My 96 Sporty did just fine with her fulltime 2WD and a slightly worn pusher tire....had the knobby spare along but didn't need it. The snow really wasn't deep, two inches tops.....still, a lot of fun. The donuts proved harder once the snow reached the 4 inch deep level but still doable.

No pics of me doing the donuts, must take the video cam with me next time.

Here's the full ride report and all the pictures: LINK

With my sporty in the snow I discovered that body English went a long way, There is always more weight on the bike wheel, so the hack'll have a tendency to spin. When hotdogging moving your butt over just a little over the car helps this. You'll get an easy feel for this with a little practice. My old bike could do a foot of snow across a bean field no trouble at all. Watch the high center on the hack, though. You'll need a pull to get out of that. the hack wheel will just spin and spin. I carried a shovel and cross country skis when I did my funnin'. I also had a spike with a d-ring on it. I'd hammer it at a 45 angle away from the rig ans use a come-along to get it out of a fix. (worked great on a friend's MR2 as well)
Have a great time, and don't go faster than your breaks. You already know that, but still...

cheers,

Looks like another succesful ride. We are finally getting snow up here so the daily commute is starting to get fun at last.
