Now THIS is news I can use, because I am very seriously considering a Harley Trike for solely this reason.

I can vouch for the worth of investment in top-quality "snow" tires. While my experience is solely with cages, the current technology is amazing. Just take 'em off when you don't need 'em anymore, 'cause they'll wear out in no time on dry roads.

As someone who once rode a 700 Virago in inches of fresh and packed snow on a regular basis (I'm too old for that now, and ANY Harley is too big, heavy and high), and speaking to your skidding problems, I have one word - CHAINS.

Three of them. They're so easy to put on and remove on a motorcycle, and with the configuration of a Freewheeler, the most important set may well be the one on the front, not the back. When the back needs help, it's often best obtained in the form of old-fashioned, non-clumping kitty litter.

 

Crazy Ride I bet !




I have a jeep for winter fun


keeping trike under cover....
Also its single digit temps without windchill added in?


That is crazy.

Been many years since I ventured out in the snow on a m/c...good on you and, just like a 4-wheeler, taking it easy/slow makes it an entertaining venture. Ride on!
