Dmouse Posted November 2, 2015 You must feel fortunate to still be able to ride, this week here in Massachusetts is supposed to be close to 70 during the day. When do you usually see your first snowfall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thumper3 Posted November 3, 2015 You must feel fortunate to still be able to ride, this week here in Massachusetts is supposed to be close to 70 during the day. When do you usually see your first snowfall? Hard to say around here. we could have snow tomorrow or none till January 1st. I drove the pig a few times in the middle of winter in bone chilling temperatures. However, i'm done with that foolishness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dmouse Posted November 3, 2015 When I was in my 20's, I used to put 1/4inch hex head sheet metal screws in the tires of my TT350, and offroad all winter. Back then, we weren't getting a lot of snow, ice and cold temps were the main concerns. Last year, starting in late January, we got absolutely buried in snow over a 3 or 4 week period. What kind of winter was it in NB last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of winter was it in NB last year? Broke a record for snow fall. I had to go up on my roof about 12 times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flagstaff Posted November 8, 2015 ...Just another day for the modified pig "with" a standard rear tube. No challenge for the CST Surge...lol Got a canyon in Arizona that looks very similar, only bigger boulders. Martin Canyon, or "Smiley Rock". Haven't heard of another rider in it, though I'm guessing some must have. Saw a video of a 4x4 going through it. Anyway 1 mile in 1 hour on a KLR650. Dumped it once on each side, the second time to keep the scratches and dents balanced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And breaking stuff 1/2 of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was part of the Great Western Trail, so I thought I had to do it. I later learned there was an accepted alternative route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thumper3 Posted November 11, 2015 Stripped down L? ...Very stripped down L. Right down to the rear aluminum sprocket. Still street legal though. Take a close look at the pic above closely for all the changes. It's primary use is for ripping through the woods. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
