87sheerips Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 OK, we have about 4" of solid ice right now on our lake. I am SO tempted to go riding, but personally I like to see at least 6". What have u guts ridden on/consider safe for riding? I figure its roughly 600lbs, with me on the bike at 200lbs. 3of us were standing in a circle tonight fishing with no problems (about 600lbs) which makes me want to ride even more! What do yall think?

Dmcbanshee Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 4" is safe for a quad. I think its 3" or 4" for a quad or snowmobile and 12" for a car and 18" for a trucks... Try it and you will see lol Have fun on the lake bro :beer: Quote
Tapatalk Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 funny you asked, seen this on the weather channel the other day. 5 inches for atv. me personally, i wouldnt try anything less then 20 lol Quote
tonyown Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 I'd like to worry about that went on the lake today for fishing and there's like 4 feet of ice LoL Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 i think youll be good with 4". that weight will be spread out over a bigger area. i think the last time i went the ice was 4 to 6". Quote

Boo_69 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 I would have to agree with dave, jd. I would wait for at least 6" of ice to be safe. Quote
2001Stroker Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Screw it. Put on a a drysuit and a life jacket. Tie a long rope to the grabbar, and the other end to a 4wd truck. Keep a friend on the shore and try it out. :biggrin: Quote
