A person gracefully slides, or drifts, around a corner riding an “ice motorcycle” on a small frozen pond Wednesday, Jan. 21, in Mount Prospect. According to American Motorcyclist Association, riding a motorcycle on ice seems like it would be impossible, but after adding a few hundred traction screws to the front and rear tires, you’ll experience traction levels as good as the best dirt or even asphalt tracks. Racers compete on plowed courses that are either oval-style, like a flat track, or grand-prix style, with right and left turns of all shapes and sizes.
