Winterized dirt bike....COOL!

Post by williamcstonejr »

For anyone with a dirtbike this would be a fun conversion for winter. You will have to watch a quick commercial first.

I have seen those locally on the snowmobile trails. They are a unique ride.

Filmed near me in Caldwell and McCall, ID. Those do look cool.
Are some others: Ktrak rear drive kit and 2moto Radix I believe it was their bike race at McCall yesterday.
Wanna see a "redneck version"?

This is a TW200 like mine. I think that fat rear tire chained up would offer plenty of go in the snow. I think I could fab a front ski. I might just keep my eyes open for some parts to do it someday.

I never put a ski on mine, a fresh set of tires usually did the trick.

In his sig. No mountains since the glaciers, I think. We had to drive 40 minutes to find our version or "Dead Man's Curve" in HS. Lots of impromptu drag racing though.

I am fairly sure the Blaster is an ATV (four wheeler) ?

We will have to wait for the next ice age to smooth out our "hills".
