He most likely has a street tire version of the tires like a posted in the photo gallery.

Very cool. And the weather looked good too.

hardlydangerous, is that you in the vid?

[char393]

That was cool! (no pun intended )

[hardlydangerous]

No. it's not me. I have a friend that races/rides his R6 and buell on out on Lake Eire and along the Welland Canal.
That got me thinkin', man I wish I had a video camera to get a shot or two of him hitting 130mph on ice. He mentioned he got the idea from watching a vid on the net so I did a search and came up with a few.

Man that tire looks brutal, are those carbide cleats for snowmobile tracks?

[hardlydangerous]

Yes. Most guys do use snowmobile studs.

My freind uses slightly shorter stainless steel bolts and washers then grinds the ends to razor sharp points. It's more work but only 1/2 the cost and in strickly ice use the stainless will last just as long.
