Default Use your Raptor in the snow?

I just rode for about 5 hours today in the snow....I just had the most fun I have had in my life. This is why I got it....for the snow
ripping it, grabbin clutch in and turning and yankin on some throttle and lettin out the clutch and donut galore. my clutch is a little worse for wear but I had a blast. I understand a lot of you guys only ride in places with sand so your quads look like they are brand new...well my 03 is lookin like a 85 right now and I love it

I cant wait to go back out tomrorow and do it again

oh and I did this while I Was at work. ahhhh the perks of working at a dealership [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I just got home of riding my Raptor in the snow. What a blast. I took it out to see if my tranny was going out. It did fine.

We rode and froze our a$$ off. Huge blast. We went and got a car hood for next time. Can't wait to roost the person on the sled....

Some of the funnest riding I've ever done has been in the winter. Perfect conditions are when it is warm one day, and then it freezes overnight so in the morning the snow has a nice ice layer on top. That way you can ride all over the place and everything is smoothed over like the dunes--but hard [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] fun fun...

Ya'll sure do make that freezing cold sound fun. I don't think I could take it any more. It got down to a frigid 37 today and I could barley walk 200' to the mail box all bundled up.

You do know when I said 37 that is the low at like 4 in the am. It got up to 50 I think. I used to be able to handle the cold, not any more though.
