GtP, looks like great fun, except for the snow.... not a fan . last year before Christmas we had a snow storm here in Buda Tx. lots of fun in the 4x4 , the heater was working fine. we Texans like to see snow , its pretty , as long as its not here for more than a few days.... I like warm days best . was 45 today , stayed inside all day as it was to cold for me. the wife looks at me a bit crazy , she knows I will ride in colder weather than this but complain its to cold to do anything else.
when life gives you lemons...

Probably would have worked fine if he kept both feet on the footpegs.
That was Evil Greg, my riding buddy. His legs were on the pegs, till he needed to bail. The log is large, with limted run up. He has an issue of chopping the throttle too early, rather than pulling the clutch in. All in a days ride for us.
Winter riding elevates, or very least forces you to pick up your game. Limited grip, and visiblity of what you're riding over doesn't help

yes sir! public land. They are actively shutting certein portions down for OHVs. The polar bear and bleeding hearts have it out for us.
it doesn't help that a few idiots ruin it for the 99% of responsible OHV users.
We will enjoy it while we can. Half day at work today, then an afteroon ride with my buddies!

I have been volunteering for an OHV advocacy group since 2000, and now sit as the President of the Board of Directors. I'm not giving up without a fight!

Good on you! I'm not involved in any clubs or official meetings, but am one of the few that went out and bought a chain saw, mount to clean trails as needed as no one else does it. We are respectful of what we have as well. Often times, people are just flat out assholes. They litter, cut down live trees for fire wood etc. Last year there was a grad party in the woods. The ass hats started a huge fire that threatened the near by village, and sucked up tons of resources. As usual, people commented that it was 'likely OHV users'
There are some serious ass hats out here as well. Mainly guys with huge monster mudders that dig holes, and the weekend warriors that come out, and ride their quads, mx bikes once a year plastered.

We happen to be caught in the middle, and usually made to look like the bad guys.
