I think it would be more like 90%.

I have ridden my bikes with my Klim GTX boots on and snowmobile gloves and even bibs. I can be done but my point is that most are not capable how...

Yep, the gamble is that they could leverage anger from snowmobilers and direct it towards the town, hoping that would influence decision-making. It...

Shift? You have to shift? Can you imagine shifting a motorcycle wearing snowmobile quality gloves and boots? Not to mention throttle twisting vs...

Guess we better get to the dealers then and get those Summits, RMKs, Assualts, and every other one of those mountain sleds out there out of NY too....

I really don't think there is anything to worry about with snow bikes... 50% of the snowmobiling crowd wouldn't know how to shift or how to maintain...

Presumed you read the entire thread, is what I did. It's quite evident that is what they are built for, and what motocross riders what to use the...

I never said anything about them riding off the trail. Must be it's assumed if you own one that's your only intention of having it???

Sell it as a limited trail pass only machines with tracks allowed. Far less ground pressure and damage with tracks than wheels. Most people that have...

There's an international study on tracked ATVs and their effect on snowmobile trails that proves that point. I tossed around the hybrid registration...

Our neighbors at camp had a Ranger with tracks and they would ride the seasonals where they were legal and went by camp all the time and visually did...

Some states have "hybrid snowmobile registrations", allowing ATVs with tracks and/or tracks & skis to be legal and ride the snowmobile trails. It's...

You opening your family land to their off trail riding? It's kinda like saying "we have idiots who can't read the signs and trespass on land where...

ten/twelve years ago, I was riding from Old Forge over to Boonville, saw Lost Trails had a Hot Dog/Beer fundraiser table set up, stopped in for a...

You are better off allowing ATVs with tracks or a combination of tracks/skis.

We don't want 75mph throttle jockeys either but we do. What's the difference between a that a what seems to be an unstable bike that has been morphed...

That's the same the guys in Idaho said... Kind of hard to keep straight on a really hard groomed trail and if you're not experienced, crossing bare...

A friend of mine has a snow bike conversion kit on his KTM 525. It handled okay on groomed trails but it's slow 48 was a top speed. You may be able...

From the videos I've watched on YouTube I don't think they would be much fun on the trails either, but they do great in 4 foot of powder.

True. The snow bike riders I spoke to out in Idaho 2 years ago admitted they do not handle that good on groomed trails, but much more fun than...

But that cost is for a year around machine. Depending on where you ride in New York a snowmobile is good for maybe 3 months on a good year. Most...

Considering the motocross bike AND the conversion kit costs, they are at or well over $10,000.00 to purchase new.

The concern is that they will be riding "off-trail" and thereby causing more landowner problems and more trail closures. I can see that. On the...

I was talking with a forester who told me that the owner of woodwise is a family from Eastern Europe. If that's the case they probably don't care who...

any word on them?? been on Route 8 a lot in the past week and still no sign.

I somewhat agree, but cooperation from all the town departments and residents sure would making hauling hundreds of overweight and oversized loads...

So what's your point? Woodwise won't have to deal with any of the bull**** snowmobilers bring with them so I'd still call that a win as they don't...

If the club does find a re-route, the apparent gamble by Woodwise would end in a complete failure.
