At the beginning of the cold spell, I did ride a short distance on fresh snow and it was OK—although I was being careful. The problem is not knowing what's underneath: if snow has been packed down, or had any chance to melt and re-freeze as ice, it's too much of a gamble.Originally Posted by Scotty
A dirt bike is a good plan for many reasons—particularly if you can get off-road without having too much on-road riding first—but do you agree with Jon W that it still can't cope with ice on tarmac? Do you think snow claws or tyre chains would cope any better?
