i actually rode it back and forth down the road. It has to be the right texture and not drove on to do it, My wife couldn't get a very good picdon't know how dude is staying on that bike, with balls that big haha having rode in snow only one time, by complete mistake, that's a whole lot of nope for me.
braver man than i! i could see fresh, dry powder being somewhat alright since the snow caking on the tires would help keep traction, but anything else would be terrifying without knobbies or even those crazy spiked tires people in Michigan use to ride on the frozen lakes.i actually rode it back and forth down the road.

Yeah only thing worse is trying that shit on dirt bike with knobbies! Lol been there done that - never againdon't know how dude is staying on that bike, with balls that big haha having rode in snow only one time, by complete mistake, that's a whole lot of nope for me.
knobbies actually harder unless they are spiked for icebraver man than i! i could see fresh, dry powder being somewhat alright since the snow caking on the tires would help keep traction, but anything else would be terrifying without knobbies or even those crazy spiked tires people in Michigan use to ride on the frozen lakes.
which one was more fun? i'd think the street glide with its heft would be a bit more manageable, but even a 500 lb bike can be fun as well in slick conditionsthis was the sporty. half the weight of the street glide

i wouldn't expect that... would think that the tires clearing out would offer some more grip into the fresh snow. good to know!O

Felt more stable on the streedgide but either way if they got away from me it would not have been pretty.which one was more fun? i'd think the street glide with its heft would be a bit more manageable, but even a 500 lb bike can be fun as well in slick conditions

y'all tempting me to try to get the rebel out whenever we have some snow on the ground. intentionally trying to ride in it will be a fun exercise in rider skill. won't do it again with the SV, too damn top heavy and even though the sport touring tires on it are awesome all the way down to about 30f, she gets loose in the back (entirely rider induced, she's a damn safe ride ime). but the rebel is light, low, and just might be a hell of a good time on some fresh powder!
You're crazy man. You'd never catch me riding a bike of any kind in the snow lol. Either way, its still cool.Felt more stable on the streedgide but either way if they got away from me it would not have been pretty.
that's what i was wondering. there's gotta be something said for the weight of the big boy. damn right, too, if you weren't on point with your controls, shit happens 10x faster on ice/snow. bet it was fun as hell though!Felt more stable on the streedgide but either way if they got away from me it would not have been pretty.
Think about riding knobbies on regular pavement- slick in its own rightwhich one was more fun? i'd think the street glide with its heft would be a bit more manageable, but even a 500 lb bike can be fun as well in slick conditions

yeah... that is a big reason i'm not gonna turn the rebel into a scrambler. thought about doing some suspension work and making it more like a ducati desert sled, but after reading how terrible knobbies are on pavement + having very little experience on aggressive offroad tires opted outta that idea.Think about riding knobbies on regular pavement- slick in its own right
Dude I caught Parvo once. I have no idea how. It’s horrible. Took months of huge doses of prednisone, antibiotics and Percocet to recover from. Terrible disease.this boi just turned one year old on the 4th. from a 19lb parvo, giardia stricken pup to the donkey-esque teenage butthole he is

in the course of the dog recovering, i did quite a bit of research. parvovirus is a not fuck around thing man. human parvo can lead to lifetime neurological problems well beyond the viral infection. glad you survived; it's rare humans get it anymore but it's still a thing.Dude I caught Parvo once.
