It's above freezing right now ..... but there is about 5 inches of white stuff ...... it's beginning to look alot like winter . I'm almost tempted to strap my walking cast on , and go do donuts in the driveway/street . :blah:

[Chino]

our " first real snow" was on thanksgiving there was about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. I can't wait for the big stuff to hit!

[LazeR]

Your so lucky! i want snow so bad, i can only wish for it like that :p! Make sure you take a pic of how funny you look doing donuts with the walking cast on ;)

[Quad18star]

We had our first snowfall I think back in late september .... and it's snowed off and on since then , but always melts . I have a feeling this stuff is here to stay . The temps were down to -20 Celcius lastnight .... but now they are back up around the freezing mark .... dropping down to the mid -20 celcius again tonight .

[TRX250X]

Go for it. We got an inch or two on Wed, but it melted way too fast.

[JDiablo]

Thats pretty warm :rolleyes: -4 F, yea i dont think i'd care for that much, but it would be well worth it if we could get a lot of snow here!

A picture of my dad finishing up the lazy man's way of shoveling snow ...... drive back and forth in the driveway with the truck .

Lazy man's way , is drive back and forth down the driveway so that the snow packs itself down . There's actually a reason behind doing it though . LOL . Reason being ... once we start to get more snow , the snowblower comes out of its summer retirement ..... and since our driveway is all crushed stone ... the snowblower has a base to ride on and not pick up all the rocks and throw then all over the lawn and side of the house . :blah:

I got a couple interesting pictures for you guys in a minute or two .... I really an a Honda rider .... which I totally forgot about .

[Quad18star]

Ok all you Honda fans .... name this quad . What year and model is it??

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid148/p7e2909cbcb9649acc694b34a53928f6d/f61db3ef.jpg

He actually did a donut in the back yard ... crazy old man .

[LazeR]

Haha, i would do it the lazy mans ways too! Snow blower would be to much work! Did you learn the hardway to pack the snow before you run the snowblower ?

Give me a sec and i will name that quad! i gotta run outside, im at my bosses and he has one....i think its a mid 80s brb

[LazeR]

Is it a fourtrax 200sx ? it kind of looks the one my boss has in his garage

I want to say its around an 87, cause thats what my bosses is (i think)

[JDiablo]

thats either the 125 or 200:devil:

[Quad18star]

I still shovel snow when there's maybe 5 or 6 inches of snowfall ... but when we get dumped on with a foot and a half .... the snowblower comes out . The snow is really heavy today cuz of the mild weather .... chit weighs a ton .

You're close ..... it's an 86 TRX 250 . It was actually my first quad i ever drove . I put that bike through hell and back , and it still run's perfect . I'm surprised the frame isn't all bent and broken ..... I aired this thing out HARD a few times ..... 8 feet up in the air on about 3 inches of shock travel .... HARD landings . :devil:

its a honda what to you except?:devil:

[LazeR]

I bet that felt good when you landed! Is it the 250x motor ? Cause that would be different having a utility type quad with a 2 stroke engine lol! Has it even been rebuilt ? My friend had a 250x sport quad, and it had never been rebuilt, it sat in some guys garage for awhile, and he had it given to him, took it to a shop, they got it running, that thing ran pretty good for a 250, then it got stolen :(

[MXcutie]

the 250x isnt a 2-stroke its a 4 sorry

since when did you move across the country??

[LazeR]

I didnt word it right, im aware its a 4 stroke, my friend had one ;) I meant to say it would be weird if it had a 2 stroke motor, and didnt have the 250x!

[Quad18star]

its the 4 stroke . LOL .... Just the utility model . It's our hunting / trail riding/exploring bike . And nope , it has never been rebuilt :eek2: but I'm sure it could use a major tune up and probably new rings . LOL . It doesn't have the power it used to have . Still does the trick for the old man though ..... he's happy with it . He just doesn't know that I aired it out so many times when I was a kid . And the result of me airing it out that much ..... I don't know if I'll ever be able to have kids ..... nuts smacking the tank SUCKS !!!!:mad:

[LazeR]

Well, if you dont want kids that could be a good thing ? LOL Those 250x's are like tanks! My friend put that thing through hell, never checked the oil, and it always ran like a champ!

My friend put that thing through hell, never checked the oil, and it always ran like a champ! :p Ya we might add a bit of oil here and there , but I can't remember the last time the oil filter was changed . It's a true "beater bike" . The rear fenders are zip-tied cuz a stick decided to get lodged and crack the whole fender . The foot peg is bent up and backwards a little bit from when I nailed a HUGE rock ... it actually stopped the bike right then and there ..... I went over the bars . The exhaust is something my old man rigged up out of a 5$ exhaust can thats suppsoed to be used on sleds ( bit of welding and bending and it actually fit perfect) . Wheel bearings are SHOT !!!!!:blah:

Once the nearby lake freezes , we set up a track out there . Includes lotta tight twisting turns and we throw in a few table tops . Maybe this year one of 2 doubles for added excitement . :blah:

Sounds like it was a lot of fun though! The exhaust sounds pretty high tech, lmao, i can only wonder why it fits perfect after a little bending and welding! :eek2: Thats one thing nice about a honda though, put it through hell and it still keeps ticking!

[86350x]

You are so lucky, when I got out of work last night it was raining:( :ermm:

[Metzroth]

Here in illinois we got like 4 " but it melted to 2" but it was wet, and i went riding in it yesterday, only to discover crappy tires dont cut it in snow.

[chucked]

it cant start snowing yet, my motor isnt done....

Maybe it was me !?!?!:D You know how they say everyone has a twin in the world?? Well I think I got about 50 of them . My older cousin and I look exactly alike . And a guy down the street from me looks like me too ..... not a good thing though cuz he's a drug dealer . :grr:

You added 1 too many "0" ..... :p People ask for pics ... I post them .

quad18star, doesnt that honda 250 have a kickstart too?

[Quad18star]

It sure does . :devil: It's a good thing , cuz the bike sits in the back shed all winter and the battery stays in it . Some usually when I go to start it , the battery is dead . Add a little bit of "Quick Start" and she fires up in 1 or 2 kicks . I wish my 450 had a kicker ..... but not the stupid rear wards kick design that you can buy for the YFZ .... I like the forward kick.

[Metzroth]

this is off topic but i just now thought of the question and this is the closest forum. :D when doing a wheelie above 3rd gear do u use clutch to rev and then drop clutch to bring it up?

actually there is a forum for it, and it would have been best to make a new thread.... You can do a wheelie however you want. I could just gas it and bring up the front in 3rd+

[I-7]

Your lucky, I just picked up my new snowboard and everything yesterday and I cant wait to get out on the mountains!! :macho :macho

[bman9]

we got our first snowfal the week before deer season started which was on nov 15
