Riding on water

[resurection]

Lets talk ice riding (I say riding because racing is to expensive,just ask my wife).
Any way I'm building a XL650L .Cam,smooth bore,pipe and some gear ratio.
Maybe 45hp and a diet for the bike and myself.

Do you ride on the water in the winter ?

[Scotty Ryan]

I plan on it this winter - Super Dave or Paul V are the guys you need to talk to....Tommy Mason is another avid Ice guy - but stay away from that Edgar Dorn character.... Wow - Daytona's over - now it needs to snow already!!!!!

Where to go and meet ?

I love it that someone referred to as Resurrection started this thread.  Walking on water has already been done, so why not riding on water?

Yeah, baby!

Shane and I are thinking that we might be riding on the ice in 60 days!

Yes my dear and on the third day he rode.
AT resurrection we take bikes from dead to turn you head.

That is pretty good!  It's a miracle!

There is usually a few places to ride west of Milwaukee, Wi.  Can't really be sure until we get ice and someone plows a coarse...:)

Stay tuned.

I was fortunit to find R model carb for L model XR650 'It fits right on.
I modified cables .
Removed air box ,moved battery there and mounted Supertrapp pipe.
I'm sure centralizing battery wt.and removing heavy stock muffler
along with HRC cam grind from HOT CAMS

Should provide good ice pick propulsion .

Would anyone be interested in trying out some race slicks with snowmobile studs in them? I'm thinking of making them for a race bike of mine. For real now no joke!

Have yous tried just screwing in studs to new knobby tires .
I'm wondering if it's adequate?

Hey Jason,

back in the day...we played with that a bit and just a couple of seasons back we tried the build your own with screws in knobbies...
Both worked ok for cruising around on the ice....until someone on a set of Freddettes or Stewies comes flying by like they are on rails..:)
My experience is that it can be done..but much faster and easier to just buy...
