Being Stuck Sucks

It has finally started snowing this year & we got a large amount of snow in a short period of time. This means the snow is deep & soft because it hasn’t had a chance to set up, so when you venture off trail you stand the chance of getting stuck. We all know getting stuck is no fun so I have put together some items to help when you do get stuck.

The first item is a snow shovel-this is used to dig out around the sled to help get it moving again.

The next item is the Snowbunje Rattler pulling device. It has a handle & when hooked to the front spindle & stretched out, it provides tremendous pulling force to get a sled out.

Another item is the Snowbunje Cobra pulling device. It has a hook on both ends & is used with a tow strap & hooked to another sled to help you pull out of the snow.

These are great items to help get your Ski-Doo or any other snowmobile out when stuck, because being stuck sucks.

Check Your Tires!

 Attention all Motorcycle Riders! It is very important to check your tire condition & pressure before every ride. The most common breakdown for motorcycles is tire failure. When the only thing between you & the pavement is your tires, it’s best to understand & maintain them properly.

The best thing you can do is to keep your tires properly inflated. A tire that is under inflated generates a lot of heat which can lead to excessive wear, a blow out & can alter the handling of your motorcycle. As far as the condition goes, make sure your tire tread depth is at 3mm or more, if it’s less thatn 3mm-it’s time to replace them.

We know that you’re busy & that your time is valuable, therefore Birds of Prey Motorsports offers FREE PICK UP & DELIVERY!

Snowmobile Gloves Types & Styles

Snow gloves come in 3 different types & 2 different styles.
The 2 different styles are short cuff & full gauntlet.
 

The 3 types are:
 

1. Uninsulated Lightweight-these gloves are used for the drier warmer days & make great gloves for loading & unloading or spares for your backpack.
 

2. Midweight-these gloves offer good protection with thicker insulation on the back of the glove & thinner insulation on the palms for better feel. They also have leather palms for increased grip.
 

3. Heavyweight-these gloves offer great warmth & protection. They have heavy duty insulation on the back of the glove but still have thin palms for a better feel. They are gauntlet style for less snow intrusion thru the cuff area.

SNOWMOBILE HELMETS

LETS TALK SNOWMOBILE HELMETS. THERE ARE TWO STYLES OF SNOWMOBILE HELMETS TO CHOOSE FROM, THE FULL FACE MODULAR STYLE AND THE MORE OPEN MX STYLE HELMETS WITH GOGGLES.

THE FULL FACE HELMET OFFERS COMFORT AND GREAT WIND PROTECTION FOR WARMTH. THE FLIP FRONT IS GREAT WITH EASE IN GETTING THE HELMET ON AND OFF AND OFFERS EASY ACCESS FOR THOSE WHO WEAR GLASSES.IT ALSO HAS AN INNER TINTED VISOR FOR ADDITIONAL SUN GLARE PROTECTION. ELECTRIC HEATED SHIELDS ARE ALSO AN OPTION TO HELP ELIMINATE FOGGING.

THE MX STYLE HELMET IS BETTER ADAPTED TO THE OFF TRAIL BOONDOCKER RIDING STYLE. THIS HELMET OFFERS MORE VISIBILITY FOR OFF TRAIL RIDING AND IS LESS LIKELY TO FOG UP AS EASILY.IF THE GOGGLES FOG UP THEY ARE EASY TO REMOVE AND WIPE THE FOG OUT OR CHANGE TO ANOTHER PAIR  OF GOGGLES.

AT BIRDS OF PREY MOTORSPORTS WE HAVE HELMETS STARTING AT $29.95 AND CAN HELP GET YOU SET UP WITH EITHER HELMET TO FIT YOUR RIDING STYLE.

WHY SHOULD I WEAR CHEST PROTECTION?

One of the familiar hazards of dirt bike or ATV riding is the kickback of roost from the ride in front of you. And of course, some of that roost includes rocks. This is when a roost deflector becomes your very good friend. When you wear a chest protector, you don't need to be one of the riders who walks away with a bruised up chest, or worse. Also, you never know when you're going to launch off your dirt bike, street bike, or ATV and a chest protector can help absorb that impact to your chest if it does happen. Some chest protectors provide broader protection to cover your back and shoulders from impact as well.

WHERE IS THE SNOW?!

                

                Where is the snow? A very common question these days. Be patient, it will get here. But when it does, I have when very important thing for you to think about.
