a point, and if you fall down, kill the bike and drain the battery you will get hypothermia .
