Default Michigan winter riding pics

I noticed just yesterday that a tracked vehicle from the power company was inspecting a nearby powerline, so I rode down there today and decided the follow its tracks for a little fun. There were a couple of hills that were fairly steep, hard to tell the angle in the pics.

I only got stuck once, but I took a shovel with me so it wasn't too bad.

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Stendori, there is about three feet of snow on this powerline. We've had about 250" of snowfall this season. There was no way I was going to try and venture off the tracks made by that snow vehicle. LOL!!

Rocks, the fronts are 8" wide. They look skinny compared to the rears, but they work great. I've used them in every kind of riding (had them on my 500 too) except deep mud, and they work great.

Stendori, forgot the number question you had, I'm a Matt Kenseth fan and my boy wanted me to put the number on the ATV, but I didn't want anything crazy on it.

And the decal is still good, until the end of March. Wierd the way Michigan is, instead of the calendar year like you'd think they have it from April 1st through March 31st.
