Twoskis = Couch/quad!
Both, was an avid snowmobiler draged into it by my fellow dirtbike friends.
Also have over 100K on my BMW GS1150's.
What the motorcyclist does not realize is even with snowmobiling, winter motorsports will hook you maybe even more than our Twowheelers.
But untill they get draged screaming their worst fears they will never know.
Ask around, most diehard mc guys make the comparison to a quad even before they swing a leg, the Hawk was everything they would have desired yet as you suggest the winter negative and nobody getting behind it with passion never got it noticed by it's true market.
I loved snowmobiling, still smile when I steal a guys who won't ride my Hawk when offered "warning Twoskiers" and treat it like the rag doll straight line performance, hill climbers they are!
If the Snow Hawk did not exhist, you probably would have never seen me on any forum trying to get it out there, I would have gone a different route which I think is also needed, getting motorcyclists to try snowmobiling.
No need to tell the other Twoskiers what they allready know, but antagonizing them till they give another look at what they were ignoring was needed, and were this forum is today is proof no mater what any of you who disaprove of my tactics say.
No mater what they think, if a talented Twoskier were to learn to ride a Snow Hawk like machine priced reasonably and built to their riding preference, the machine would eventually become their favorite and their Dinosaur would be left behind.
Putt that in your pipe and smoke it!
