Pretty cool, but IMO, studs are all you need. If you recall, Tumu, Devon, Millerized and I were all well-experienced in winter riding. maybe Jud too. Mark

Very nice! Are those outriggers, or just skis on their feet? It looks more like outriggers. "Might" unload the wheels a bit. Looks like fun though. Did you hear the camera guy's bike rev up on that turn? He was having fun with it, for sure. Studded tires, probably. I have ridden on snow and ice. Snow is OK, but scary. Deep snow is hilarious. No need for a kick stand. Ice is more scary than Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D in a straight jacket. Robert Wichert P.Eng.

Interesting article about the development of these Husqvarna bikes with auto transmissions, side skis, and studded tires. Parts of the Brit writer's story are a hoot--like when he froze his bare finger to the side of a van in the frigid Swedish winter . . . http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/290/1445/Motorcycle-Article/MMC-Husqvarna-Army-Automatic.aspx Digger

I put it on the calender for day 91 of 2013. We should make it a group ride. We could all gather in MOAB, and follow some national celebrity (as seen in USA TODAY) guy in a vette up white rim trail. revmaaatin.

http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/586/15144/Motorcycle-Article/Best-Dual-Sport-2012--Kawasaki-KLR650.aspx Take a moment and touch the numbered boxes at the bottom. It has a short blurb on other bikes as well. revmaaatin.

My KLR has been over Guanella Pass in February, no skis necessary. In fact, that looks like a good way to break a leg.
