    Everybody I say this too about riding in the snow and ice storms just don't realize how much fun it really is. We had the snowmobile riders shaking there heads too but they didn't see the ice screws.

    About 15/20 years ago when one got into riding when the snow and ice came we stopped riding. Thinking there had to be something we could do to the bike I purchased cheap short sheet metal screws. We took the three bikes out to a local riding spot and had a blast in the snow and ice. It was a hoot riding.

    Now after .experimenting with gloves and cold hands the Polaris snowmobile gloves worked great. Having the full plastic covers on the bark busters keeps the wind off your hands. I purchased the sportsmansguide leather mittens with the wool inside and put on a pair of danmart gloves first then put on the mittens over them. These were super warm also.

    The snow and ice ride can really be enjoyed if your toasty warm. The insulated cold weather hunting clothes helps too. I use the 1,000 grams of thinsulated hunting boots too. The one piece long johns also keeps the cold off your lower back. Then a insulated bib and jacket or the one piece insulated hunting suit works awesome.

    The two important things are prepping the bike with ice screws and having the warm gear. Don't forget to pull the needle up one slot in the carb or riches the jetting if needed so it doesn't run lean. Most of the time I change the pilot jet and pull up the needle.

    Just some thoughts I have learned I'm sure most here know this but I have brain fade sometimes and a refresh helps.
