How many of you ride for the whole winter season and what are some MUST HAVE items. I am going to get some handguards so my fingers dont freeze.

just get yourself a good set of coveralls, and gloves..then you will be fine.

Good face mask too!

Ya it's awesome riding in the snow, I was yesterday. Just get some warm gloves and something to keep your face warm and it's awesome fun . You can just whip out the back end like nothing. By the way, DANYEO it's 86250R.I remember you from exterme atv, I use to post to you,now I am again.

Ya definatley a good pair of gloves...

xr100r-I heard the niagra area got hit pretty good with snow in the last couple of days...how is it at your house??...we have about 3in. here that's all.

Not for me, living downunder summer starts in
2 weeks. Has been 30 deg C the last couple of
weeks. I,m from Melbourne Victoria, I've never
rode in snow. 450 es 2000 model.

I think everybody would aree with me in sayin that a shovel is essential if you ride in the snow. A tow rope wouldnt be to shabby either. (just in case)

How much snow? Well let's see......Last year I was good to about 18" or so of packed snow, but you need a full skid pan and cover in the front some so you don't get your A-arms and oil cooler filled with snow. Up here we also consider either heated grips or thumb warmers to keep our hands warm.

Hey CRUD! Did you get all that flooding in your area as well?

I think Buffalo just got pounded with a snow storm. My cousin lives in Gouverneour NY which is NW of Watertown, Man they get sooo much snow up there!!! I hate the Winter.

Hey, how's it going. I used to have relatives in Scarbourgh, or something like that which is near Toronto. Whats it like where you ride? I drove my car around lake ontario, nice country up there. The beer is stronger up there, burp!!
Where we ride it is lots of sand near the shore of the Atlantic ocean and lots of Pine trees. Up north there is lots of rocks. I would assume you have lots of open land to ride.

Didn't get flooded out, the floods were 1000 klm's to the north of me in New South Wales. Seen your
webpage BigRed it is very good.
