yeah i allready have plans on a new snowbike but am not sure which frame to use? i have a very nice speedway shrike complete that has some rewelds on it but would make a awsome snow bike! I have the fronty ski and tread system, engines and everything i need just a point of getting to it, but it will be done this winter!
I gotta get my butt in gear and finish up my track bike its almost done:thumbsup:

Winter riding can be fun and very challenging.
I dont do it anymore as I'm older(old) and work outside all day and about sick of it by the time I get home.
We may take the mule out this winter for some kicks.
I used to ride a yamaha 250 enduro out on the lakes and it was a blast.
I just used my legs to keep the bike upright and to change direction I'd just blip the throttle to break the rear tire traction and re-aim the bike then let off the throttle until the tire hooked up then ease on the throttle.It was fun and on an frozen open lake you can get some speed up.
Screws in the tires help alot but tear up the tires a little and it takes time to put them in.We used to use short hex head sheet metal screws and it worked well.I needed hundreds of them to do my blasters tires.

I guess I going to have to keep a eye out for snowblowers with tracks, I usually look at them on craigslist just for the motors, Most I seen around here do not have tracks just the snow hog tires on them. They would make for a fun project. It would be neat to fab them to a old Honda ATC 110 frame or custom build the frame using ATC parts.
