Snow n' Ice

 Man - talk about a bunch of whining about getting a few flakes of snow
on the ground.  Sheesh. Riding in the winter is WAY better than in the
summer, if you ask me.  All the good parts of dirtbiking are there,
but all of the crappy parts of the sport simply don't exist in the
winter after a good dose of snow and ice.  There's no dust, no
mudholes, no rockbeds, no bugs, you don't get too hot, and best of
all, you don't even have to wash your bike when you get home - just
park it and let it melt.  Get thrown off of your bike into the woods,
and you land in a couple of feet of poof instead of landing on a pile
of rocks or logs.  Once the trail freezes, with a handful of zip
screws in your tires, the bike sticks so well it's like turning on
ashpalt - and lean back and keep it WFO in the deeper stuff and steer
with the rear end (deep sand technique).

Pshaw to the $100 sets of ice screws - a $15 tub of 1/2" sheet-metal
zip screws easily does 2-3 bikes and works just as well.

With the money saved, perhaps consider the purchase of an outlet
cover.

Sounds like fun, BTW.

 
Pshaw.  I've never found the need for one, and have still never gotten
zapped after 10 years.  My son, OTOH, gets zapped on that outlet
religiously.  Far to hilarious to change, IMHO.

 That looks like an XR something. With all that weight and now traction
you might consider putting a snow plow on the front end.

Might.  Although that's kinda already covered:
