snowblower-tire studs

ACutAbove · 01-12-2009, 07:21 PM

When I was alot younger I used to ride my old dirtbike out on a small lake in my hometown. We used to sted the tires with screws front and back. The front tire we would pull the tube out and stuff it with rags so it would sit flatter on the ice for better traction. If I had a bike I would try it out on the lake, but I dont have on so I can only dream about it...lol

...hey, you know the Meredith PD has a Harley...so instead of using a snowmobile to patrol the islands..couldn't they just refit the tires with some stuffed newspapers and hex head sm screws...and be good to go...across the snow covered ice... and chase down the island burglars who need to pay for their drug habits or something?

How about those tire spikes on the race car on the other thread........those look like they could work getting up onto Mt Washingtion.

Years ago when I had a dirt bike in Moultonborough I brought it out on the lake. I fell almost instantly and it hurt.

That was my first and last try didn't have studs but did ride it in the winter alot, just not on shear ice.
