That wind is a killer buddy! I cant handle it in the open like that, wooded trails to stop the wind helps, also ice fishing gear is a great idea! Where are the frozen beer picso_O

ha cabs, buncha wusses,lol
been riding quads forever not that bad if you stop and are dressed for it. snowmobile helmet, artic carharts, snowmobile groves and boots. toughest part is cleaning the machine when it looks like that, dont have heat is insulation in the garage all i have is a kerosene torpedo, normally park it were the truck sits with the heat blowing on it pick the chunks out the brakes and suspention

i spent yesterday out there with no heat doors open and we got 3 or 4 inches too, shoveling the walk and the power steering on the me and the wifes car stopped working. had the normal valvoline stuff in one and prestone in the other. i got synthetic prestone hoping for a little better but the difference in the the cold is kinda unbelievable

0* is cold. No cab or windshield here. Last night’s ride was 18*. The only thing that holds me up is when the ice builds on the brakes and inside the rims. I’ll use an electric heater or torch to thaw for the next ride. Glad to see you out there freeze testing your setup!

if you use stuff like wd40 they attract water and mud and freeze. white lithium or silicone based penatrants dont, i normally get some white lithium spray, good for cars seals, cables, key holes, throttle cables or hinges
