A good friend of mine was nice enough to invite myself and a few friends to upstate NY(Tug Hill area) to ride in late winter. We got to ride dirt bikes in 8 to 10 feet of snow… no thats not a typo… dirt bikes lol, just modified a little 🙂 . ![http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/Image12.jpg](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/Image12.jpg) ![http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/ktm.jpg](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/ktm.jpg) ![http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/ap2.jpg](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/ap2.jpg) The ride is F’n awesome! Everything is fully adjustable. The handling is insane, we were pulling away from most every sled through the trails. You can rail on them alot harder then you can in the dirt. Powder is where they would really shine, jumping huge drifts was a blast, airing it out they feel like a normal bike just with a softer landing. Its hard to believe until you ride one! ![http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/aprilia.jpg](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/aprilia.jpg) ![http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/rm.jpg](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/FiddyNutz239/rm.jpg) ---

Right, Jay? haha, I leaned on a few like I was getting my senior picture taken. I took my share of hard parkers no doubt lol, I busted the turn signals off of the Aprilia :doh: . I’ll have to dig around for some action shots, I think someone has some. > [@Noob Math/Calculator question](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/noob-math-calculator-question/40233/48): > > wanna let me try out the 09 RMZ450 conversion in the last pic? lol haha sure. The RM was a blast, if you look closely you can see the 2 nitrous tanks bolted on to the fork tubes. 😉 ---
