Glad you're ok Steve; you gotta look into getting your tires studded if you're going to do that on a regular basis. Can you imagine a set of ice tires on a 900 Custom?

I'd talk to the manufacturer of the kit before trying it.

Ooo yea didn't think of that. Thanks for the tip. I'll see what they have to say before I buy anything.

Watching "Street Bikes" last week they had ice racing and ice stunting going on... looked like they couldn't MAKE those bikes go down. Still too cold to be fun though
