Cold isn't the problem. It is all the snow. rear wheel drive quads just don't move well in this much snow! Mother nature is messing with me this year! Was going to ride it today but got busy doing other things...Now it is dark and snowing out again. They are calling for 6 to 12 inches so that will put me out of commission again! I have a few parts to put on so I can stay busy but this winter has just been crazy. Would have been nice to ride it though...my utility quad was riding on top of the 6 inches of snow/ice that we have. Maybe it won't snow but thats not my luck..........
