    what do you guys do to get your trike ready for snow ?

    I start by giving my trike a bath to remove all the dirt, then I will check all the fluids, install new spark plug, tighten any loose bolts, grease axle bearings and put my studded front tire on.

    check swinger berrings, chain, change oil, check tire pressure, check brakes over, wash machine good, new plug and a spare and tools in the coat pocket,

    lube throttle cable, stud the tires ( or install spare studded set)

    Three wheeler guys probably have the biggest balls out of all the ATV/Motorcycle riders. You just have to be a little twisted to ride them, and you have to be a great rider to do so.

    First i put a jacket on her to make sure she`s warm....Then i talk to her a little bit and say>>>> (baby,its getting cold outside so when we go hit the woods i will have to sit very,very close to you to keep you warm..) Then i give her a sexy sponge bath to keep her clean....(make sure you get all the nooks and cranies)...no need to dry her off cuz by now she`s so hot and wet she`s like a sauna and loving it....the final step is to screw my stud`s in her....now she`s ready...

    I spend at least a little time every day in the shop, so I spend alot of time with my babies. When we are lucky enough to catch a bit of snow I will go outside turn on the heater in the shop and let the girls get warm. Then its on.... I got no studs no fancy high class paddles just an old set of trail pros and my tank of a 200m in Washington we dont get enough snow to need studs. I actually havnt had either of these trikes ling enough to play in the snow yet. I do remember my 85 200s though, and man did that thing rip it up in the snow even with the stock tires on it.

    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.

    Install the Zipper tires and remove the swing arm skid plate. This winter I'll try to zip tie a crazy carpet under the engine and swing arm. I'll also flush the 15W-40 oil for something else... Can't wait for the snow to come...

    Stick the Maxxis 4-snows on it and fatten the jetting a little.
