    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Snowbike.....

Awesome! That looks like something I dreamed of as a kid. Now I'm just waiting for the flying cars!

I wonder if the snowbikes will be available at rental shops.
 
pretty spendy for the bunch on this forum well over $10000
$425 per day for rentals, (in Golden)
cheaper than Heli-Skiing or Cat-skiing for that matter

Yes, I have tried one, a buddy has a KTM with a Timbersled kit. I would not trade my snowmobile for one. They are just too cold for touring use but for a half hour in the woods they are a hoot. Trail riding they are dumb.

Lot cheaper than my sled, that's for sure. The Timbersled kit is right around $5k but if you already own a dirt bike then it makes sense.
 
Been doing a bunch or research, I don't have a suitable dirt bike at the moment. Needs to have a lot of power, light weight and electric start would be very useful. Big motocrossers would be great except they mostly don't have electric start. The KTM 450 I just sold would have been great.
Been looking for complete units all built as a snow bike already, probably less expensive and easier than buying a bike and the kit separately.

There's a Husaberg 570 with a Timbersled conversion in the local Craigslist....

Were you ever able to build or ride a snowbike?
