New to bikes other than my Harleys! I am picking up my first bike with pedals in over 50 years tomorrow. I purchased a used Wallke H9 AWD with 130 miles on it, and intend to use it for one purpose,,, FISHING! I have thought long and I am thinking for getting my one and my 2 man Ice shanties on the hard water so at 72 years old with both knees replaced, and 7 fusions in my spine from a 22 foot fall in 1991, as well as 3 crushed discs that are pinned and plated, I need help to fish like I used to.

I intend to install two studded tires on it, and am only interested in being able to run 5 to 10 mph on the ice with a 60 lbs flip over Ice shanty in tow, and my gear, maybe 70lbs total. Hopefully also my 2 man and gear closer to 125 lbs total gear and flip over shanty. Both have teflon runner kits installed and max trip one way would seldom be more than a mile or 2 all on hard water, and usually less than 1/4 mile. I will use the luggage rack on back for my Buddy heater power pack for the shanty fans lights and music, as well as tackle. everything else will ride in the sleds.

So since I have never seen it done, and can get no advice other than it won't work,,, here I am with open ears, and stubborn enough to know there is always a way. I'm looking for some to help me make that easier to figure out and as efficient as I can make it!

So hello bikers, now I'm going out and going to lunch on my HD ultra classic, and it I do ride over 15 mph
