Great ride today. Snow started a little crusty but softened in the afternoon, great riding. Sure helps keep us in shape, at least a little.

Rode dodge today. temp about 1degree, 8-12 inches of solid snow, made two laps of lower section... was awesome
will post video later today.
stud up and ride

posted video on front tire durability on youtube

Did Tire maintaince on the rear of a 450 yesterday, had to tighten up about 10 studs and replace one. Tire has about 15 hours of ride time.
Maintaince is important for tire life and not losing studs. It is a simple job that only takes minutes.
I dont have the same issue of studs working out on the 300, It must be related to the torque of the 450's
Not an issue, just good preventative maintaince.

Riding again on sunday, conditions were great. very little snow.
Will be putting on hand warmers, tired of cold hands at the beginnig of the ride.
Winter gloves are too thick for my hand and seem to create arm pump. Could be just me, out of shape.

Riding was awesome on sunday. Traction was incredible, go anywhere. Totally sick.
Got Coe back out on his bike. First ride back from his crash, hes still got it - for and old guy anyway.

My helper is always eager to get in there. Just trying to keep the irons from whacking her is a challenge. Love it.

The Cranbrook Mexican Ride was an absolute blast. 31 riders took off about 1pm returning near dark. 1 blown up bike, 2 broken had to go home, but most made the loop.
Great Ride, great bunch of guys.
Seeya next year, Im bringing my trailer, had to leave when the fun was just pickin up.
next year.
