Motorcycle Snow Chains

Might be OK for a BMW GS, but I don't think they'd work on a bagger due to fender clearance. It'd be a bitch to pickup a dumped bagger in the snow anyway.

Can't find any in the motorcycle shops down here in Florida. Damn guess I'll just do without.

Interesting.....

Never saw a Harley with chains, but some of the guys that ride their bikes up through the Yukon and Northwest Territories (and haul roads to the Artic Circle) mount 'knobbies' on their Harleys.

Check out the guy below with the Softail Deuce. He rides that bike everywhere up north, in snow, mud, gravel, and all kinds of miserable conditions....

In the 60s we used cut down car chains and ice spike tires in MN to ride on the frozen lakes.

One of my friends still have dimples in his arms from getting ran down.
