Off road-Canadian style.
« on: December 02, 2010, 12:41:41 PM »
Yeah,I know it's fourstroke but I stuck it up anyway as someone was talking about track kits a while back.If you click on the highlighted yellow text after some of the pics there are some pretty good vids-especially the "I'm a happy man" at the end.As well there are some links etc to other track set ups in various replies to the op's thread.So there.

I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

I would like to see a 500AF or a Maico 700 with a snow setup. :)

Even my old KTM 495 is execellent in the snow.

Modest beginings start with a single blow of a horn, man.

I tried riding in the snow once.  Didn't get very far.



Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I've been told that of all the track kits-especially in powder or deep snow.Better on hardpack but won't turn well as the track is fixed laterally like a snowmobile.ADBoivins tilts so you can lean like a bike but they are still said to be a power robbing unit.That's why I always thought the snowhawks would be a good compromise 600 or 800 cc twin 2t has a little more oomph under the hood for snow.

When that snow melts, the lawn is going to look like it's been attacked by the Dukes of Hazzard!
