If This Invention Doesn’t Make You Smile, Please Leave This Site

I am sure you have all heard the expression “money can’t buy you happiness,” and the comedian that follows it up with “but have you ever seen someone on a jet ski that isn’t happy.” That is how I feel about this invention; if you imagine yourself on this ride and you aren’t smiling ear-to-ear, time to see a therapist.

The invention is disclosed in a recently published patent application, which describes the invention as:

A snow bike track assembly includes a frame assembly, at least one strut, an endless track, a plurality of top and bottom rollers, a skid rail assembly, a drive assembly, and a swing arm assembly. The frame assembly is configured to connect to a frame of a motorcycle in place of a rear wheel of the motorcycle. The at least one strut is connected to the frame assembly and configured to connect to the motorcycle frame in place of a rear shock of the motorcycle. The plurality of top rollers are mounted to the frame assembly and arranged to support the endless track. The plurality of lower rollers are mounted to the skid rail assembly and arranged to support the endless track. The drive assembly is configured to drive the endless track. The swing arm assembly is coupled between the frame assembly and the skid rail assembly.

I wanted to learn more about whether this invention was on the market, but wthe patent office records do not show the patent application as being assigned to a company. A little Googling led me to the cool products of MotoTrax, so they should have some interest in this patent application (particularly if it is not owned by them).

Now I am off to Craigslist to search for a dirt bike, and to Amazon for some cool snow goggles!
