oae Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 With having a club name like the Frozen Few and a bottom rocker that says Antarctica I always get the question 'do you ride down there?' Well its complicated, its yes, no, maybe sorta. We do have a Snow chopper that two over winter mechanics built from parts out of the trash bins. It rides like a brick, can't turn for a thinkers damn and will do about 35 mph in a straight line. To be honest its a very rare day when its brought out and someone actually rides it. With all the safety protocols we have to go thru it just isn't practical. Oh well we do have fun. In case you're wondering this is home away from home. McMurdo Station. Its the largest science station on the Ice with a summer population of 1,000. That number is 1/5 of the population for the entire continent during the summer. Winter the population drops to about 700, 150 of those to be found at Mac Town. I've probably bored you all long enough. Next I'll probably have to tell the tale of SPOT ( South Pole Operational Traverse) I just have to see if I can find some pictures for itCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yamaha techs and marketing guys are probably already designing something along these Snow Chopper lines to replace the Niken!

angrygirafe Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 As long as the chopper can outrun The Thing, you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
