Playing in the snow

We got a little snow here in New York! There is probably 10 inches on the ground. It was fun but difficult to maneuver the bike. I had a lot of fun though! Here are some pics.

The bike is not being held up with the kickstand in this picture. The snow is high enough to keep it up.

Great pics.  I would absolutley love to try my ttr in the snow.  Nice soft landings after a fall. I live near the tropics so no snow here In my part of australia. We have 90 days ahead of us with muggy hot days. Maybe even a cyclone ( hurricane) or two.

Looks like fun!

Be good to go play on the TTR in fresh snow.

I had a heavy fall on an icy patch many years ago but fresh snow is a softer landing biggrin

Surprisingly, I never fell down. However, I tried stopping on the slick roads and my back end locked up, making the back end slide out. I let go of the brakes and it over-corrected itself, and then the front wheel got into a foot of a plowed snowbank making it wobble. Somehow it straightened out and I didn't fall down confuse
