Motorcycle plow

[rwhite]

Because I usually have to much time on my hands and come up with stupid ideas I thought I'd throw this out there. Anyone ever seen a motorcycle snow plow (either push or pull type). I have a trail 90 hi/lo gear and was curious if a plow of some sort could be mounted up. I know I could buy a snow blower for cheaper but what fun would that be.

No offense to you, but that sounds like it would be horrible. I guess I'm just not a two wheeler. I'm more comfortable riding a fourwheeler (quad to some of you) on two wheels than a motor bike of any sort.
I can't imagine getting enough traction for more than just a couple inches of snow.

No offense taken. I usually get the same response from my wife. But that ususally doesn't prevent me from tryng.

This idea is as bas as mine, mine was to use a pellet stove as a smoker.........................boy did I take a beaten on that one.

I'm a dreamer, I've had plenty of ideas running through my head too. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "too much" time.... I've never had that..

Wear a helmet and wrap yourself in bubble wrap!

I've ridden plenty of bikes in the snow, and even had a bike like yours. It's pretty darn hard to stay upright. Perhaps replacing the front wheel with a pair of skids a couple of feet apart would give you a tricycle effect.
Dang, now you've got me thinking...

You'll have to get a really good run at it and hit the snow hard! But... When your going over the bars take comfort in knowing that the snow will soften your fall! Lol. I bet your really from Colorado or Washington aren't you?

Well, if you don't kill yourself in the process... Let us know how the clutch holds up. I think that might be the weakest link mechanically.

Get some studded tires, get used to sliding your feet at low speeds, and I think it's possible.

With the low range and centrifugal clutch, it should be no problem. The bike was designed to go crawling through woods carrying a rider and a bunch of gear.

One of friends use to put a set of chains on is DR125 to ride in the winter time ( that was before motorcycle tire stud were widely availabe). He was passing cars going to work in snow storm....

I did skid logs and timber with my old bike, but never plowed with it.

Let us know how it turn out

Maybe if you fitted it to a three-wheeler with a reverse gear...otherwise it just seems like a waste of time & energy.
