I'd be out there on my hack if the snow was as clean as you have. Here, it would be filthy, and the salt would turn the bike a dirty gray. Shortly after, you'd have 3 tires and a pile of rust... well, maybe not that bad.

I've played in snow with a 3 wheeler, but it wasn't a Harley. Doubt a Harley trike would have floated over the snow like this did. Be fun to try.

Not nearly as brave as it seems. The TG is extremely stable. We have little traffic compared to most areas. The heated gear keeps me warm. There was no salt on the roads.

It was because I could, because I might not be able to again, and...

quite frankly, I felt much safer traveling the roads on the TG than I would have if I had used the wife's 2wd F150.

My 33 year old daughter says it's because I never got passed age 14. Might be true.

It's fun to spin brodies on a trike. I hate the fact that they put salt on the roads now. It has to be clear of snow and ice now before I will put the trike on the road.

Ok that looked like fun, in the past I was seriously considering a Ural with the sidecar and two wheel drive for Snow.

I'm jealous. We have had snow on the ground for about three weeks. Forecast is for 3 to 5 more inches this weekend. There is so much salt on the roads wouldn't dare taking the Trike on it.

Yep, they're fun. Bummer about the salt!

That sounds like it would be a lot of fun!

The novelty of it here is nice, but week after week of it, I'm sure the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

Kevin, that looks like fun. I think you were pushing your luck on your speed. If a deer ran out, you would have been screwed.
