Trailer park snow ride...

Oh yea buddy...got no choice...i ended up toasting my magneto from that run...I'm effin tired of having to change the damn magneto all the damn time...****ing crap...
 
You're an animal, Wicked.
After a near fall on a wet street I wouldn't leave my driveway in snow.

Went for a ride today with a friend. When we left it was 56 degrees and sunny. We got back to the house 2 hours later and it was about 40, cloudy and windy. An hour later it was snowing and now, four hours later we have three inches on the streets. My bikes will be in the garage until the streets are dry again.
Hat's off to you sir. But it does look like fun.

Seal up your magneto cover where the wires exit and put some silicone on the gasket surfaces. Your mag shouldn't get wet.

Tom, I did every thing you said, I think it was my headlight that got damp and toasted it...gotta switch over to my 6volt batteries
 
i was changing some tires for a friend,the tire changer is in the same building i park the bike,if it had gas i woulda gone for a ride,need knee and elbow pads to go with my helmet.i cant afford a hard fall and being off work.i remember pedaling in the snow,was always fun.
dirt bikes are hard to ride,we tried it a few times,works ok on fields in the deeper snow.

al least you got the nerve to go for a ride.

No fun in watching the mb just sitting there...unless its pouring rain outside I ride it every day even if only just around the block...id rather be riding than staring at it

I agree totally. I just installed my new fenders (didn't have them before), and took a sloppy ride this morning in the melting snow here on Long Island. I told Wicked the other day that I'd just lost a(nother) magneto two days back in the rain, a proper set of fenders woulda' saved me a lot of aggravation. Not a drop of splash-back on me or the engine now! (although I do have a spare magneto on its way from eBay)
 
Oh, didn't realize you were from CT too, Racie. I lost my last magneto on Wednesday night during that torrential rain-storm we had. I took a ride from Bridgeport to Derby that night, and was caught in it on my way back in Shelton. I decided to break the law in favor of a more direct route home, and hopped on Route 8. I got as far as the Bridgeport boarder when she finally gave up the ghost. ****ty peddlefest home in the wind and rain; I'll always carry my spare with me from now on.
 
yup Mystic area.....have you ever tried spraying your mag with wd40 or something like it so water doesnt cause probs? I didnt know bikles could go on rt 8?
