At Your Leisure (TV show) had a segment on snowbikes. Basically you can convert a dirt bike into a snow bike with a ski up front and a track on the back. The Radix conversion kit is made by 2Moto in Idaho. Obsession Moto Worx in Pleasant Grove is one shop that sells the kit and will do the full conversion.
Watch these videos of the snowbike in action
From the videos I was surprised at how well the bikes cornered in the snow and how well they climbed. |

| I have really considered putting one on my WR450f, but for 4,000 dollars, why not buy a NICE used sled? Blows my mind that people actually pay 4 grand for them. :crazycobasa: |

| Obsession motoworks out of PG has demo days where they take them out and let you flog them. Give them a ring and ask them when and where there next demo day is. |

| Those look pretty sweet, and would be fun to keep it on two wheels during the winter. I watched the special on KSL when they showed it, cool design. |
