That would be a hard no from me, dog. Well done!

damn hardcore. Ive ridden in pretty deep slow a long time ago on an OLD (65? 500 cc) bmw with a sidecar, was fun but we needed smokes and beer, and foodstuffs. Was a borrowed rig, the girl across the street where i lived in kansas, her dad owned the local shop and it was his. man, fun times but .. nope. kudos.

You're a madman! Looks like a blast. Just came in off the old big red (three wheeler), it was a blast too, but there are no cars for me too look out for. Be safe buddy.

Thanks, gang. I went slow and steady, 12-15 mph and feet down only once. Chains held up beautifully. It’s currently still snowing hard. I get out of work at 10 pm, then slow ride back home. It’s going to be like riding on the moon. Amazing. I’ll post when I get home, but don’t worry, I’m being super careful.

Many years ago after a big storm I charged the mighty 6V battery and put it in my CT-90. Put the little beast in low/low and took off. I made it about 15 feet and buried it in a snow drift so deep it didn't even tip over when I got off.

Wow, don't think I've ever seen chains on a motorcycle tire!

Ok Gang, I made it back home. The paved/semi-plowed parts were super slick, the unpaved/unplowed parts were a bit of a slog, and the unpaved/well plowed parts were a dream. Never above 15mph, feet down and bike swung perpendicular to the road a few times, but no falls. Tire ruts were harder to deal with than making fresh tracks. Cheers all, and happy riding.

Oh, yeah. One thing I’ve learned so far: it’s a fine line between badass and dumbass.

Dmonkey has more experience than me with tire chains. He’s got a post on here with photos and excellent advice for running with chains. I don’t know how to link to it.

YUTAKA Tire Snow Chain SNOW417 - Winter Traction

With heated grips, Barkbusters, Hippo Hands, and knobby tires my Hunter Cub had been doing alright getting me places on most winter days, but there has still been the challenge of ice, and more commonly snow over ice due to the freeze and thaw cycles. These are the times when the bike gets...
