I used to love riding in the snow when I was young

When I was in high school, I loved nothing more then riding my XR100 in the snow in the field behind my house. And today, longing for days of yore, I decided to take the DR650 out for a ride in the field behind my house. Weeeeeeelllllll... Let me tell you.... a DR650 is a TAD heavier then an XR100, and "Dual sport" tires don't have quite the same grip in the snow as full knobbies do.

nothing broke on the bike (So far as I have found yet) our myself, although I think I will have a few more bruises then just my ego.

Soooo.... any one else do something stupid today?

I got the kids' e-bike out and let'm ride around. It was funny. He was slippin' all over the place, crashed a few times, accidently went into a donut. Then the dog was chasing him down and pullin on his snow pants.

Even though it would have been fun, I didn't feel like messing with the old gas bikes this time.

Sounds like a good time was had by all.

Since I bought my 350 EXC-F, I decided to setup my old 450 for the winter. Had a blast!

OK...not mine. Just a pic I stole.

I did not realize S Johnson County got so much snow.

It really looks tall.
What is the seat height on that thing.
Didn't realize your legs were that long.

Touching the ground is for sissies.

In all seriousness, riding a dirt bike in snow-covered field is a blast. Slick pavement and/or ice not so much, but a snow-covered field is really, really fun to ride a dirt bike in....up to the point it's too deep to move of course.

Troy, You're not fooling me. No "stitches" on the fender. It's a HOAX folks.
