Grin Hello my swedish friend. You cannot fool us. Only if you would have spikes I would even wonder this to be possible.

Street tires on the ice? You definitely got some big ones.

How many times have you put that thing down on ice or snow? If it were me there wouldnt be much left on either side of that bike.

Two words... tire chains. It IS kinda fun though, and to see the look on cagers faces as you go by on a bike... Grin My friend Doug will ride in up to 5 inches of snow on his 1500 Drifter.

You'd probably get along with Digger.
Me? I'm waiting until it's ~45 degrees when I wake up and after the streets have been swept free of salt.

I love'd to try chains, but there is'nt room enogh cos i changed my rear tire to a bigger one. Last weeek we had -18*celsius and that is cold i can tell. The worst parts to protect is the fingers on the throtelhand, the left hand is easy to warm up on the engine while driving Smiley

Old Swedish army thumbgloves when under -0celsius, dont know what that's in fahrenheit, tryed with fingerglove's but they dont work when it's reealy cold. The biggest problem when driving in a lot of snow is that the airfilter will be coverd whit snow and the bike sometimes therefore will die
