Just bored guys about ready to fall asleep, plowing snow! We used to go to the motorcycle ice races bitd which inspired us to double up our tires with nails on the outside one and go to the neighborhood pond and rip it up! Be careful though check that thickness first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This subject came up a little while ago and I talked a couple of different guys to go ride some ice on a sidehack. They posted some pics. It looked like fun.

We don't get much ice here in SoCal.

It's funny how some of these posts jog my memory for things I'd forgotten. I vaguely remember taking an old Comp III and pushing screws through them. I never made it to the ice, but think I took my bike out in the snow with the studded tire. My mother probably thought I was on drugs.

Thanks guys!
There was some cool stuff in that Dec. post. This site has brought back a lot of good memories, when we did whatever we could do to get OUT of the house and have fun. Not even winter could stop us from gettin the bikes out!
From the other post Bridge - just bought a 4-lane afx track for the kids at x-mas w/ 4 g-pluses. They seemed disappointed at first "it wasn't a Wii" until they started racing they all have 3-4 cars a piece now and you know I had to get my own !!

Forget the studded tires! It was way more fun to get going as fast as you can then power slide without losing it.

I was always out on the lake with my bike... when I wasn't playing hockey. Fortunately, I never lost a bike cause of thin ice but I know many who have.

did someone say snow power slide? Me in 1981

Hemidart, that is a total cool (no pun intended) shot...

Cool pix for sure

The first Mongoose Bike Gallery ever purchased. Complete with snow spikes.

It was mild steel and hence the bent top tube. This shot was around 76 as it has Suzuki bars and stem on it. When we went to Suzuki's and then quickly DG's. The old Geese were retired to street bikes.
