| Snow Well, after some precision finagling of the garage arrangement, I was able to get the XR400 out.
A cool side-effect of this is, I found some cool trails through the woods right at the back of our neighborhood! I'll have to explore them more indepthly when the snow melts.

| Re: Snow Ride Just don't try the 360 degree backflip like Brian Deegan on the X-Games. I just saw the highlight.  Two broken wrists and a broken femur. Ouch. |

| Re: Snow Ride Yep, dirt bikes suck on ice. They're pretty fun in the snow though. And if you get real thirsty you just grab a handful of snow when you stop for a break....I crash too much to wear a Camelback. |

| I am with you HondaGal...One of the reasons I sold my 4 wheeler is b/c I was tired of hiking that thing everywhere just to go for a little ride.  |

| Re: Snow Ride How well do dirtbikes handle in the snow? I was thinking about getting one for the next Michigan winter. My truck sucks.

Never rode a dirtbike. | If it's powder, not too bad. If it's iced over, fuggedaboudit. |
