Anybody tried a snow bike?

 Got a sore throat from yelling and blew out my shouder throwing dirty
dishes at the TV while trying to watch our clusterf*ck of a president
spewing tripe all over my living room...figured I'd throw an on-topic
query to my favorite group instead:

I've seen a fair amount of action on the forums regarding snow bike
conversions lately - mostly the Bovin model:

I haven't heard much from the Snomoto guys since Ridaho '02 (now
"2moto"), but apparently they're still at it:

The 2moto guys system seems more complex (includes suspension) than
the Bovin Explorer, but also appears to be a slicker and more robust
solution.  The 2moto rig is also significantly more expensive than the
Explorer, not that either of them could be considered affordable
(2moto costs what I paid for my whole new CRF250X, and that's on sale
- the Explorer runs what I paid for my new CR125R  =8^O ).  I still
want one.  Anybody try either one yet?  Any relevant info?

No I haven't tried one but I remember quite a while ago seeing someone at
Manchester Honda riding a similar thing in front of the business where more
parking area is now which was based on a Kawasaki triple.  we must be
talking at least 25 or more years ago.  They never caught on.  I saw on the
way to an enduro one time lately a quad with four caterpillar tracks where
the wheels usually go on display in front of a quad dealer.  Oh I can assure
you the guy riding the triple based snowmobile cross was having fun.

I did see an Explorer rig for sale on Craigs list S.NH this week.
