What you need is a Harley Snow Machine :-)

And since you have some time on your hands, start with a Sporty and a dead snow machine, let's see what you can produce.

 

Something like this?

 

Actually, I was thinking more of a Sportster front half with a snowmobile rear track, but this is also good.
Anything that gets the OP on a bike during this cold weather so he does not get cabin fever.

It was raining here in N TX this morning. The weather forecast calls for 60* today. I will believe it when I see it. I have developed an aversion to risking my health with flu season still going strong. Especially in my 70's. I was in the ER this past week because of my blood pressure spiking. I sure as hell don't feel like going again.

 

Living in Minnesota can be a challenge at times when one considers the Midwestern winters. As I can not ride yet because of the snow, cold and all of the Abominable Snowmen running around and crossing the roads like Zombies and they do not even look to the left or right at all either before crossing!
So my wife and I then had planned to do some Winter camping one weekend, but that fell by the wayside too when the evening temperature got so cold that our campfire froze!! I looked over at my wife, but I know that I won't hear what she was saying until Springtime when the sound waves from her voice will thaw out.
So then we decided to try to make some supper, but all we had was frozen pizza! It was very chewy and so tough and we couldn't use our metal cutlery because it stuck to our tongues just like a tongue on a flag pole in the movie "A Christmas Story."
Then I remembered that we had brought some soup along, but it was so cold that I chipped a tooth on it. That made my dentist very happy because all my fillings also fell out due to my constant shivering, so he got even more business out of me. And when we decided to finally leave, we needed the help of the Husky Dog Association to get the dog team started, because when we parked the sled, we had forgotten to plug the dogs in!
Strangely enough, we had a hard time moving forward until we figured out that we had to kick holes in the frozen air to just get through.
All that work made me pretty thirsty, so I decided to have a big swig of milk, but I then realized that I needed the chainsaw to cut the frozen milk up into little pieces so I could chew it.
Anyway, that is winter in Minnesota.
So stay warm or stay home until Spring time! Hopefully it will get here before July!!

 

That is one sad tail.

Anyone have any pontoons they can loan me so I can go riding?

 

life is tough all over.

 

Holy crap, Jim. I had no idea it was so bad in MN!!

 

Just got back to NW Ohio the other day; kinda ucky, high 30s and maybe the low 50s now; but we trailered the trike to Gulf Shores AL starting January 4th for four weeks of unusually cool weather there, only got in 5 or 6 trips in for 3-400 miles. We were going to head towards NOLA, but saw that the forecast looked the same for the next month on the Gulf, so instead we went over to Daytona for some riding and the Speed Weeks races! Rode almost every day, low 70s to 82 one day, about 6 or 700 miles worth. Man it was tough coming back!!! But we avoided most of the snow and zero crap. We might do one of the Keys next year for a couple of months.
