That sure looks like fun.
Looks like better traction than the sand  :-D
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Oh its a lot of fun. I recommend everybody should try and ride on the ice because it is an experience. Studded tires on ice hooks up good as riding on pavment.  :lol:

"Properly tuned" studded tires on ice is like riding on pavement.  It is a blast. Haven't done it on my k5 yet but have been on many different ice bikes. Anything from little 80cc to 800cc bikes.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.
