Spyder in the snow!

[mindman]

Just ordered the custom winter conversion package for the spYder. Should get it delivered in about ten days. 7-8 hours to convert it. Will have to take pictures when done.

What the heck is the winter conversion package? Sounds very interesting! Do tell!

Probably the opposite of this conversion package for a snowmobile. Retractable wheels that you put on your snowmobile for road riding.

I find them to be very poor in the snow. Better than 2 wheels but not much traction at all, then the nanny kicks in a lot and makes it hard to gain any speed if you are sliding back and forth as you accelerate. Forget doing donuts. The same electronic features that keep you safe at speed on pavement kick in way too early when the roads get slippery with snow.

I ride all Winter here in MA but when it snows I leave it home until the next day. If it snows when I am at work I can get home on it, but I won't say it's fun. More safe and slow.

I've had the exact same experience and do the same things.

I ride all year round here in Newfoundland, but not when it's really snowing out... mostly only when the roads are cleared, at least somewhat. Otherwise I'm taking a bus or walking it. :thumbup:
