What a hoot!  I think I would have fitted a chain onto that rear tire, though...  If I were more skilled in fabricating things, I would love to try this with a smaller bike, like that old '71 Honda 175cc Scrambler I had, back in High School.  It would be a blast to fool around with.  Thanks for sharing!  Cheers!

When I was a kid, my Dad made me a ski, for the front of my Honda Z-50. Then he got some chain, and made a tire chain, for the rear. It was a blast unless the snow was really deep. I really miss that bike.

Uh oh...

I just realized that.  My apologies, Piute: the comment wasn't about being an Indian...it was about a motorcycle with outrigger skis on it.  That looks like something you'd do to a bike.

Not that there's anything wrong with being Indian/Native American.
